I always do ;)

Mine is actually 10W-30 after 2002 they switched to 5w-30 I believe, these engines run very hot so a thicker oil will be better for these is what I have heard.

I am aware of this but I usually do 3-4k mile OCI’s regardless so I don’t think spending 10 extra dollars would be worth it in my case.

Curious on what people think about running syn-blend in an 02 lesabre. Looking to run it because I want a 10W-40 but its nearly non existent in full synthetic. If anyone has any thoughts or experiences with supertech or quaker state all-mileage, or valvoline maxlife synthetic blend please share...

High Mileage oils won’t really fix leaks they more work to prevent them which is why I like to use them. My old 09 Mitsubishi galant with the 2.4L 4 cyl, I got it in 2022 with 89k miles and it had no leaks, I drove that car for about 2 years before a lady rear ended me and totaled it. When it...

2002 Buick Lesabre, 87200 miles OCI ~ 2300miles. Bit shorter then normal but about to take a ~ 2000 mile trip to Miami. Out- 4.5 quarts supertech 10W30 FSHM and Fram Synthetic Endurance oil filter In- 4.5 Quarts of Supertech 10W-30 FSHM and Microgard Select oil filter.

2002 Buick Lesabre 84914 Miles 4065 OCI Out: 4.5QT Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage, Fram Synthetic Endurance FE3387A Filter In: 4.5QT Supertech Full Synthetic High Mileage, Fram Synthetic Endurance FE3387A Filter

I like the way this guy thinks

Correct no Valvoline Restore and Protect ever used in my mothers subaru.

I think any engine ever will get a golden hue eventually except maybe if you exclusively run Valvoline Restore and Protect. I saw a guy with an 07 camry with the 2AZ-FE that was burning extreme amounts of oil pour chemtool b12 directly in the combustion chamber, let it sit, then crank it over...

Yeah this stuff looks professional, that's why I haven't seen it before probably. Good to know about it if I ever have an issue like that.

Holy crap a 15k mile OCI is very long, what made you want to run that many miles on the oil change?

Definitely because of you guys' severe conditions, where I live is pretty sparse and you rarely even get stopped by lights if you take the right routes which we try to do as much as possible. Back roads around the city for the win.

Here is my moms Subaru Outback 2016, 150,002 miles, mainly Supertech 0W-20 FS HM, 10K OCI. Lots of city driving, no matter how much I try to convince my dad to change it at 5K miles he insists on 10K but oh well, not my car. The little darker spot is just because oil sits there and cooks...

I agree that Valvoline Restore and Protect is extremely good at cleaning tarnish and carbon deposits, my vehicles and the ones i maintain have never seen excessive tarnish so I haven’t had any reason to use it. For me that premium price point of Valvoline Restore and Protect is not necessary for...
