Is 40 grade a must? Mobil offers a high ZDDP product for this type of application...

Just saw it in my local Walmart for the first time. I typically use Gumout Regane or Techron, but I’ll give this a try next time.

Depends on local environment. I’m guessing you don’t live in a region that’s been subject to wildfire smoke anytime lately, for instance.

Doesn’t that mean the experiment doesn’t have sufficient data to be significant? “It’s the only data we have” doesn’t equate to “we can draw a conclusion from it”. I think a lot of his analysis is trying to squeeze blood from a stone for content generation. Settling for drawing conclusions...

This is something that is massively overlooked here with any LSJr content. He is a content creator first and foremost in the context in which we see him. He has done the work to make himself a social media star within this space, to generate revenue from clicks and exposure to his company. He...

Has anybody been running this? It seems like it hasn’t made much of a dent in our crowd, but I was curious if there’s any feedback now that it’s been out for awhile.

I used to be a “minimum spec” person years ago, but not anymore. All oils are not the same. Yes, they’ll meet the floor of the API requirements, but if you put me in an experiment where I needed to keep a vehicle for 300k miles and I could either choose to run Mobil ESP or Lucas for its entire...

Like others have said, it’s splitting hairs. Pick the price or branding you like best.

Personally, it doesn’t bother me much if the price of a jug goes up a few bucks, but in terms of gasoline, Americans drive a lot over the course of a year and while our fuel is cheaper than many other places, we make up for it on volume.

2008 Accord V6. 200k miles on unit. OCI: 6,576 miles. Out and in: Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5W-30 and Mobil 1 filter. Fourth change in a row with this oil.

Mystik and SuperGard are about to leapfrog their way up the 2026 oil change tally list.

Not saying by choice, but rather if the group III shortage is that severe then perhaps blenders will be forced to produce synthetic blends to maintain adequate volume. I’m not saying people will prefer to choose a blend, I’m saying there might not be enough group III to go around for a certain...

It’s $27.97 at my Walmart as of a few days ago.

I wonder if some of us will be going back to blends temporarily later this year…
