If there is no leak because that might also be an issue, I'd go with Mobil 1 5W-50 Extended life. If that won't be enough then try Mobil 1 10W-60.

Exactly!! I was actually about to do it myself but I had only one jack and no jackstands. I did not want to take the risk going under the car with one jack. Unfortunately, this is not the first time. They always overfill but this time was too much overfilled. I took extra time to fix the...

Hi all, Since I did not have time to change my own oil, decided to take it to a mechanic again. I handed in 5 qt jug and OEM filter. I checked the dipstick and it was over the full-mark. I drove about a mile then turned off the engine. I checked back the dipstick after an hour then decided to...

Well it is bad varnish which is rare for that engine. Probably extended drain intervals with the dino oils. You may want to try M1 HM 5W-20..I've read somewhere in here that it has higher ester content. I have a 2004 Civic which has 105k miles on it. I took a few shots last year.

You didn't mention the model of your car. I assume it is Ford Focus? If you want to use full synthetic oil, you can go with Mobil 1 Peak Life 5W-50. It has extra seal additives like the high mileage oils in the US. I believe that it will decrease your consumption...

I am trying to decide the OCI. I used to change around 4k in 6-7 months with Mobil Super Synthetic. Trying to extend OCI this time with M1 HM. Driving style; 4 miles one way commute (30-50 mph), plus a few miles during afternoon for the lunch. At least 3 times, one way 10 miles highway...

Very nice report! I am trying to decide my OCI. My last fill is in the signature. 4 miles one way commute (30-50 mph), plus a few miles during afternoon for the lunch. At least 3 times, one way 10 miles highway (60-75 mph). sometimes idling in traffic.. What would the ideal OCI??
