I just checked the PP Euro L PDS and it's quite impressive. Good value for the cost. I'm not to worried about thick oil. Seems like M1 Super Car 0w-40 is barely a 40 weight at 12.9 cst.

Slip 2000 EWL.

With all the recent threads about oil consumption of L83/ L84 engines and other issues I'm rethinking my future oil changes. My ride is 2024 Sierra 1500 5.3 with 10k miles roughly. Currently it's running old logo Castrol Edge EP 0w-20 with Fram FE. I really like the oil's spec. More like a Euro...

I'm trying to stick with Dexos rated 0w-20 for warranty purposes. I think this oil is the best out there aside from boutique oils.

So what's the deal with this new look formula not hitting the shelves? Did this oil move on to PUP style online only?

FYI Castrol just uploaded the new PDS for the reformulated Edge EP 0W-20. Seems like Walmart sells 5qt jugs online every few days before running out. Anyone confirm if its the old or new bottles being shipped? I got the old formula few months ago from a Amazon 6qt case order 😑 ...

Around what mileage did it start consuming oil? Roughly 1 quart always or did it progress?

If it's the 2014 Subaru in your signature than that's not a good comparison. CVT-II has published specs for the industry to follow. CVT-III is STILL proprietary. Usually after 3-5 years Idemistu OEM releases the technical info to their aftermarket side and then will properly formulated fluid be...

Your getting 3.5-4.5 quarts max drained. 7 quarts is just overcharging. Exactly why I do my own work.

The bluing will not degrade unless you handle the firearm a lot or let staining/ rusting that gets clean up over and over.

Well if your a slip 2000 user like me. It’s pretty hard to beat EWL 30. Nice and thick. It stays on for a long time. My wall hanging Milsurps get a coating of CLP once a year and have yet see rust. Just wipe it down once every 6 months if you storing it away for a long time.

People overthink this stuff way too much. Whatever your sight graduation is just follow the OEM set up. AR/AK iron sights just dial it in at 100 and it should be dead on no matter where you move the distance setting. As you may have seen In the current war in Europe it’s just trench warfare with...

Ballistol is more of a cleaner but it’s very outdated and not very good at anti wear. If you looking to protect from rust just basic Break Free CLP from Walmart is all you need.

The back of the Oriley CVT bottle does not list Subaru CVT-III which is the only fluid allowed. I’d demand the shop to pay for a drain and fill 3 times with oem fluid or just pay the bill for a dealer to do it.

You have any You have any proof of widespread major issues? I’m on my 2nd DFM GM truck and have yet to experience oil consumption issues with a 5.3. I could google every single engine model and find a thread on oil consumption on google. You should consider the advice of REAL WORLD folks who...

Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 is hard to beat for the cost/ performance and readily available at Walmart. The 12 quart garage box M1 0w-40 is good option to. It’s been reformulated but still affordable for what it is.

Looks good! I just wish M1 filter pricing was a little lower.

I just quit. 3rd post and zero basic info as far as OCI, oil usage, brand, and habits from OP.

Wix makes an excellent filter for Subaru's with correct bypass psi.

How often was the oil changed? Oil life monitor or mileage based? What oil weight/ brand used? Driving habbits?
