I have ran Pennzoil, Napa, Havoline, and now Valvoline whatever Synthetic on sale. I am sticking to Valvoline. Normally I run Severe duty which is around 4k which according to the hour meter is about right.

I had State Farm for close to 15 years and loved them then Katrina. I paid bill every month although we were told exempt then when license came due i had a 500.00 bill for no insurance as well as a ticket a fellow got before he made it to dmv. State Farm said they mailed me a refund for van i...

This is what I recommend for RV or cars in storage. 15 9n Amazon.

Since I have had my Van I always followed severe duty which is 4k. I was going to once a year but wanted to know of hours before I pushed it. In last 1000k miles I have 50 hours so I will stay with 4k which is between 6 to 8 months. If I were doing once a year I would change in October due to...

I just moved here to my Dad's old place 2 years ago. Did construction 30 years ago but went to the automotive industry until I retired. Hopefully I will be here for awhile as this is my ten year plan as all done paid in full. Can't afford to hire someone.

Unless she is in a wheelchair and finds out. I am her caregiver so I don't want her mad as I pay dearly for it. (Opps I had an accident and need cleaning) LOL

I am working on remodeling my house on the cheap. I haven't done construction in about 30 years so I was doing hammer, corded drill with a Kolbalt reciprocate saw and Craftsman skill saw. SLOW IS AN UNDERSTAMENT. I got Dewalt 12" trim saw for 99.00 on sale about 6 months ago. Now that I am...

From the 30 years in the field I have seen more sludge than I care to remember. Causes were mostly caused by a defect in emissions systems i.e. egr valve, oxygen sensor, pcv and very rarely from extended oil changes. I had the privilege of going to Texas for Toyota which we dove into the sludge...

Many vehicles use 0w20 which turn higher rpm especially when towing. The difference is so small I can't see much if any difference. I run 5w20 in my pentastar which revs quickly to 6500 rpm.

This reminds me of my Dad's 2001 Silverado. Tailgate fell off so Chevy repainted tailgate which he didn't want cause it was red which we all knows fades quickly. It matched perfectly so he had them agree to repaint if faded different but he wrecked it in rear quarter of bed which needed a...

Van as truck. Drive defensive. Tailgate shuts

I am running Valvoline Advance Maxlife in my Caravan. I have run high mileage for last 10 years in older and newer never a problem.

Glad you are ok StevieC. Vehicles can be replaced.

I changed it at 4k due to lots of idling. Put Valvoline Advance Maxlife 5w20 since I got it on sale. I have since installed the hour meter so I can track hours. On first 200 miles I am at 15 hours. Pennzoil held up as in no new noise or drop in mileage and as a plus oil was still full.

My owners manual states 10k or once a year

Our dealership never replaced anything in pairs. Heck I had an insurance job for a Ford Lightning that I replaced one bent rod from water. I miked the rod bearing for insurance so only thing they paid for was one head gasket, one rod, intake gasket with oil pan gasket. Customer paid for oil...

Valvoline Advance Synthetic with Maxlife would be a good idea. Nothing wrong with high mileage oils. I am running this in the Caravan with 19k. High Mileage oil meets the specs for your engine so problem with that. Valvoline even states that you can use it from new with no effects and...

All I can say is 20k trouble free miles out of mine. I am now watching the hours to see oil change interval as mine is idled alot. Valvoline Advance Synthetic with Maxlife. Been averaging 4k severe duty changes.

https://www.pentastars.com/engines/PUG.php This would answer your question. If I remember correctly it also reduced amount of oil from 6qts down to 5qts. I know this true for the Pacifica

I am running Valvoline Advance Synthetic with Maxlife which I have 19k at this time. High Mileage oil specs are the same as non high mileage oil (SP) so no damages.
