while waiting for replies I found the same link to Mobil 1 and did some more reading; looks like the Mobil 1 synthetic ATF will work well. What confused me was the "Multivehicle" term, but apparently GM, which owns the Dexron name, no longer wants anyone to use or refer to the old Dexron...

Quick question, I have a 1997 Toyota SUV which originally came with Dexron II/III ATF best that I can determine. In the past, like 15 years ago, I used Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in another Toyota with good results. However I noticed the current Mobil 1 says MultiVehicle Formula on it. So the...

To answer a couple of earlier questions: I read through a couple of threads about the Boss filter, plan to send out an EOA when I change it out, might it might be six months until that happens. Will probably not leave the filter on for 15,000 miles as I change my oil at 5000-8000 miles using...

Appreciate all the constructive comments and suggestions. I went out and bought a Purolator Boss (PBL30001, Fram size is a XG8A). Seems like the Boss was designed to last a long time, but may not filter quite as well (sub-20 micron) as the Fram Ultra.

goodtimes; I'll check out the frantz; do you have any specs for that filter?

Automotive as stated above, not motorcycle.

Not looking for the "best" filter, asked for information from anyone who knows of a filter that could filter out the smallest particles, ie: the lowest micron Absolute rating. Not asking for guesses (read original post), asking for those who actually have used one of these filters. Thank you

I've read about the Trasko, just have no experience with them, would like to find someone who has actually used any of these ultra filtration filters.

Automotive engine.

Sorry if this has been covered before, I don't get on the forum often. I am trying to find an oil filter with the highest Absolute filtration ie: the filter which will pull out the smallest particles. Please guys, I don't want a long discussion about why I wouldn't want to use this filter or...

I was thinking of topping off with the 15W-50 but as I have about 5000 miles on this oil already (I usually go 8-10K), I decided to go back to the 5W-40 TDT Mobil 1 and see what happens. If my oil usage is still sky high then I'll have to maybe get a compression check done. The engine is not...

Got to read the initial post; it went from one quart about every 3000 miles to one quart every 50 miles almost overnight after an oil change and a different lower viscosity oil. There is one other possibility, the PCV system in this engine is known to occasionally suck up too much oil mist...

Guys, don't want this thread to devolve into a food fight, but let's use logic. This engine has used Mobil 1 of one type or another for the last 200,000 miles. The valve cover and oil pan were both off a few years ago and showed ZERO sludge, ZERO. Clean as a whistle. So the next question is...

I'm hoping someone will chime in who has actually used the Mobil 1 0W-40 and could provide feedback on that particular oil ie: have they seen increased consumption also. Thanks

Was interested in whether others have seen increased usage with the OW-40 Mobil 1 compared to some other Mobil 1 oils. I actually have been using the HM 10W-40 as make up oil (2-3 quarts) and the oil consumption has decreased to about one quart every 1000 miles, still about double what it used...

Haven't been on the forum in a long time, please bear with me. I have a 1994 Toyota Landcruiser with the 1FZFE engine. I was using Mobil 1 5W-40 Turbo Diesel Truck engine oil with good results; engine oil analysis were good and consumption was about one quart every 2700-3000 miles. I then...

Ok, an update, changed the oil after first changing the oil filter then flushing with Amsoil engine and transmission cleaner, then drained the oil completely and changed the filter again (also cranked the engine while the filter and drain plug were out to get as much old oil out as possible)...

Ok, changed the oil after first using AMSOIL Engine and Transmission Cleaner with a new filter then drained the oil, changed the filter again, then added 0W-40 Mobil 1 but no extra additives. The crankcase is not overfilled (left it ~1/2 quart low) but I still found the bubbles present on a cold...

Bringing this back; still have the super fine air bubbles so getting ready to change the oil. I've also seen a fine black residue (early on it also had some white flecks in it) on the dipstick that I haven't seen before; this also started immediately after adding the Ceratec. My assumption is...

Forgot to mention; I did change the oil and filter (changed that twice), but the air bubbles remained. I'm also occassionally still seeing a tiny bit of sediment on the dipstick which only started after adding the CERATEC, so my guess is that some of the additive is still circulating in the...
