Wallmart proposes Mobil and Swepco in SAE 90 grade. Counting price, i'd buy Mobil

Sorry. Thinking about one thing, writing about another. U can grab Mag1 for example or find smth else near u

Are u sure about 90w? Cause SAE J306 doesn't know about such an oil, the highest- 85w. Read your manual carefully one more time

I guess Toyota Aqua too

May be you believe in dexos1? 5-30&0-20 have it. And one more- there are many specific tests hide under these 2 letters- SN. So it'd be better to dig deeper and u will get some additional information on it. But i'm concerned that oil has to have some additional approvals from ILSAC, ACEA fe...

Mobil really do not use Na adds, it has Mg as an alternative option to weigh up an additive package in some of their oils. Not the best decision especially for gasoline engines, but still it's needed to reduce LSPI effect on last turbo engines. LM uses Na in some of their oils, for example, LM...

Think u can easily triple your 1730 on this fill

Nope. Calcium gives a higher TBN, ash and provides longer OCI, maybe 1-2%, but that's almost nothing. Ester based oils are known as cleansing. Regular HC oil even with high ppm of Ca and short OCI will not clean, especially one of the hottest zones- pistons and rings. The best way to cope with...

The only reason to pick a Xw-30 oil is that you're towing a trailer. 1gr runs good on Xw-20 without any criminal in UOA, especially in short town trips.

Danmark, you'd better set up a turbotimer to avoid any problems with your turbo. It's pretty hot thing, especially some points so keep in mind that it'd be better to run your engine 1 extra minute after you stopped. All these blends are mixed with high percents of group 2 base stocks, not the...

There's one good russian proverb that explains what's goin on: Your optionality compensates the severity of law. It means that there's no cameras except really big cities, traffic police controls, really controls, quite petty km of roads especially interstates. Road infrastructure is very poor...

You'd better choose 10-40 or 15-40. These oils are more relevant to your climate than 0-40 or 5-40. 10(15)-40 are more stable under high temperature conditions.

Weak oil. Your engine is almost new, but there's alu-11, iron-8 and even copper. 30% of OCI is road trip. Of course, this engine usually gives alu and iron in UOA, but not that fast. Better choose smth else

Its got moly (about 150ppm) inside and Noack at 9,0. There's only one problem- CCS, this oil isnt a 0w, its some kind of 2,5w.

Your UOA looks good as for this car. Previous oil was with titanium package, im curious about manganese- where it comes from. For further- OCI=10k km on this oil
