So with Peak claiming 15 years, Zerex and Supertech claiming 5 years, Supertech being made by Peak and really being Peak, and someone earlier in this thread said the number of years claimed it just advertising, it becomes a confusing issue. How many years of use is realistic for Peak, Zerex...

You're sure of this?

Great question. I would also like to know.

And yet Amsoil & PUP ranked best in his tests. Is that a pure coincidence? In any case, I also explained my personal experiences with regular M1.

I recently learned that Peak & Prestone Asian Blue coolant are rated for 15 years. The other brands I've seen are rated for 5 years. I also learned that Prestone is $1 to $2 less in my local area. That surprised me because for multi-vehicle universal coolants Peak is lower cost than Prestone in...

First of all, I don't know what the OP means by bad reputation, and I wasn't saying that regular M1 is bad oil. I do however suspect it's average oil and not ideal for my needs. Project Farm had his motor oil Olympics. Probably none of you would be surprised that Amsoil won and PUP was second...

I put Peak Asian Blue into an 03 Honda CR-V. I'm happy with it. I bought Peak because it was on sale at NAPA at the time. I recently bought Zerex Asian Blue to put in an 11 Hyundai Elantra. I haven't put it in yet. I'm going to return it to Oreilly and then go to NAPA or Walmart to buy Peak...

In response to the OP: Wouldn't it depend on which M1 product? I'm aware that M1 Euro approved oil is good as are most or all brands of Euro approved oil. I'm also aware that M1 Truck & SUV is good. Maybe also M1 High Mileage, though I'm skeptical of that one vs other brands of HM oils. But can...

I've changed my mind about using 5w20 in my neighbors Honda CR-V because her CR-V is a bit of an oil burner I have learned. So next time I'll put 5w30 in it.

OK. Well now it's not showing in this 2nd post. Why did it show in my 1st (OP) post above, but not in this 2nd post?

For some reason it hasn't been showing. So testing here.

Maybe the monkey uploaded the wrong image.

Sponge Bob is great fun for kids and adults, especially with a drink.

Yes

I suggest any brand of Euro approved 5w30 that's available at Walmart website, or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w40. PUP is thin per grade. So 5w40 PUP will only be slightly (if any) thicker than a Euro approved 5w30, especially considering that Euro oils run thick per grade. Euro approved 0w30 would...

Gringo Hunters on Netflix. I really enjoy it. It's supposedly (loosely) based on true stuff. The Gringo Hunters are basically Mexican ICE agents or marshals hunting down and capturing American criminals in Mexico and deporting them into the waiting hands of US Federal law enforcement officers...

Good point. I don't know if, or how much, revving is needed, but one good 30+ min high speed highway drive per month is defineately helpful for keeping engine and oil clean. You might also be correct about the occasional (at least monthly) revving. I make sure my car does those things once a month.

For sure you can use 5w30 with no worries. In Florida it'll be an improvement, IMO. Besides, PUP 5w30 is relatively thin for 5w30. PUP 5w30 is only slightly thicker than most other brands 5w20. I think PUP 5w30 is your best option because it's good oil (other than being thin per grade) and it's...

OK. Thanks. You've made 407 posts. That's not new, but I do see you joined 2½ months ago in May, which is somewhat recent, but not new. You clearly know things and have good info to share. Thank you.

It's not that I (or anyone else) thought you couldn't understand the Stribeck curve. It's a simple concept that just sounds complicated. It's that we thought you just wanted some brief, easy, practical, relevant, helpful advice. I now see that you enjoy the minutia and weeds. I think you're...
