Yep!

1. The thinnest motor oil I acknowledge the existence of is 30 weight. 20 weight and thinner does not exist in my world. 2. Most everyone here cares way too much about oil, including me. Most everyone in the driving public doesn't care enough. The "right" amount of caring is a lot closer to the...

Wonder how many potential members you guys lose with the vinegar vs. honey approach.

Don't support scammers.

End of the thread, I suspect.

1. Correct specs for my application - my opinion, may or may not match what the MFG says I should use. 2. Mostly brand agnostic but will avoid UltraOnePlus, Triax, and any no name dollar tree stuff. Lesser known but solid brands or store brands are perfectly fine. 3. Whatever costs least.

When I was growing up it was just good sense?

Full disclosure on this, not to be a hypocrite, but I leave the filter on for two OCI's on my daily driver. I do this because: 1. That's what the manual says to do 2. I have a UOA showing the oil is fine with a re-used filter 3. I rack up the same miles the OP did all year in 3 weeks 4. The...

Bimart too, for those in the PNW. There are other stores than Walmart and Amazon in the world.

Home Depot looks to still be decent. Showing stock on all of this.

1. At 700 miles, I wouldn't change the filter, but I also wouldn't change the oil. Run it ~3 years at that rate. Or change as needed to maintain warranty, likely oil + filter yearly. 2. It's a high performance engine so you want to get all the old oil out of the filter, but then want to put the...

I mostly didn't intend to build up a stash, just stocked up when on sale. Most of it is $8 and $12/gal Delo 5w40 XSP. I did stock up on 0w40 Mobil Euro for the shortage, to take care of friends and family not in a position to stock up. 5w40 XSP is basically the perfect universal oil, 0w40 Euro...

Hear that. May phase one finish soon and phase two go smoothly. And until then, Harbor Freight to the rescue.

In that situation, I'd still buy a 5 quart jug and have a few years of oil on hand. It keeps. Preferably consolidate with another engine or vehicle and use the same oil in both. 0w30 is pretty universal.
