    Most Satisfying Part of an Oil Change

    This post made my day. For years I have told people that I love changing the oil, and watching the old oil drain. So many people have looked at me like I had 3 heads. I find it therapeutic just watching it drain.

    Have you owned a vehicle for 15 years without internal engine problems

    I never owned 1 vehicle in my 30+ years of driving that experienced "internal engine problems" ever, let alone in less than 15 years. I have owned multiple new and used vehicles over the years, most of the used were 10+ years old to begin with still running stock internals.

    10w-40 in Jeep 4.0

    I'm curious when this old wives tale will stop being told. Synthetic will do no harm to that engine. If you do some research in your free time, you will see countless articles written by people other than "Someone I know" that clarifies this is an old school mentality, that had some validity...

    When did y'all draw the line in gambling

    So many thoughts, so little time... It's called gambling for a reason. You're more likely to lose than win. If people won, casinos wouldn't be so nice. They wouldn't even exist if people won more than they lost. You're friend will blow through that $250k real quick if he thinks he has it...

    Jeep oil and SuperTech

    Been running ST synthetic in my 2000 XJ for well over 100k now. No issues. Actually started using it in all my engines several years ago, no issues.

    Using SuperTech full synthetic vs name brands

    Been using Supertech synthetic in all my engine for years without a single issue. I have sent several away for UOA over the years when I first started using Supertech because truth be told I was nervous about using an inexpensive oil. I had previously sworn complete allegiance to M1. At the...

    cars with high mileage

    I had a 1990 Ranger with 290k on the original engine and tranny. I sold it a few years back to a guy who worked in construction. I like to think it is still on the road somewhere.

    2k miles on oil in 1 year...go longer?

    I have a vehicle that only gets a couple hundred miles a year. I change the oil every 2 to 3 years. Even when I have gone out 3 years, the oil still looks brand new coming out. I have debated using it in my daily driver (Cherokee XJ), just to get a some more use out of it.

    FL - Ford 08 4.6L 5w-20 recommended

    I'm in the same boat as you. I had no idea Ford continued to make the 2v after 2004. I thought they were all 3v.

    RockAuto parts? Good or not?

    I have not had any issues with them. I have returned a few parts too that I ordered incorrectly, no problems there either.

    Infrequently Used 2011 Grand Sport

    I have a 2006 Mustang GT that I drive about as much as you drive your Vette. I do oil changes every 2 to 3 years.
  13. Q

    What oil are you folks using?

    I run Supertech 5w20 in our 2017 Explorer 2.3 ecoboost. Change when the OCI reaches 0 which is around 7500-8000 miles.

    2001 jeep Cherokee oil recommendation

    I use ST synthetic 5w30 (year round) and change it every 5000 on my 2000 xj. No issues, no oil loss, no burning. Just a happy Jeep.

    Switching to syn. at 272816 miles.

    I am also guessing that you will be fine, but it's great that you're taking the time to do this and document the actual results. Thank you. I have put synthetic in every vehicle I have ever owned, regardless of mileage and have never seen any ill effects i.e. "the dreaded burning, leaking"...
