    Synthetic or Dino HDEO in my 285k car?

    Originally Posted By: kschachn They will all flow the same as long as they can be pumped I don´t know if my guess is right, but wouldn´t a more thicker oil increase oil pressure? And extra oil pressure wouldn´t go to the relief valve of the oil pump, reducing oil flow? Originally Posted By...

    Originally Posted By: Nick1994 I'd just use the 5w40 synthetic and keep topping it off. There isn't any magic elixir of an oil that's going to stop oil consumption. I'd also stretch the oil change interval out to at LEAST 10k miles. Would yo do 10k OCI with high sulphur fuel (600 ppm) and no...

    Synthetic or Dino HDEO in my 285k car?

    I have a 01 Corolla (with an 7AFE engine not the 1ZZFE) with 285k miles. It´s burning 1 qt of oil every 1300 miles which is acceptable for me. I can get a Synthetic 5w40 Oil almost at the same price of the Dino HDEO 15w40 oil that I´m currently using, the HDEO is API SL rated and I can get two...

    Vented Oil Catch Can

    Yes, and I have also read that vacuum in the crankcase helps to improve the rings seal

    Vented Oil Catch Can

    Does a PCV delete and Vented Oil Catch Can setup worsens or improves the life of the Oil? Is the vacuum of the Intake Manifold needed for proper extraction of the condensation and contaminats of the oil? Are there any UOA results that shows improvements with a vented Oil Catch can?

    Should I extend my oil change intervals?

    I just realized that my calculations of oil consumption were wrong, the engine is consuming 0.75 QTS of oil every 1k miles. That makes me so happy because it means that oil consumption hasn't increased for switching from 20w50 to 15w40. I'm gonna keep doing 3k OCI because to replace the entire...

    Thinner Oil provides better Oil Seal

    I recently calculated my oil consumption with excel and realized that my previous calculations were wrong, my engine is only burning a 1 qt every 1300 miles (0.75 qts every 1k miles). This means that the oil consumption is the same that with the 20w50 I used to use, so I'm gonna keep using HDEO...

    Originally Posted By: d00df00d If regularly adding oil "COMPLETELY negate[d] any effect of the old oil," I'd expect TBN to be a whole heck of a lot higher than 2.8.
