oils are awesome now, 10k will be no problem

i think i would get 42mpg with a 5 speed but my wife cannot drive one. the car has 27k with mostly hiway driving. m1 0-20 is outstanding too. the sonic has had synthetic OCis at 6500-7k usually with one run of havoline conv at 6k. i use mobil gas most of the time...i was a hesitant to put 0-20...

my mpg did go up .1 to 33.9 after 100 miles. My friend knows better but he just does not care, i have known quite a few people like that. Maybe i am the idiot for changing synthetic oil after 7500k considering i know people who put in the cheapest oil they can find and rarely even change the...

car has 23,500 miles and i wanted to see if oil was as good as M1 0-20 which is my favorite oil. I have seen a .01 increase in mpg in only 100 miles of driving and i am hoping for at least .02. With the exception of turbos, i feel anything from SN 0-20 to 10-30 will be fine in gas engines. My...

i would not use 10-40 in winter.

i went 2400 miles on FF and put in 2 qts of M1 0-20 and 3 qts of M1 0-30. The car is getting 36 mpg and hopefully as engine breaks in i will be getting 38mpg once i can start putting in the summer blend gas. 6 speed auto. the car is very roomy and and gutsy, i would recommend a sonic to anyone...

i just bought a new chevy sonic and GM dumps in ac/delco syn blend for ff w/ nothing added

i really like mobil one 0-20, it is 32.99 with a great m1 oil filter thrown in at autozone...i like mobil super or pzl too for regular oil but any modern oil would work well

it has the 1.8 in it and flys down the hiway, lots of headroom and trunkroom too...if anyone else has a cruze or sonic how have they run for you? any ideas when to change the FF? i am at least going 3k...it is nice to see big 3 back on their feet again, i think this sonic will be highly...

my bil has gone 35k on same oil and filter if you dont count the 3qts of synthetic i dumped in...he bought used subaru w/ 95k, car has 130k 13 months later...his vw turbo sludged up last summer but that didnt phase him a bit, a true legend...going by his years of zero maint, oil is over...

go to 10k at least

all of QS are good and you might as well use synthetic if you change it yourself

i noticed a difference on M1 0-20 in a ford focus, mustve been close to 38mpg w/ 5 speed...mobil super is just as good as pz for less $$$

PYB could go 10k too in regular driving....i have gone 5k on a G5 and OLM says i have 58% oil life left

sayjac, the pontiac 2.2 "diesel" is up to 34.8mpg now after being 32.2 just after gas tank/fuel lines were cleaned so it seems ok now...i told the tech personally to put on my own oil filter and i wasnt charged for fram he ended up putting on...i changed oil on pontiac only 100 miles after...
