    Back down this road again: 0w-20 Civic 2.0 NA highway commuter car

    So I have a port injected 2.0 civic that is a commuter but literally 95% highway. Im currently running OEM filter and M1 EP 0w-20 oil. The OLM always says I have tons of life left with the oil, for instance currently Im at 70% lift and 4750 miles driven. Seems crazy, I guess the car is saying...

    Ford EcoBoost 2.0 - What off the shelf oil for "longer" OCIs?

    So my wifes old Edge will be given to my mom to use. The Edge takes 5w30. I dont know what OCI she's used in the past for her other car but as we know EcoBoost engines dilute the oil with fuel. What oil could be ran that still in spec ( for warranty purpose, still has ford ext. warranty ) that...

    Toyota Hybrid 2.5l oil options? Anything new?

    Im already seeing a glimpse of the replies lol but just wondering if there is anything worth noting on an oil choice for my wife's upcoming Grand Highlander and future oil changes. Ive done a bunch of reading on here, some threads end up locked with misinformation etc. Im guessing any off of...

    Is there a minimum fuel requirement when using Redline S-1 or other additives?

    I’m trying to time this OCI with some Redline added to the fuel ( looking to change it next weekend and have my fuel close to empty ) But I was wondering if there is a minimum amount of fuel that needs to be in the tank. Redline says zip to 20g, the Civic has a 12g tank. Would if it okay to...

    Which 7317 Fram ( or other sized filter ) for a 2.0 Honda commuter?

    When I got this commuter 2.0 civic last year ( I bought it new in 2024, I drive about 15k a year all highway ), I was going to use only OEM Honda filters. Today I decided that Im not... My local dealer sells them expensive and Id rather not get a fake one off line, thus my decision to get a Fram...

    ‘24 civic 2.0 NA motor 0w20 oil - Went from M1 AFE to EP…. Mpg went down?

    So I went from M1 Advance Fuel Economy oil to Extended Performance in the same weight and I cannot hit the same MPG I was getting under the AFE oil. I literally drive this car to work and back, same route etc. I was religiously getting 39.5 going to work and 41 coming home. I’m guessing because...

    2.0 Civic: Extended Protection oils in 0W-20

    Ive already posted a thread on my civic a while back, but running the car now for about 6 months got me thinking. I plan on using the OLM on the car and changing it around 15%. Ive driven the car 6500mi so far and the OLM states 50% left. ( I changed the FF at 2000mi ) Seeing as the car may get...

    Kirkland Synthetic vs. Valvoline Advanced Synthetic - 5w30 - Ford EB 2.0

    Without getting deep into it, I plan on running KS oil in my wife’s car but noticed that Valvoline has their garage box oil 20% off. KS oil was 31$ for 10qts, Valvoline 12qts is 47$. Her car is a 2015 ford edge 2.0EB and the motor is brand new, replaced under warranty under the Service...

    Suggestions for tires: 2015 Ford Edge AWD - 245/50R20

    Looking for tires for my wife’s car. I don’t know if I want to do Costco again or not. But looking for suggestions on tires, since some of you guys know tires better than the average joe. We only get snow maybe 3 months out of the year and then its not that often when we do. She's just grocery...

    2015 Ford Edge EcoBoost 2.0 - Does kirkland oil meet the spec?

    I guess you never really look into oil like you do when the car is under warranty... smh. So long story short, we have the ESP care/warranty on her Edge still and the long block engine was also replaced under the SB for the headgasket last month. So with that being said, Im thinking about just...

    Does anyone low dose Redline SI-1 for maintenance?

    Has anyone seen any REAL worth in low dosing Redline as a maintenance product to ward off deposits etc? Or would it be best used as a cleaner pre OCI and then just rely on top tier fuel to maintain?

    Honda 15400-PLM-A02: Japanese versus USA filters - Differences?

    It looks like some dealers on ebay ( what seem to be real authetnic dealers at first glance... ) are selling the Japanese filters along with the USA ones we know ( i.e. sold at WM etc ). Is there any benefit to the JDM ones versus the USA ones? Do the JDM filters have the same measly filtration...

    Ford 6.7 - Should I change out the oil due to age only?

    So I have a low mileage 6.7 that doesnt get driven much so the yearly usage is low. I drive it at least once a week and it gets up to operating temp and not short tripped. No long idles at all, maybe 1-2 mins depending on the temperature outside... possibly up to 5mins MAX. I like to change the...

    Oil for a known fuel diluter - 5w30 Ford 2.0 ecoboost

    My wife’s engine seems to now be adding fuel to the oil. Not sure if it’s the age/mileage on it or what. It has maybe 80k on it and is driven mostly highway. But the last drain smelled like fuel somewhat, so I’m guessing it’s getting in there. It’s a DI engine but never really noticed this...

    Powerstroke 6.7: Following the OLM for OCIs, is this taboo?

    I don’t drive my truck but the weekends, so it’s low mileage since I’ve owned it. I’ve always followed the OLM as per the owners manual, is this incorrect? I’m having second guesses as it seems like a lot longer than most recommend. But I’m doing as the manuals states so I’m kinda lost at what...

    So what’s considered top tier now?

    I always thought the typical guys were top tier. Looks like BP doesn’t carry the title but exceeds. Is there a current list with a date showing that’s top tier now? My civic calls for regular and I’ve been using shell, but should I be using something else? For what it’s worth I don’t see top...

    2024 Civic w/NA 2.0 - Honda recommends 0w-20 - Suggestions and thoughts?

    So this is going to be my next commuter until I retire at around 12 years/175kmi of usage. The motor is the naturally aspirated 2.0 K20C2 variant. I planned on running the oil out until the Maintance Minder tells me to do a change out, but seems most say 7500mi max per OCI. Here are my...

    Oil conundrum... To mix or not...

    So I couldn't have thought of a better place to ask this lol. Long story short my wifes Edge takes 5.75qts. This oil change, I had a qt left over from the last in the jug, or so I thought... I threw the new full 5qt jug in and went to throw the remaining .75qt fromt the other jug( from the...

    So what's the "go-to" PEA based fuel additive? Indirect and direct injection engines...

    I know techron and redline were the go-to's backing the day with Gumout lately coming back into the picture. I was wondering what is the one to get or look at now days? My wife has a 2015 Ford edge with a direct injection engine. I noticed the idle felt a bit, rougher? No issues to note and the...

    Storing motor oil, how long should it last?

    Sorry for the redundant thread but if buying oil and wanting to use it within say 6 months or so, how long should it really last? Id guess upon using it, I should give it a good shake or is that even really needed? We're at the point where we need to buy oil when we see it, not when we need...
