On a 5w20 oem recommendation Honda Civic, for the first 10,000 miles I ran the oem fill as per owners manual, web site and technical data. Ever since I have been 0w20 Mobil One. It runs like the proverbial top!! (going on 30,000 miles)!!

Actually I was just glad, when I read ExxonMobil is bringing back Mobil One 0w20. I think part of the problem is they already have a 0w20/5w20 that meets the Ford/Honda specifications. Either product is EXCELLENT. While the EP product is excellent for those vehicles that can run it, having...

I deduce from your post that the batch of green GC is other than 5w20. Since it is a Honda engine in a Saturn Vue, you might want to check your owner's manual, tech data and/or web sites and I am almost positive 5w20 is the oil recommendation. If so, you can not go wrong with Havoline 5w20...

I'd stick with the Mobil 1 5w30. I used to buy 10w30 on sale if 5w30 was not available. I did notice app .5 to almost 1 mpg difference. So I have long since stopped buying 10w30 although it is perfectly fine, sans the fuel mileage difference. This might be on/off topic, but I ran the oem...

Yes, almost all the bypass oil filters that I have researched require putting more oil into the now "enlarged" oil system. So for example if my TDI motor took 4.75 quarts dry sump, the addition of bypass oil system ie OilGuard (http://oilguard.com/price_info.php), would have me adding INXS of...

If there is a premium over some other car waxes save your money. Even Dupont (oem of teflon) says you can only make Teflon adhere under high heat bonding procedures!! Your question makes we wonder (out loud) why we don't have teflon body parts (like teflon fry pans) or powder coated body parts.

What vehicle? For example on my 2004 Honda Civic with OEM recommendation of 10k OCI's normal with conventional oil (made by EM as a stardard) 5k oil analysis intervals is almost total overkill from a cost standpoint. Seems you really want to know if the oil is still good at 15,000 to the 20,000...

What in your estimation is the reason why one is "fuel diluted" (0w30 actual) vs "normal" when marked as 5w40.??

This is a very good question with applications and information to this august center of information and truth in lubrication. Amsoil will tell you a mileage with the caveat of a year. If you dig around deep enough I think Mobil One will also say a year. To tell you the truth, I do not think I...

The tack I have taken is to establish a very high base line and only do the detailing it takes to maintain it. One of the best detailing tools is a 4 sided closed and insulated garage I can sometimes go 1-4 months without washing with every day use. I use the California duster when it is...
