My son’s f150 sees mostly 4 mile drives. Valvoline Restore and Protect has been in the sump since last fall. I checked the oil last spring and it still looked new so I left it. Will change it in the fall. Should have 4K miles, lol.
I was thinking on trying HPL no VI oils, 5W20 in my Tundra. Since it’s now on the engine replacement recall I’m not wasting my money. I’ll stick to EP probably 5W30. 27K and it’s running great. Oil gets changed every 5K.
Keeping it out of VCM will be the biggest benefit. I put a SVCM in our 19 Pilot. 94K currently, AMSOIL Signature Series 0W20 and now 0W30 its whole life. 87 gas top tier or not. Redline SL1 before every oil change. I haven’t noticed any rise on the dip stick from fuel.
I clean mine every 30K. Same time when I clean the reusable air filters…Dryflow type. This time on the Pilot my wife commented her MPG’s went up 6 mpgs. It’s showing 28.
