    New Hemi owner, new oil decisions

    I purchased a new 2020 vehicle with the 5.7 Hemi. I drive around 2500 miles per month so 10k miles in 4 months or so. I read the owners manual and it appears you're allowed to go 10k OCI on these providing its within a years time. Anyone who has a newer Hemi do 7500 - 10000 mile OCI and have...

    Viscosity recommendation for 200k miles?

    Hello, Bought a truck with 200k miles and was wondering your thoughts on viscosity. It apparently has run duno 5w-30 it's whole life with pretty much 3,000 - 4,000 mile OCI. I haven't pulled a valve cover or anything like that as there is zero leaks or wetness (don't plan to right now) however...

    PP D1G2 vs QSUD D1G2 viscosity differences..

    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthr...1G2#Post4573299 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthr...Dur#Post4546402 Noticed the new formulations have quite different viscosity at 100C - any thoughts as to why that would be? In the past everyone figured that they must be so similar, even...

    M1 0w-20 AFE is D1G2, what about 0w-30?

    Anyone notice that 0w-30 doesn't appear to have D1G2 yet? Anyone seen any in the wild? I have had the 0w-20 AFE D1G2 in my wife's Accord for over a month..

    Dexos1 requirements and 10w-30

    What properties would keep M1 10w-30 for instance from meeting Dexos 1? I assume it would strictly be viscosity at cold/hot? 10W-30's usually have a lot lower NOACK than 5w-30's for instance so curious on this cert in particular.. thanks

    Opinions on this mix/blend?

    I'm trying to come up with a middleish weight 30 weight and have a 5qt jug of M1 0w-40 FS (GTL version). I'm thinking about buying 3 quarts of PPPP 0w-20 (GTL version D1G1 which is high calcium no mag like M1). 3 quarts of each making a 6 qt blend, what's your thoughts? Both are GTL, both have...

    Mobil 1 0w-40 new formula

    I believe I read on here a week or so ago that there is a new 0w-40 formula coming out, does anyone have any more information on this? I think it may be lower calcium and have the addition of magnesium. Thanks

    Why is NOACK/volatility loss a big secret?

    Why do some oil companies publish their numbers and some don't? It really does seem like it's a big secret, what am I missing here?

    Opinions on going 21k miles on a Fram Ultra

    In a clean engine, what's your opinions on squeezing three 7k OCI's out of a Fram Ultra? Vehicle has had very regular oil changes and mostly synthetic it's whole life. It will be getting M1 for a while now since I picked a bunch up on sale. Toyota V6 2GR-FE so canister type filter XG9972 I...

    What's the reason Valvoline uses sodium?

    I don't notice many oils using sodium, is it for cost reasons that Valvoline uses it? I was looking over some UOA's from different labs and some actually classify sodium as a contaminant..

    Thoughts on engine quietness and idle gear moving?

    Background - Purchased a 2010 Toyota Rav4 V6 (2GR-FE) back in February, now has 100,000 miles on it. I've been using a home brew 30 weight oil combination since then and probably done 3 or 4 oil changes. It has has gotten half PUP 5w-20 and half M1 0w-40. This vehicle calls for 5w-30 SL as it...
