I use Mobil 1 0w40 in a bunch of our cars here. My wife’s Pontiac Vibe (Toyota 1.8L) is at 260k miles and i never have to top it off within my 5k OCI’s. Still runs like a top!

I’m using Mobil 1 0w40 in several cars & i live in NorCal. You’re up in even colder weather, I’d definitely be using an 0w. Alota cheap choices from Walmart too! All within a few bucks of each other.

You know what, you might be right. Maybe my BMW’s cartridge filter was a Mahle not Mann

Yeah i reuse most of them as well, but the one on my sister’s GLK looked a bit worn/looser fitting than the normal

Recently, I changed the oil on my sister‘s Mercedes-Benz GLK 350. She brought over Mobil 1 oil and an Mobil 1 cartridge filter. It did not come with a drain plug gasket (copper). IIRC Mann cartridge filters came with them. Any other brands that come with the copper gaskets?

I have two. ‘85 & ‘88

I will be running this in my Foxbody as well with a 2004 Cobra swapped drivetrain

2017 Chevy Tahoe 8 Qts Mobil 1 ESP Euro 0w30 Microgard Select MSL10255

So no Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 for ya?

Wow that sounds crazy going from 0w16 to 10w40 🤯 So 0w16 if you want CAFE ratings/emissions regulations, the thicker stuff for protection/longevity 🤔

So does this chart mean even a 10w30 will work in this Rav4 hybrid?

I’m not sure about this. But from what i remember manufacturers switching to 0w20’s and thinner were all due to CAFE ratings

Nah we won’t be towing anything

It’s my family’s vehicle we’re borrowing to take a trip to Lake Tahoe and they said it’s due for an oil change, but didn’t have time to take it to their local Jiffy Lube lol! I know the manual recommends 8 quarts of 0w20, but isn’t that just for CAFE ratings? What would be your best oil to pick...
