I think that was a change made some while ago. Can't remember the thread where a moderator explained it.

I doubt the dealer will see mobil 1 and 0w-20 and think it's suspicious enough to check it given that there has been HM, EP, truck and suv, and other things after the Mobil 1. For the most part they are just gonna check to see 0w-20 and if there's a brand name on it especially Mobil 1 which if...

That's fair. Outside of the us these new turbo toyota engines can use thicker but if they require receipts then 0w-20 it is. I'd use m1 esp 0w-20 and Castrol edge ep 0w-20. Castrol ep is on sale and available for free shipping. Digital receipts save better than those ones that fade to nothing. I...

Electric pile of excrement.

I've never seen a filter with a width to length ratio like that.

For the most part it's because it's a 15w that meets some oem approvals. If it had to be a 10w then I don't imagine the base stock would be good enough but it could. No way a 5w-40 would be decent if it was made with a semi syn base.

Could've sworn converse was a teenage shoe company. Are those work shoes over there?

What are you a motor oil geek hater? Jokes aside yes that's all true and I know there are different reporting labs in that sheet and that there will always be a +/- x% variance in every test with the same equipment at the same lab with the same oil sample one after another. But again it's more...

I'm drawn to dislike rotella because of how much bad talk it gets and I trust many on here. I stopped buying it when I saw the foam test but at the same time I just can't find anyone having an actual bad result from using it even in foam sensitive engines like heui injector diesels. I've tried...

Is that so what? I don't know what you mean. I posted it to show that the thinking that hdeo's are always going to be high anti wear and high detergent and pcmo's are always low count isn't always true and not about adding up ppm counts to produce a ranking as that's unreliable in using to come...

As rdy4war described. Though things are different as of recently. For an old tractor whatever cheap diesel oil will do. I'd use this. Bought a bunch and have no issues, it'd the direct brand for highline warren. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MAG-1-Mag-1-15W40-CK4-H-D-Diesel-Oil-2-5-Gal/5001932875...

All true but things have changed a lot as of recently. For the longest time hdeo was as you describe. I've seen a few hdeo's have less aw and detergent additives than most euro oils and with one or two on par with regular pcmo's But just 5 years ago almost all diesel oils were still high calcium...

Low side 0? yeah it's bad. I wonder if your gauge goes below 0 as it likely would show a vacuum if it can. Surprisingly my 341k yukon denali ac is all original minus two schrader valves for maintenance and a low side switch.

"is 40 grade to thin for a 20 grade spec'd engine" a true thickie philosopher, an enlightened high viscosity ponderer.

There's not that much of a difference between off the shelf offerings though some stand out more than others Like M1 ESP and M1 0w-40 and castrol 0w-30/40. The 5w versions aren't necessarily better in terms of viscosity and shear resistance even though you'd imagine they're similar to the 0w...

I've never seen a threaded bypass valve before so that's new. And I guess it was just the image perspective, that's the typical size for a 12060 filter.

Not just thicker but shorten intervals by a lot. The ethanol poisons the oil making it acidic while still looks clear on the stick and i haven't seen it myself but maybe it gels up like how you sau. Of the few tuned e85 uoa's I've seen every one showed high acidity. If it was mine I'd use...

Haven't seen mobil super in a long time.

Either is fine but the higher ash hdeo and m1 5w-40 could be an issue if it burns oil since that 5w-40 has the older non dpf vw 505 and Mercedes 229.5 ratings I'd stick to euro oil and specifically this calls for ll-04 but any equivalent low saps diesel from another euro brand is fine to use...
