This! More detergents/dispersents. At least that's what AMSoil says about their hybrids oils. However, i have customers here with hybrids with over 800k km that ran with regular 0w20 Synthetic oils and are just fine.. Personally however, i'll never go over 8k km without changing oils in my...

I meant to check if there was a lot of teeths exposed. At 300k miles, i kind of expect it..

My 2012 Si is notorious for tightening exhaust valves and loosing intakes ones.. haven't tought about checking the tensioner though.. might try and do that while the front bumper is off.

Oh! Needs a Camshaft, perhaps Rockers too and an adjustment! That cam is definitely done!

Likely your valves clearances needs to be a adjusted!

2012 Si with a 300k miles K24 here.. might "perhaps" burn a cup of oil per OCI.. always followed Maintenance Minder until now with Redlune HP, AMSoil SS and more recently PUP. Now, i change it every spring but i put more or less 1000 miles per summer on it so... However, i have a coworker with...

Must be that one.

Don't know if it applies but i've changed the Civic's transmission oil today while it sleeps for the winter.. 2012 Civic Si. Almost 300k miles. Out: Honda MTF, unknown milleage on oil as i don't quite remember when i changed it the last time and it's a summer car now that, maybe runs 1500...

I use Pup in my 300k miles Civic Si since the last 100k. Runs great.. doesn't burn oil at all..

Well my own Prime does show fuel dilution, both visually and olfactory, if i don't use Charge mode (until proven otherwise next oil change anyway..). Look at that.. With Charge mode on 2 or 3 days a week (0w20 Redline HP oil used) And that was without Charge mode at all... (sarcasm/on)..this...

I would be inclined to think that if they can get 0.5% better fuel economy in a Prius with 0w8 without causing problems, they would be all over it. Remember CAFE means Corporate AVERAGE Fuel Economy. ;)

You won't have to convince me. I think the same. I was telling ZeeO6 that i would buy a nice used Civic to experiment on if i had loads of cash. But honestly, if you tell the dude "Don't do that!! 0w5 is going to harm the engine!" do you think he will listen? Nah..! Might as well hop in for the...

Well i think the hybrids are actually harder on their oils. Most hybrids are dealing with a ton of start stop cycles, gas and water dilution due to oil not reaching it's operating temperature, etc.. As a fact, the Priuses were the first car that i owned that were shown to absolutely destroy...

Will do right now! Sounds like fun!

True. The fact is how do you test it? If i test both 0w8 and 5w30 with the same additives in an old Chrysler Neon engine, the 5w30 is almost guaranteed to give better results. It's an old school engine that specced 5w30 or perhaps even 10w30. If you test both those oils in a brand new Corolla...

Not necessary for Joe Bean down the road commuting to work in his Malibu. But we're enthusiasts, so we're ok with paying more then oil made to be okay-ish while also meeting a price target.

He meant that the oil grade, or more specifically a thin motor oil, would not cause wear if it's formulated to go there. Or simply said, stop thinking motors will magically start to blow up because a thin oil is used..

2024 Prius Prime. 38k km. Out:Redline 0w20 and Fram Ultra. In:TGMO 0w16 and Fram Ultra.

It's an RBC intake manifold that i once planned to install onto my K24. Semi abandonned that plan now that the car is nearing 500k km and perhaps only runs 1000km per summer. The piston to the left is from a 2.4l Toyota Sludge Monster and the piston and rod are from a 3.5l direct injected 2016...

Some sort of results are actually in! Well compare that with the Redline. With the use of Recharge mode 2 or 3 times a week for my 60km morning commute to work. (..forgot about that one. Wasn't doing it earlier..) ...and compare that to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and TGMO 0w16 (was looking the...
