    I drained old but working. GL4 IN 98 CABRIO. 200,000. PUT IN expensive REDLINE MT90 AND AT 0°F I HAD TO LET THE car IDLE FOR 15+MIN. TO GET IT TO SHIFT. !!? @100+ miles ..short trips..it got much better pushing each Synchromesh. I will retry with. Different GL4.. cheaper too. Hard to find.

    Castrol 10w-30 vs Mobil 15w-40

    I don't get it. I would never run hot heavier than owners manual. Like never 40 when mfgr says 30.. except a guy here says he can hear pin noise !?!? If I was in Iraq .I would run what warranty/manual says. That said I think all mfgrs(engineers) have sent out bulletins recommending using 0W...

    Go for all! Make sure you install filters (Purolator One?) wet. I am going with 0w30 syn hm if I don't have to buy Amzoil.

    Whats the advantage of syn blend?

    I agree. Synthetic does Not run through high mileage seals more than conventional or blends. It appears we have two choices for 0w30 syn high mileage. I am considering adding at205 to create high mileage. Anyone?

    Which would you choose? 12k mile OCI with a 100% synthetic or 5k mile OCI with conventional

    My 2005 Montana Sv6 195000 miles does not like 5w30 magnetek full synthetic..wix xp. Lifters click when cold..any conventional oil ILSAC 6A WITH standard (5000 MILE) wix never started with noisy lifters mostly FVP 5W30. I m draining the Castrol synthetic early (5000 miles) and putting...

    2012 Mustang 3.7L V6 - High Performance Lubricants HDEO 5w-20 - 15,437 miles

    I dont get it. If you aren't racing or testing for an odd use fleet..oil analysis is expensive and OCD..mho. 10000..15000 OC ..is so little expense for a normal vehicle and driver. I think it is wise pull the dipstick every 1st Saturday..unless you suddenly get a leak under the car.

    Can I put 0w20 in 2AZ-FSE (Toyota 2.4L 4cyl 2005 Scion tc) normally runs 5w30

    Me too. Stay with owners manual oil weight spec..use only Ilsac 6 or 6A ..6B..maybe Dexos2..cheapest. If you believe marketers...pay for Castrol. Mobil 1 is obsolete..mho.
