Car: 2014 BRZ 99,813 (3.3.24) - 101,822 (2008.6 OCI)
out: Amazon Full Synthetic 0w20 / stp filter
in: Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w30 / boss oil filter
I forgot I used 0.7 out of the 6 quarts of PUP with the Amazon oil change so I threw in some left over Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w20 from my focus...
2013 Ford focus 5,061 OCI
152,707-157,768
out: Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w20 fram gold filter
in: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w20 motorcraft filter
liked the PUP better than Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w20
I've been running 0w20 in my BRZ gen1. I drive it on the weekends and shift it above 6k a lot. I'm switching to 5w30 next OCI and getting the oil analyzed. thicker oil warms up faster tho, right;)
I remember my motorcycle (first mode of transportation) said change oil at 500 miles and again at 1000 miles. I been paranoid about short oil changes everything since. but idk how a motorcycle relates to a car. so I could be off topic.
🤷🏽♂️
basically tho, my takeaway should be go by the book.
2013 focus 152336 mileage. ~3200 oci

no pics because I was rushing to do it before heading to work and forgot. lol
2014 BRZ. oil had around ~813 miles on it. I got the engine swapped with another used motor so I'm sending off an oil analysis out of curiosity.
out: unknown oil / microgard oil filter
in: 0w20 Amazon basics 5 quarts+ topped off with Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w30 around . 7 of a quart.
stp...
out: fa20 (99,000 miles) w/Valvoline synthetic performed by Valvoline
in: fa20 (21k-25k miles) unknown synthetic 0w20 performed by tech
looking forward to swapping to 5w30 like a true bitoger, also looking forward to swapping the microguard to a Purolator
if you guys haven't checked out my stick yet, I suggest you check the thread where we all compare each other's. here's a pic of my latest load. $23 on Amazon for my '13 focus.
I was waiting for you to post 20 links, like usual. lol
as for the thread. my car recommends 0w20 but I had to swap the motor so I'm going 5w30 on it cause it makes me feel all fuzzy inside. I say follow the fuzziness and do severe oci's, to myself
