Since I do quite a bit of short tripping, and will also at times go from short trips to towing/heavier usage, I figured it best to try to keep viscosity up as best I can on a 5k change. I ended up getting Mobil 1 FS Euro 0w40 at my local Advance...

Makes sense 100% I just wanted to be sure I was getting what I actually thought I was getting. not some "fake" or whatever or different sku with a very similar container to what has been talked about extensively on here. I've become weary sometimes of "parts store" things in the same way as...

Just went to Advance and they have Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 for $37 with a free filter, any brand. More expensive than Wally but still a good deal with a filter I think. What I noticed was that the 0w30 has no api certification on it. The esp 0w20 and 0w40 both are API SN but that’s not the case on...

The 2.7 in the bronco does spec 5w30 and afaik all the ford Ecoboost engines spec 5w30 but i'm not 100% certain of that, only 99% certain. 0w30 is also in the manual for low temps, I think below -10f

I agree with you. i'm also not worrying about losing 1% fuel mileage if I get some greater percentage of better wear protection, especially at 250+ oil temps which i'm finding this engine can regularly get to. Speaking to your short trips, i've noticed that oil temp does come up quite quick...

I think it really just depends on the use case and the engine. I ran AMSOIL Signature Series in my 2016 Tundra with the 5.7. I sent it to blackstone for used oil analysis after 13k miles, and I think it had 2.0 TBN left. BS said I could go another 2k next change and see what it looks like, but...

This was 15 years ago, and it Motul 5100 and also Motul 300V in a racing 450 atv. High rpms, high compression, etc, not an automotive application. Extremely high heat. we had a 6 hour atv race that we did in Georgia, we used 2 riders on the same bike. The quad got it's radiator pluged...

In the case that my local walmart/auto parts store does not carry Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 or 0W40, or Castrol, or really any of those Euro oils, should I shop for the same oils online, or are there any other brands that I should look at? Schaffers? Motul? Amsoil? HPL? Redline? I normally buy a case...

I'm completely open to using a 0W40 instead of the oem spec 5W30.

Hi everyone, first post, i’ll introduce myself a bit and make a little more of a post besides just the (whats the best oil) normal questions that come up. I’ve worked on, built engines, and motorcycles and atv’s. I consider myself fairly well learned when it comes to engines, what makes them...
