i have a 96 honda civic with the D16y8 (sohc vtec). Anyways the previoud owner claims to use pennzoil platimum on it. honda recommends mobil 5w-30 for most of those b and d series motors i believe. plus i always prefer mobil lubricants. would it be okay to start using m1 hm 5w30? the car has...
So all s series blazers are ticking time bombs? and the jimmys? both of these have high miles and still run amazing. any car is a timebomb if they are abused.
Not sure i can post pics from my phone or i would show you guys but today when changing the oil i looked in the pan. (the drain pan) and the oil was very gritty like had specs of sand everywhere and same for the oil filter.. this makes me mad. how hard is it to change oil. i know im new to all...
Sorry for confusion but i have 2 bravadas now. and the one i just picked up has had some abuse.. the oild is black and overfilled. and the guy claims to only use 10w40 in it... so basically i got a big mess to clean up

Ok i went to valvoline website and messed with thier oil calculator thing abd they recommend valvoline full synthetic.. ig anything over 75k and that my vehicle make recommends it? idk what to do really. ive always used zyntbetic and have never had a problem.
Idk differnt opinions of course i nust want to know im on the safe side. bc conventional oil does seem to be ALOT cheaper.. and if it is safer than using synthetic with the miles then i might as well buy two 5 qt jugs of it.. i would be in with those for the cost of one mobil 1. that way i can...
In my 98 bravada with 190k it seems like i have to check the oil from time to time bc it does use some ive noticed. when i first put the m1 in. now it seems to be keeping the same level. maybe this is from the fact i am using synthetic? or the fact that there is a slight leak bc on the bottom of...
Alright i have yet another 99 bravada AWD with 218k basically a chevy blazer. has the 4.3 vortec engine. anyways when i got it the oil was overfilled abd tar black! i am concerned bc the guy claims to use 10w40 only? he says it lasts longer which imo wouldnt matter what oil u use if its this...
