On 10-21-20: 2005 Ford Mustang GT - 141,260 miles In: Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic 5W-20 + 1 quart of Napa Synthetic 5W-30, Purolator One PL24651 Out: Mobil 1 High Mileage 5W-20 (I can't remember for sure), Purolator PureONE PL24651 (old yellow can) Approx 1 year on OCI with roughly 4k on it.

I usually use one of these. I have one in small and one in large. I very rarely meet a filter it can't handle. I believe they were made by Lisle.

Not the OP, but thanks for posting this. I'm going to look into it for my oil burning Accord since it burns a quart every 1k since I got it.

I miss 90s Nissan quality.

Yep, I've already replaced the PCV valve. I've tried just about every oil in it with no change, including MaxLife syn, Pennzoil Platinum HM, Pennzoil Ultra, etc. I've also tried 20 and 30 grades with no discernable difference. Fairly confident it is just the rings. Had the same issue with my old...

Those engines are very easy on oil. I maintain one with well over 200k on it and I change it every 5-8k depending on when the vehicle is available to me. Burns about 1 quart in that time, roughly. I usually use more inexpensive oils like Supertech Syn or Mobil Super.

My Accord does something similar. It burns a quart every 1k and it gets dark very quickly. I assume there is some blowby and oil control ring issues causing the burning. Given the mileage of my engine, it does not really concern me. I change the oil per the OLM and just top off as needed. I've...

The only problems I had when I bought it as an ex-rental car and a questionable service history was a leaking valve cover gasket (cheap fix) and the alternator needed to be rebuilt after I accidentally left the lights on multiple times, draining the battery. The latter being mostly my fault, but...

210k isn't really "very high mileage" to me :) Is it consuming or leaking any oil? Any other reasons why you feel a need to switch?

I loved my 98 Altima. I regret selling the car, but at least I enjoyed what I replaced it with. Such a solid car that hardly ever gave me a problem.

I have a massive stash of oil, pretty much only purchased on sale, rebated or clearance. I maintain a lot of vehicles and go through quite a bit of it. I routinely use stuff that is 5-10 years old without issue.

I still use oil over 10 years old sometimes... :)

I've enjoyed seeing your updates throughout the years. Incredible how clean your engine bay looks. A lot of that black paint would chip off my B18B1 in my 1995 Integra at 1/3 the miles. I could never keep it clean, especially with our winters. You may pass my Accord soon since I do not drive it...

I've used just about every filter out there for my Honda/Acura vehicles I've owned and serviced throughout the years. I suspect I had an issue with a faulty ADBV in an Amsoil over 10 years ago (engine clattering for a few seconds and the oil pressure light would stay on longer on cold startups)...

Looks good. I'm using my Fram Ultra (Pro Synthetic) in my Camaro for 2 OCIs/2 years as well. I've run them for multiple OCIs in the past on the Accord and they've always held up very well.

2005 Toyota Sienna (3.3 V6) - 198,339 miles Out: Supertech Synthetic High Mileage 5W-30/Champion COS3614 (going by memory) In: Mobil Super High Mileage 10W-30/Fram Extra Guard PH3614 6,474 miles on OCI in about 5 months.

2007 Buick Lucerne CXL 53xxx miles, a little over 6k on OCI put on in 10 months. Out: Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W-30/Fram PH3387A In: Valvoline MaxLife Syn. Blend 5W-30/Champion 41040T

I had to reset my password and it kept telling me my old login name was invalid. Once I got that sorted out and reset my password, it's working. Not a big fan of the new look but maybe I'll get used to it. I liked the old one I've been accustomed to for over 10 years.

2007 Accord EX-L 627,397 miles 40% on OLM. Going on vacation soon and I wanted to change it before the trip. 4,347 miles. Just under 8 months. Out: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-20/Wix 51356 (new old stock filter) In: Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic 5W-20/Mobil 1 M1-110 (new old stock filter) Also...

I've used a few offbrand (EP Auto) cabin air and regular air filters in my Accord and in other vehicles and the fit/finish is excellent. I've also used a few Pronto and other weird brands and a lot of times it's just the same filter in a different package.
