Ok so the Blueprint warranty is for 30 months/50,000 miles since purchase, whichever comes first. It’s way passed 30 months so warranty is out the window. The entire build only has 1400 miles on it. Should i keep going with the conventional or synthetic?

I always thought that after initial break-in, 500–1000 miles would be good to go full synthetic. Here’s the quote off their website. “This break in oil can be used for the first 500 miles, during the break in of your new crate engine. It has been specially formulated with the following...

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

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
