    How often should I change my oil.

    How often should I change my oil.

    Anyone done a UOA on Penrite before? I tried their semi-syn 5W40 a few years ago & wasn't impressed. My work mate had a BA XR6T & we ran Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 in it. Changed it every 15K. Was very smooth. The more common option round here would be M1 0W40. Either one will be far better than...

    Toyota Japan Fluid SDS

    VOA Motul 8100 X-CESS 5W40

    Thanks for the VOA. I run this in my old man's Peugeot 406 HDi, does the trick.

    Sludge, Conventional oil, DI engines ?

    Why not use a C3 spec, mid saps in your DI if you're concerned about carbon build up. Dexos2 is based on C3 so should be easy to find state side

    Oil/ Filter recommendation 14 fusion 1.5 ecoboost

    What spec does your owners manual call for? 948B? Use a Ford/Motorcraft filter while it's under warranty

    Penrite Premium 0W-50 (too much zinc?)

    Why not run a proper race oil like Motul 300V? 5W-40 would be perfect for your use http://www.oil-club.ru/forum/topic/8006-8006/ Yes I know it costs a lot more but I think it's worth it in the long run. I'm running 300V 5W-30 in my own car (3SGE dual VVTi), has done 5500km of everyday driving...

    Recommendations for 1998 Altezza RS200z w 3S-GE

    From the JDM owners manual. Any 30 weight with an A3/B3 rating is perfect for the 3SGE

    Recommendations for 1998 Altezza RS200z w 3S-GE

    As per my signature artificialist the OE LSD is a Torsen type so don't require friction modifiers

    Red Line 5W-30, 2014 Focus ST, 5000 mi

    Ecoboost engines are direct injection so fuel dilution may well be at play here

    UOA Mobil1 ESP 5W30 3,300mi

    Must have been a very hard 3300mi. The factory recommended OCI is 10K mi/15K km. If M1 ESP is struggling I'd be looking to try another VW 504/507 spec'd oil for sure.
