2015 Nissan Juke. Out came whatever the stealership put in a few thousand miles ago, in went: 4-1/2 quarts of Mobil7500 in 5w-30 (last of old stash) Nissan filter. No more Mobil Clean 7500. An era has passed.

I've got 100+ quarts of Pennzoil Ultra (the old, good stuff) laying around, as the primary stash component. Maybe 40+ quarts of Mobil AFE collected at $1/qt, and then some QSUD, 4 qts of MC7500 (last of the last stash of 200+ quarts), and some odds and ends Castrol Titanium stuff.

Originally Posted By: donnyj08 Be careful not to get hung up on certain values such as NOACK, VI etc. It is about the entire package as a whole. True. But also keep in mind why a low Noack is important, and what it signifies in terms of base stock quality, the foundation upon which all other...

2014 Ford Mustang v6 Out- MC7500 5w-30 In - Castrol Edge Titanium 1/2 5w-20, 1/2 5w-30 MC filter. Oil looked good, will probably consider running TBN with Blackstone to get a feel for this whole longer drain thing, the engine after a few UOAs looks easy peasey on oil.

2014 Ford Fusion Energi 11 bolts need removed to pull the fiberboard engine undercover. What a [censored]. Dealership oil change around 11K 4.5 qts PU 5w-30, Motorcraft filter at 14.5k

I put various sizes and shapes of 5w-20 and 5w-30 in my 2014 Wrangler with the Pentastar and it didn't care in the least. Cold or hot. UOAs were fine with all of them, motor might have been a hair quieter with 5w-30 but that is purely a subjective thing, in either case it wasn't so much a...
