I have a '14. It ran on dealer MC until 20k miles. I run whatever full syn is on sale. Next up is Valvoline Synpower. Mobil has an almost BOGO with that rebate. I'm good for the next two years with SYN. I change it in the 20% range.

I actually saw a five quart 5w-30 at WM a couple weeks ago. It was sitting in the hardware section behind some drain cleaner in the back just praying for someone to buy it. I knew they clearance it out and was excited to buy it. Took it to the price checker and it said "see sales associate."...

It's been a couple years since I've posted. Reason being is I bought a new truck in 2014, a 3.5 Ecoboost. I took it to the dealer around here just to keep up with paperwork and whatnot. So the fun begins. The very first oil change I get the paperwork back with 5w-20 6 quarts added. I showed it...

Picked up a new to me 97 BMW 325I. 250Kish on the clock. UNK on the last oil change. Primary driving will be 7 miles round trip 4 times a week. Any other info I'm not sure what to provide. It doesn't run but after I get the parts the oil is going to be first.

They couldn't move it at that price at my WM. They knocked it down to $10 and that finally did it.

There are two jugs left sitting on the WM shelf, one of the Ultimate Durability old label and one with the "new" dexos label both in 5w-20. The car is an 09 and won't tell the difference. Which one should I grab? Is there really a big difference? The new label is definitely cooler looking though!

2009 Ford Fusion 69K on it Out: mix of valvoline durablend and castrol synblend 5w-20 In: PU 5w-20 Always use Motorcraft filters.

I can tell you first hand it isn't being discontinued. I have two WM's near me. One has discontinued the Castrol Edge gold bottle and kept the Pennzoil Ultra. The other has discontinued the Pennzoil Ultra and kept the Castrol Edge. The one with the Ultra sells it as there are holes on the shelf...

A while back I got some darn near FAR Pennzoil Ultra. At the time I could only find SM so I picked it up. It's been sitting in the garage for a while and I'm now getting ready to use it on an upcoming change. The car is an 09 Fusion and my driving is considered "severe." I drive 4 miles to work...

Take it from someone who used to work there. In short, no they don't sell it at a loss. I can type for a while and bore you with retail, but no, no loss on motor oil

How about an closed up business? The LOWE'S around here shut down and the parking lot is a variable use for anything on the weekends. While it still is private property no one cares what is going on in the parking lot they just want to sell the building. As long as the cops don't think your...

Guess I'll chime in here since I've got an 09 with the 2.3 Picked up some M1 0w-20 on clearance for $4 last spring. Saved it for the winter fill. Put it in to replace Pennzoil 5w-20 about two weeks ago. No real difference. This car has had Castrol SynBlend, Valvoline Durablend and some...

Been doin it for 13 years now. This is the first leaker I ever had. 2009 Ford Fusion 2.3 with the cartridge filter. Done it right twice now. Third times a charm hehe. Anyway the gasket around the plastic cartridge filter keeps popping out of the cartridge, causing it to leak. I took it off and...

Just buy the 5 qt and leave it a half low. Half low won't hurt anything
