The 2016 Titan manual on page 10-2 recommends 0w-20, with 5w-30 conventional being a suitable alternative. The manual says on page 10-8 that the oil just needs to have an API starburst; no fancy 20 character garbally goop oil specification. I would just buy a box of standard conventional 5w-30...

Even with their shipping costs, the full synthetic seems like a fair price at $3.07/qt shipped to my zip code. We run full synthetic in both of our gas pickups on the farm. It takes 3 gallons of oil total to do an engine oil change on both. One of these boxes would last a year, at most.

As long as the alphabet soup oil standard in the manual matches what's on the oil's product data sheet or label, it's fine. You're probably overthinking all of this. An alternative solution would be to have a Ford dealer perform all routine oil changes until all warranties have expired.

Brakes are one of the more straight forward vehicle repairs, especially if they are disc brakes. If you're comfortable and either have or can borrow the tools, you can potentially save yourself quite a bit of money by replacing them yourself. I'm sure someone has a tutorial on YouTube for your...

Engine manufacturing has come a long way since the 70's. Unless the owner's manual call for break-in intervals, I wouldn't worry about it. But it's your money, and you should do whatever makes you sleep better at night.

Originally Posted by BlueOvalFitter My local WM is in the process of being updated to a Super WM. It's about 60% complete. But, it still looks like they're testing missiles in there. Last week, or the week before, I found the PRO DS stocked at the very top shelf above M1. Now, who's going to...

Originally Posted by Puckrobber If this 6 qt. box is a hit for Havoline, and I expect it to be, I imagine Walmart will notice and start making their own Supertech 6 qt. boxes. They seem to jump on a good thing right away. Unless Warren and Wal-Mart's other blenders for Supertech have bag in...

My Wal-Mart's in a smaller market, so I have never really seen these out of stock. It's a great deal on motor oil.

If you don't mind motor oil in a cardboard box, Havoline's 6qt smart change boxes sold through Walmart beat Supertech on price per quart. If you can meet a $35 floor, Walmart will deliver it to your doorstep for free.

The Wal-Mart mobile app says that they now have Pro DS 5W-30 in stock locally at my closet store, but it's still not listed on the website. I might swing by there and buy a couple if they actually do have some in stock. It's only available for in store pickup right now.

The oil will come in their new Smart Change packaging which is a cardboard shell with the oil in a plastic Bag In the Box (BIB) bladder. It's a name brand oil that's currently at a lower price point per quart than SuperTech. I would definitely run it if they have the viscosity that your owner's...

Wal-Mart lists UPC's on their MSDS lookup page. Because I have nothing better to do, I Googled a block of similar UPC codes to what's already available and one did return back to a Pro DS 5W-30 on Google, but not Walmart. So, that viscosity is probably forthcoming. 076568790356 076568790387 -...

Maybe the conventional and high mileage products were an initial market test, and they are just now starting to distribute the full synthetic lines.

Originally Posted By: Canadastang I wanna see someone do a c&p on that! lol Looks sketchy - and a nice way to make an oil change cost $3-400 probably. What about the oil in the sump? That cell probably only holds a gallon at most. Oh well, most engines with a half-assed oil change would last...

Here is a BP promo video for the system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWlPyM1gzQ4 These oil cells strike me as printer cartridges for engines. If these things catch on, there's plenty of money to be made for the dealer, auto maker and lubrication vendor by having an engine rely on expensive...
