Yeah... M1

Out of warranty by about 60k

06 Honda accord 3.0. Was thinking of going to 0w30, but didn't want to do something 'stupid'

BG makes some good products. And their oil is probably fine. That said, its probably MORE expensive than say M1 or PP etc... might as well go with a proven brand unless you WANT to test it..

GM does the same. OEM filters are a different color than the delco ones

I buy all the oil for our dealership from the exxon mobil distributor. However, for everything other than M1 5w30 which we get in bulk, walmart is cheaper.

Don't those take 75W90? I used M1 75w90 in my 06 Vibe.. According to alldata for an 05 Vibe "Transmission Fluid Grade GL-4 Synthetic Viscosity 75W-90 "

I was told by someone at Carquest that their branded synthetic was actually Valvoline Synpower. Yet...its half the price? Was just curious if this is true, or is it like synpower minus all the good stuff in the add pack?

1981 Honda Accord hatchback. The "blue love" lol

Who in their right mind would pay $100 for a synthetic oil change at a jiffy lube? What are they charging $15/qt? I work for a dealer and we charge $6/qt for M1 5w30 plus I think its $5.25 for a filter (delco) and thats for anyone coming in. So with labor you are at $55 or $60. Vs $29.95 for...

Funny how Mobil one gets approved for basically everything, and all the other brands are 5W30 and or 10W30 only.

I punched that number into GM and this is what I got.. FOR SERVICE USE PART NUMBER 89022170 Description OIL,ENG 5W30, 1 QT HIGH MILAGE Called a dealer that has it in stock... MOBIL CLEAN HIGH MILAGE 5W30 WITH BAR CODE 71924-97030

My oil rep told me that if a car has say 80k on it...all on dino, and you fill it up with synthetic to have a shorter OCI on your first run, as most synthetics clean better, and therefore you could be running with really dirty oil if you go for a long time. He recommended like a 3-5k change...

GM Goodwrench oil is Exxon Mobil. I doubt they are going to go somewhere else for their synthetic. * At least in the states it is. Can you find a part number for it anywhere? I could do some research if I had a number for it.

I had a vendor (who doesn't sell RP...he's our BG rep) telling me that Royal purple was the best synthetic out there...and WAY better than M1 and PP et al. Just curious what the consensus around here is? Is it worth the extra price? I did a search, but there wasn't a whole lot of info..

GM vehicles come with an acdelco filter, but its got a red label generally rather than the normal blue one. I think its just to designate it as the original factory filter. I do know the vibes were coming with toyota filters for awhile, not sure if they still are or not.

Anyone know of a suitable replacement? Amsoil says their 75w90 SVG meets all the specs. I have M1 75w90LS.

In short.... yes. I'm holding a bottle of 5w30 chevron supreme synthetic, and it meets both 6094M and 4718
