I bought a new GM that takes 0W20 dexos rated oil. I used K&N 0W 20 in my previous vehicle and have a stash of it. It does not have the dexos symbol on the oil container. Note that the oil was purchased in January of this year. I called K&N technical service to ask if it was Dexos rated and they...
I bought a MP7317 oil filter today. The side of the box referenced Fram 7317, Mobil 110A and K&N 1010, all filters that I have used. The new-gem Titans like a high flow oil filter. $15+ every 5,000 miles for a high-flow RP or K&N is a little pricey. I saw a YouTube video with a cut up MP oil...
Tried it 2 years ago. Did not leave it in long enough for a UOA. Engine was loud upon startup. Swapped it out 2 weeks later and things were back to normal.
Ordered 1 gal. jug and some single qts. last week. Ordering it this qualified for some sort of discount and it was cheaper to get it this way directly from K&N vs. ordering two 1 gal. jugs.
I have owned 4 of the series 2 Nissan Titans. They tend to be a little noisy until the engine is fully warmed up. Along with other brands, I used Ams SS a couple of times, and it tended to burn it. I tried K&N 0W20 and the engine is quiet cold and does not burn any for the 4-5,000 duration. I...
I bought a couple bottles on sale 2 years ago. It turned the oil almost black immediately, Oh so I did not use it anymore in my vehicle. I use it in my old lawn more now and it honestly runs like a new mower. It is quieter with less vibration. Not so sure what it did in my automotive dancing...
I tried out a 6 qt box of the 0W20 today. Attached a close-able spout on the box opening and adjusted the flow volume into the funnel going in the crankcase. Very easy. Just laid the box on the engine cover. I took the funnel and put into the empty Havoline box and poured the dirty oil in, then...
Likewise, I switched from M1 0W-20 to Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 and my cold startup lifter tick almost disappeared. Then, I added STP Synthetic Oil Treatment and now it's completely gone.
