Hi there, Hi there! I’m getting ready to do an oil change on the LaCrosse & I just wanted to know which specific mobil-1 do you personally recommend? I remember you telling me that 0w40 for driving conditions in FL would be no problem but I’m confused with all the different type of Mobil 1...

Hi there! I’m getting ready to do an oil change on the LaCrosse & I just wanted to know which specific mobil-1 do you personally recommend? (high mileage, synthetic, ESP Formula etc… options for 0w40).

What? You ok bud?

Yes, I’m gonna look into that as well

Oh wow, I didn’t know that especially with all the negativity framm filters get on here & from geargeads I talk too!

Hi! I have a 2013 buick lacrosse 2.4 Ecotec engine (I think it’s the same as your Equinox’s engine). It unfortunately has pretty low compression on 2 of the cylinders (to be exact the readings were cylinder 1 is 160, 2 is 142, 3 is 100 & 4 is 110). The car still runs fine but is obviously on...

The previous owner used to do 12000 miles OCI with Mobil 1 but when I saw the oil filter he used (framm tough) I was appalled. I can’t believe he wasn’t using a superior filter like Wix xp, Amsoil ea or Mobil 1’s best filter….especially with the OCI he was doing!

I got it for very cheap on eBay, that’s why I’m considering using the Restore engine additive. My brother tells me to try signature series by Amsoil in it. He tells me it’ll clean it up but I don’t know if that’s possible with all the mileage it has.

The car has 217,000 miles on it. Do you have a particular cleaner in mind that you’ve heard of? Ones that yields good results with an engine like the ECOTEC which is prone to gumming up?

Hi, thanks for your reply! Someone else said I should use a different type of oil too… something like 0w-40. I live in Florida so I don’t know how much I can get away with by changing the viscosity by that much! I don’t know if it was wet or dry when they did it. What do I ask them to determine...

Hi, due to the severe differences in compression (of cylinders 3 & 4).

Thanks for your feedback! I already have another vehicle that’s my dd but I’m just looking to extend this one’s life as much as possible.

Is the Berrymans Chemtool superior to the Amsoil flush or BG EPR (Engine Performance Restoration) treatment?

I live in Florida & drive the car around town (short trips)…do you think that Mobil 1 0W40 will be safe for my car? I ask this because it states in my owners manual to use 5W30.

Hello guys! I need some advice for my 2013 buick lacrosse (it’s the 2.4 ecotec that’s like a mild hybrid). Please help me out & anybody chime in with their expertise/experience/opinion! The vehicle has significant compression loss on 2 cylinders…(specifically the compression test reads that...
