    Supertech 5w-20 synthetic non dexos vs Mobil 5w-20 synthetic non dexos?

    Hello for a friends oil change. The vehicle calls for 5w20 and it’s summer now so I assume It’s better to run 5w20 compared to a 0w20 for shear stability I saw I can get super tech 5w20 non dexos synthetic for a few dollars cheaper then the basic Mobil 5w20 synthetic non dexos (not Mobil 1) If...

    anything to look out for when getting a brake fluid change?

    Awesome ty! I def don’t mind doing the siphon method and as long as the reservoir keeps getting dirty I can assume the fluid is mixing around. Reminds me of my days that I did the turkey baster PS fluid
