    Any Mobil 1 High Mileage Oil users?

    I just dumped it after 3k in my silverado. was quiet with the 10w30m1 hm. that oil did seem to make the truck a little less responsive than the 5w30 maxlife blend though. If i ever run it again i think i will cut it with a quart or 2 of the m1 0w20 wich i think is also mostly pao.

    Castrol Tection Extra vs. Rotella, and Delo 15W40

    cat oil is delvac1 not delvac 1300. the two oils are NOT in the same. I think detroit diesel also had some oil that was delvac1 in a detroit bottle.

    Going from M1 to a HM oil. Is it a downgrade?

    some people think regular mobil1 is missing a big thing that I think mobil1 hm 10w30 has in it, Gp IV basestock. After talking to the mobil 800 number and reading the spec's I think the hm 10w30 is better oil. IMHO

    Can different brand oils affect power or mileage?

    Brian, I started using hm oils in my 2000 silverado. The first one i tried was the maxlife 5w30 blend. To my shock i started get the best gas mileage I have ever gotten with that truck. I know that the oil should be thicker and cause mileage loss, but for some reason it gives better mileage. I...

    please list the filters that have a silicone adbv

    If your drainback valve leaks the oil could flow the wrong way in the filter and wash some of the particles off of the filter media when you shut your engine down and then when you start it when the oil is cold the filter may go into bypass and the particles in the bottom of the filter can are...

    please list the filters that have a silicone adbv

    I am starting to think the regular adbv's in most filters will not last for a 5k run without leaking. I noticed on my 01 impala with 3.8 and with the supertech or ac delco filter it starts making noise at startup around 2-3k. Just for the heck of it i put a new oil filter on and did not change...

    Castrol Tection Extra vs. Rotella, and Delo 15W40

    I ran all three in my 1999 7.3 powerstroke with a stout dp tune on it. the delo gave me the lowest wear numbers. It gave me better uoa's than delvac1 also. I think delo is maybe the best or one of the best dino oils ever made IMHO
