    Choosing my next oil

    off the shelves at Walmart I’ve used Pennzoil PPPP, Royal Purple, Valvoline EP, and in now Mobil 1 EP all 0w20.

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    I have a 2020 Equinox great car. It’s the most comfortable car I ever owned. 37000 miles and I got 35 mpg from Cleveland to NY. If you decide to change your own oil, either get a fomoto valve or an extractor… easy work. Oil filter is up front no need to lift car. I’m 67 with a bad back and bum...

    Letting Oil Drain Overnight

    I have a Fumoto valve, when I had my house I would start the drain before it got dark, wake up the next mourning and close valve, replace filter and fill oil. Now no house… I pump out the oil and replace oil filter every other change. I don’t think a half cup of oil oil left in the engine is...
