good deal for a great oil!

put gas in it and charge the customer, or tell the customer to put gas in it and bring it back.

Is Mobil 1 0-30 ESP, LSPI friendly for these Direct Injection engines?

I think listening for a rod knock would be better than checking for a PO016?

Inspection checks for PO016, crankshaft and camshaft should be rotating in sync, but the P0016 code suggests they are out of sync. I thought the issue was a rod bearing problem?

Wow, shocked to see that move by GM. Maybe I should step up to a 0w or 5w-30 in my L83 of the ‘16 Suburban, you know, just to be on the side of caution for the sake of longevity. 0w-40 may be more than needed for my vehicle usage. Actually I may use HPL PPPCMO or NoVII 5w-30 in all. One oil to...

maybe their equipment has direct injected fuel systems

I will shorten to 3 years. Thanks for the suggestion.

every 3-5 years for me with Valvoline DOT3/4

I am running HPL 75w-90 diff life in both holes of CX-5 in sig. since June, all is well.

sorry, yes Dexron III.

These T56 transmission call for Dexron 3 or 4. Even when new they clash gears in the cold. This transmission does not like the cold. The whole car (2003 Z06) I have does not like the cold at all. The suspensions squeaks, the interior creeks and rattles, the tires (summer tires) don't grip and...

I look at it as, “It beats the alternative”.

LESS RUST on the 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4

So basically it requires expensive ingredients the average person won’t pay, especially for something they don’t necessarily need.

I think the demand is low, especially for many areas, and for a 0w-30 more VII are needed as well as more expensive VII are needed for a long drain interval oil. I believe off the shelf choice brands are more interested in the mainstream consumer and profits.

occasional run the 8a size on the’97 Ram in place of the xg16 size various brands over the years. I miss the Bosch Distance Plus, got a bunch on closeout from Walmart years ago. The truck seemed to like them best. No startup rattle or noise, filters were well constructed and always seemed to...

Once my 97 Ram goes to the boneyard due to rust, the 4Runner will become my main driver. Still probably never wear it out.

I wonder if this long (time) run contributed to possibly copper corrosion?

yep, 3600 miles to 5600 miles for this report. I planned on a 2 year run, but life got busy. So it turned out to be a 2.5 run.
