Honest question, but why care about marketing approach if it’s about the product you purchase? Users aren’t required to sell it themselves. Besides, we have @Pablo who has been here for literally decades. Personally, having a go to product expert isn’t a bad thing at all. Amsoil products are...

Yes. That’s pretty much the approach I’ll be taking. Thanks :)

I added a bottle of Lubegard Red ATF additive to an older 99 Dodge Stratus with TC lockup engagement issues. It helped until I sold it. The transmission had been severely neglected and likely on ATF+3. I converted it to ATF+4 with the LG additive. Got somewhat better but the damage had been...

And said it was better than Amsoil Signature! 😂😂😂

OK, I got confused I guess 😅

Wow! Agreed with his comments. Not to go off topic, but what is your current fill in this engine and plans moving forward? HPL? R&P? More HPL EC?

You’re right. I’m probably just overthinking it here combined with being lazy and not using Search function. I don’t usually buy ahead and have R&P planned for the next year. I probably will get the PUP this time. The deal is too good.

True, my vehicle doesn’t have any special requirements. I’m already bumped up a grade. And, I likely won’t extend the interval nearly as much as I’m willing to do on Amsoil SS. Price point is too good though.

Not trolling. 🤣 I realize it’s entirely subjective. Honestly, I’m probably asking without need…my vehicle doesn’t really push oil to its limits. $2.7 per quart for PUP is a good deal.

Does anyone have experience using Ultra Platinum? Are there any characteristics it tends to have in use; even if anecdotal, in your usage? Thinking of going for the $30 rebate. :)

Thinking of sending you one of the two Amsoil filters I am hesitant to use of the leaky/ruffler bypass valve issue. :)

Rather confusing. Completely different builds. What do the date codes reveal about which is perhaps more recent?

Yeah, despite my Fit being easy on the oil, I also planned to limit the OCI to 5k. I don’t see the point attempting to run the interval out when using for its cleaning properties.

Was there any oil consumption prior to R&P? It probably doesn’t have the best noack, though as is typical for Valvoline. I think this relates to their limited use when extending OCIs.

Okay. So, I wanted to confirm the others, you are correct on the 0w-20. Might be how they get their 0w rating? Not nearly as much PPD needed with the greater percentage of GTL. 5w-20 is between 45% to 70% GTL; and 15% to 40% for group III non-GTL. 5w-30 is anywhere between 30% to 60% GTL; with...

I’ll be running a filter that’s about 10% shorter soon, but it’s for the Fit that hardly has anything in the filters I’ve had cut. Effectively a PG4612EX made for Service Champ. Not such a big drop, but I got a case of 12 under the belief they had fully synthetic, nylon backed media. Turns out...

I thought 5w-30 grade had the lowest GTL% and the two 20 grades had the highest? 🤔

Generally agree on M1 having more at their disposal and leading the industry among the majors. But, that narrative can be changing given the innovation with R&P. Follow the money. If it continues to sell, and people get results, Valvoline will put even more into their own engine testing and...

Yeah, I do agree. I was just trying to be fair and honestly, I’m not running out there to grab Valvoline’s EP given those better options. If I did, I’d buy their EP HM. Instead of either of those, though, I’ll be trying the R&P to see if consumption changes in my daily driver. :) That...

At least, in vehicles known to have a tendency to develop oil consumption. Severe use case. For an average daily driver? I don’t see the issue running Valvoline EP; in non-extended service. Perhaps @Glenda W. ‘s experiment running only M1 ESP now will yield more of a complete picture to whether...
