Sold it when I got a Tesla

a notch below actually Literally I think. 51psi is the max pressure iirc and I run 50 lol

ya I emailed Blackstone and they were saying its nothing to worry about at all. They also said they dont really see a benefit or difference to someone switching filters halfway through either. So I might just run a Fram Ultra all the way through next time. Maybe use my remaining Ultraguards...

Ya...given a couple comments in this thread, seeing most people/the dealer runs a PF64 and maybe thats even accepted from GM now... That after the Ultraguard I bought run out, I'll run Fram Ultras since I'm going so long and they are supposed to be even better. I think I read on here that the...

So you dont think its an issue? I see the number and the average number, I just dont have any context on how high of a number is a concern or whatever. I reached out to Blackstone to see what they have to say regarding the results specifically about the iron, running longer and maybe filter

How long of runs did you do? Get any UOAs done?

My 1.4t in the Cruze, same as the sonic engine took 5w30. Speaking of which how do you feel on 30 vs a 40 weight in the 1.4T? Did you just switch with "higher" mileage or do you think no matter what, its a better choice for a 1.4t? My dad has a 13 Cruze Eco auto with 60k or so and he asked me...

Right. The 12-15 Eco with a sticks are the only ones. They had a seperate transmission that was geared stupid low. Motor Trend had a MPG shootout and they had a chart showing the Cruze Eco with a stick was still getting its rated 42mpg at like 82mph or so. It was just stupid.

69k which is pretty nice

I see you have 2 new Sparks. I wonder with these long runs if the pressure thing doesnt really matter and if I'm better off running a Mobil 1 EP filter or something....although while thinking about it if memory serves me correctly I think the Ultraguard Gold filters are very similar to the M1 EP...

Oh really? Thats surprising. Did they figure out it doesnt matter? They didnt change the PF64 did they? Did they listen to the dealers bitching about "having" to use an expensive filter on it (even though I'm sure 90%+ of the time they used the PF64) One thing that sucks about a Spark is there...

I'll have another trip almost as long on this next oil change too

5 months. Yep, I agree. I normally wouldn't really push it like this, by far the longest ive ever gone on any oil. My Cruze with the turbo cooks oil by 7500 or so, sold it and had a Tesla for a while. Back to an ICE. But anyway, a 4cyl doing 1800 RPM, slow accel,pure highway 75 miles at a...

Hmm, I didnt notice the iron being a little high. Any context you can give me to know how much of an issue this is? Maybe I'll do another with 25k on it then?

Ya, it works out perfectly. I think it calls for 4.4 quarts w/ filter? So when I change the filter I replace what I lost with whats left in the jug which helps freshen the oil up. Works out great! Ya, I'm sticking with it for sure. I'm pretty happy with these results

CVT. As I said, I drive like 55 the entire way and I probably average about 48, I've gotten into the 50s several times too. If I'm driving 70+ the MPG aint that hot at all. Upper 30s to mid 40s at more normal highway speeds I'd say. I keep the PSI at like 50psi and accelerate super slow...

20,750 miles with a AC Delco Ultraguard Gold filter changed about halfway through at 11k or so on the oil, and a half quart or so topped off then. That filter is apparently the only one actually recommended for this engine due to it supposedly being the only filter that has the correct bypass...

I got the filters in today....obviously I cant tell crap from the outside but looking at them and the weight of them I really feel like its a decent quality filter that could do 10k no problem. The old filter on the car was a normal PF64 which wasn't surprising (changed at the dealer, wrong...

Chevy Spark 1.4 NA which right now is driven 100% highway, 75 miles each way 7x a week. I bought some M1 0w20 EP, and sadly the car requires the UPF64R due to the 35 PSI rating that is required rather than the 22psi rating literally every other filter that fits the car (PF64 based filters) so...
