OVERKILL, "Two UOA's isn't a trend." I agree...I chose to only copy/paste one post from a 38-page thread where posters have continuously posted UOAs and coming to an almost unified conclusion that M1 doesn't work well with the DI 3.6 engines. I'm no expert, but I'm leaning towards 5+ years of...

Here's another thread on this forum about M1 in the 3.6v DI engines. LINK: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1912013&page=1 I think I'll stick with the M1 in my Mazda (based on good UOAs) and go with the Penz Ultra Plat in the Enclave for sure. Thanks for...

Can't edit above...ugh...UOA, not UAO. typo.

Originally Posted By: fredfactory As for Mobil1 oil, they have never distinguished themselves on User Oil Analyses as far as I can tell. I admire the company, their involvement in racing, their R&D. Their M1 0w-40 product is likely very good though, meeting LL-01 and MB229.5 etc. 6 quarts in my...

Also, it takes about 5.5 quarts, right?

Originally Posted By: Dave Sherman Being a 2011 it might be calling for Dexos approved oil, which Mobil 1 meets. My 2010 didn't spell it out, but I think it was just before Dexos was official. Yes, it spells out Dexos in the owner's manual. I've read some places that M1 isn't good for GM...

That's kinda what I thought. Oh and I meant to say, "I'm sure the stealership put in standard oil when they brought the vehicle in and I'm going to swap it out soon." NOT, "didn't."

Bought a used 2011 Buick Enclave with 57K. According to the maintenance records left in the glove box, the previous owner used Mobil 1 synthetic. I'm sure the stealership didn't put in standard oil when they brought the vehicle in and I'm going to swap it out soon. I've always used Mobil1 in my...

Talked to a service tech at my dealership and he ran the VIN...said my radiator should be fine as the "issue" is in regards to the 1st batch of Pathfinders that came off the line in 2004. He said he owns the same one I do and has 147K on it with no issue. He also said in many of the cases...

I am continuing to prepare my '05 Mazda Tribute i (4cyl) for its journey to 200k. Today's question is to flush or not to flush the tranny. The engine has 100K miles and the tranny has 89K as it was replaced at 11K. I pulled the stick last night and it’s a little darker than my '05 Pathfinder...
