In use for approximately 3,000 miles in my '98 Camaro Z28 with the 5.7 LS1 V8, and sat on the vehicle while in winter storage and run a few times before changing it again in the spring (about 9 months total) Looks fine aside from the wonky pleat spacing near the seam. ADBV was still pliable...

2007 Buick Lucerne CXL (3800 Series 3) 46,007 original miles Approx 5k (10 months) on OCI Out: Unknown 5W-30/AC Delco PF47E In: Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W-30/Fram PH3387A (with new silicone adbv)

The K24 is a great engine. I've used 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 in mine with no discernible difference. Your 09 should've been specced for 5W-20, not 5W-30. My '07 was specced for 5W-20 from the factory. I'd use either 0W-20 or 5W-20 in your 2011. Use the same in both to make things easier for you...

That's awesome! Hopefully my LS1 Camaro can last that long. They feel so cheaply made though that I feel like the rest of the car will fall apart before the drivetrain does. I've already had problems with the window motor, cd player, door handle, power locks, suspension (bushings, etc.)...

Going by memory of years-old knowledge, I believe if you own the trailer, it needs to be added as an endorsement to your auto policy for that specific vehicle. If you borrow a trailer, it doesn't need to be specifically endorsed. Please double-check with your agent first as I could be...

I've used 10+ year old oil a few times and never had an issue. The oil still looked fine, nothing like that photo above. I have a few cases of old Q Torque Power with the clear bottles and they look good as new. No separation or other issues at all. The dates on the back of them are from 2006.

2005 Toyota Sienna 181,xxx on odometer Unknown amount of time/miles on OCI Out: Unknown oil, Fram Core 3614 In: Supertech 5w-20 Conventional, Supertech ST3614

Denso First Time Fit filters on Rock Auto are inexpensive, well made and have a silicone adbv.

I've had a Wix come from the factory with a small dent on the dome of the filter that was not from the packaging or shipment. I tried contacting them and they just told me not to use it, instead of offering to replace it. That said, I haven't had a defective Fram as of yet.

I have a similar amount, along with around 20-30 filters.

2007 Honda Accord 2.4 619,636 miles 30% on OLM, 4,661 miles on OCI in almost 4 months. Out: Chevron Supreme 10w30 and a few quarts of Milesyn Blend 5w30 as top off. In: Supertech 5w20, Purolator PureOne PL14610

My Accord burns about a quart every thousand. It's extremely consistent and the brand/weight seems to make no difference at all. I've tried conventional, synthetic blend, synthetic, 5w20, 5w30 and 10w30 with no difference. I assume it's due to the oil control rings and as such, the weight really...

They're basically new. I bought a bunch of those on Rock Auto and am currently using one on my Camaro in my signature. They are just the jobber version of the Ultra.

Try finding a 92-96 Camry. Great cars, almost indestructible. Not easy to find in rust belt states anymore, though. An '02-'04 Civic is another great choice, as well as an 03-07 Accord (4 cylinder).

I've dealt with some insanely tight filters before, but nothing that a proper socket attachment or oil filter pliers couldn't eventually handle. I remember one of the worst ones I dealt with I had to completely crush the can with the pliers to eventually get it to turn without just taking the...

I've been using these on my cousin's Mustang GT because I always thought they weren't as prone to tearing as the regular Classics or Pure Ones. I guess I'll be finding something else to use next time. I have one in the garage that has only about 3,000 miles on it that I'll try to remember to cut...

A fun side note, when I sold my 1995 Integra it had 217k miles on it. It had a lot of cosmetic flaws/rust/etc. and I didn't sell it for much. I eventually saw the car for sale again on Craigslist, but it magically now had 150k on it. I started asking questions about it and its miles and VIN...

2001 Toyota Celica GT - 130k on vehicle Out: Castrol Syntec Blend 5w-30 (old SM rated), Fram Ultra XG4967 In: 2 qts old Castrol Edge, 2 qts old Castrol Edge Syntec and .5 qts Castrol Syntec Blend, Fram Tough Guard TG4386 (trying oversized filter). Using up a bunch of old API SM oil I've had...

2005 Mustang GT 135,781 miles Just under 3k on OCI changed per owner's request even though I mentioned a number of times it could easily go longer. About 9 months in service, though it was stored for the winter. Out: QSUD 5w-20/Motorcraft FL820S In: Mobil 1 HM 5w-20 and 1 qt of old Q Torque...

Honda K24 engines have been known to consume some oil due to the rings. Mine burns about a quart every 1k, but mine has over 10 times more miles than yours. My friend has another 07 with the K24 and his burns about a quart every 3k or so, if I remember right.
