That’s exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!

I was doing a BG EPR flush every 10k-20k miles to keep the low tension rings clean but recently switched to HPL. My question: is the ester in HPL enough that a solvent oil flush is not needed anymore? Or is still a good idea on occasion?

Not sure why it says 3,500 as it was actually about 4,000 miles. I also had a 12k mi run on that oil filter

I run 0w40 Euro in my 5.7L Hemi

Curious why switch from Super Car to Euro?

I use Mobil 1 0w40 in my 5.7L Hemi

I also have the Hyundai/Kia 3.8L V6 and used Valvoline 5w30 XL-III for 50k. I recently switched to HPL Euro 0w30 for its cleaning ability. I’m also concerned about this engine long term as it’s common for the rings to go and oil consumption to become prevalent in the 75k+ range.

I utilize start/stop on my DI engine and my report showed <1% fuel dilution after about 4,000 miles

I run Mobil 1 0w40 in my 5.7L Hemi

Here you go..

Yes, the Ram definitely does. Towing at a constant speed on the highway the Hemi's oil temp will stay in the 230-240F range. When climbing a grade, it'll hit 260F+

It’s definitely an issue that will become more prevalent as the Telluride platform ages and more people get higher mileage on them

6.4L Hemi says 0w40 on the cap

Sienna: 6.5 qts Jeep: 6.0 qts Ram: 7.0 qts Kia: 7.0 qts

I haven’t come across anything with how to prevent failure other try to keep regular oil changes

Kia has low oil standards but they’re also not known for being reliable with a history of oil consumption issues

I see a couple recommendations for Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 which looks the same as the Valvoline XL-III 5w30 I’ve been using on the Kia. Any reason to switch given they have the same manufacturer approvals?

I actually bought a 6 gallon box of the Euro LX 0w30 to try but then saw it was only SN. So went with Mobil 1 0w40 instead for SP
