I thought long and hard about a catch can, but the port injection should keep the valves clean; I wouldn't expect the inclusion of one to improve the lifespan of the oil in the crankcase.

I doubt it's shearing that much at this mileage; likely the viscosity reduced from the fuel, but I don't think switching brands will help that much...probably just need to keep the changes fairly frequent (at least when winter idling/snowmobile trips are involved) The good news is, it looks like...

The truck is totally stock.

Hi Everyone, I bought this truck new and have serviced myself. 1 year old now. With direct injection, I was worried about fuel dilution and this is probably close to my worst case; seems like I did the right thing by changing when I did. 10k interval is a habit from past cars; a (hopefully)...

Great news! I ran the factory oil and switched to M1 @ 5,500km (3,400 Miles). 2nd change at 10,00km and I am coming up to 18,000km on the truck now. I am not sure if I'll switch to PP or stick with M1...probably stick with M1, as I can't really find a strong case that either is superior. Great...

As a follow up; Pennzoil Platinum now has WSS-M2C961-A1 listed on the TDS. Not sure if it's a new addition, but Deoxs1 Gen3 license is also on as well. https://www.shell-livedocs.com/data/published/en-CA/3770d3e0-4de4-402f-bc0a-90bf7a08a724.pdf

Hi Everyone, I have lurked for years but time to make some posts...I could use some advice! I've got a 2021 F-150 on the way with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure what oil to use and could use some advice. I have been using PPU for my other cars for reasons well documented...

mechjames, You're going to have a great time on that road trip! I did the same thing with my girlfriend two years ago. She went to work in alberta for the summer and wanted her car to drive around. I just changed the oil on her car with some dino before we left, and she had it changed before...

Hi Guys, I've lurked on these forums for a long time, and done a fair bit of research on oils over the years. In my struggle to understand how these oils are engineered and how to decide what is best for me, most of the time I have come full circle. I know the viscosity I want, and most of the...

I wonder how long the filter has been running in by-pass? sending that sludgy thick [censored] straight to the bearings, with no filtration!

more!

Hi everyone, This is my first post on the forum and I hope I am bringing something of interest. I'm a member of the toyota supra community and this thread was brought to my attention. I've read a lot on this forum, but have never posted. I had a look around on BITOG, and didn't see this...
