Calls for 10k OCI on 5w20, but light comes on a little after 5k, so I ran it to 7k to see if it really needed to be changed at 5k and this is the results with the cheapest 5w30 and a $1.08 fram extra guard CH10158 (got 20 on closeout at rockauto). How far can I go?

2014 IS350, manual says 10,000 mile OCI, but my light usually comes on around 5k no matter what oil I use. This got me wondering how accurate the monitor actually is, Lexus OLM information states: Quote: "Smart technology, like the Oil Life Monitor (OLM) system, automatically monitors the oil...

Just bought a new Troy Bilt TB200 mower from Lowes. I pulled it out of the box and saw a small bit of oil at the bottom of the box but didn't think much of it, after I got it assembled I noticed the engine appears to be leaking oil, manual says it doesn't come with oil in it and a small bottle...

78 miles on the car so far, the manual states to use 0-20 and doesn't specify if synthetic is required so I will assume it's not however I will use syn anyhow. My question is would I be doing any damage using a straight 30 weight? 20 seems real thin to me, and it calls for 10,000 mile oil...

Does TC-W3 have any more detergents than any other oil? I know people add it to their gas at 1oz/5 gallons ratio but I'm curious if it has any cleaning ability beyond a normal oil's ability. I used to run a half quart of MMO in the sump for about 500 miles prior to changing the oil, I quit doing...

I'm posting this for future reference, I recently had to take my car (2011 WRX) in to have the clutch changed out ($260 kit, $600 labor) and was wondering if anyone knew of any trustworthy/fair mechanics or shops in the central California area? car has been in the shop for 4 days and it's still...

2011 wrx 23k...i usually get Rotella T6 but walmart is out quite often and the only Mobil 1 they have in 40w is High Mileage 0W-40...would I really cause seal leaks etc using it in a newer car or would it be safe?

Think I'm driving it too hard, I go WOT quite a bit rowing through gears. This oil was ran from Central Cali to Pismo through the twisties, drove to Vegas and back, to work a lot (75 miles each way) the copper seems high, turbo bearings? I'm thinking I need to go back to a 40 weight oil...

2011 Subaru WRX, bought brand new had 12 miles. At 1400 miles I drained the factory fill and dumped in the blood of the gods....pennzoil platinum. Now at 2400 miles, 1000 into the new oil - the new oil is black! Now, I hear all the "well that's cause its cleaning out all that carbon" and "its...

Friend wants to sell me his car, but it's finanaced and he owes money on it, like $16k we wants to sell it to me for like $11 or $12k which is a good deal, it's a 2007 Lincoln MKZ with 15k on the clock, doesnt drive it just sits in LA at his grandma's, he wants to pay his credit card off so he...

so it's been raining here, I was merging onto another highway (circle onramp) and car lost traction and went sideways across the dirt median. Now the car shakes once it gets to 50mph, but gets better at 60 to 65 and anything faster and it feels like it's gonna shake apart... I'm thinking broken...

traded in my 2006 350z and bought a 2006 Corvette C6, 19,351 miles on the clock... out with the old, in with the new... manual says the oil life monitor is only programmed to correspond to the attributes of mobil 1 with supersyn , use of any other oil renders the monitor inaccurate...

my 93 civic lx 5-sp has a starting issue that I cant really pin down... sometimes it will fire right up, but most of the time when you turn the key it has a rapid loud clicking sound, all dash lights come on... wont start, just a rapid click. brand new battery, same thing. but if you jump...

couldnt find any 0-40 at wallyworld, is there gonna be much difference? it's still M1 synthetic... high mileage doesnt matter to me, it's all hype IMO. 06' 350z 53k

the sticker inside the door says 35psi but the tires say 51psi, i asked the nissan dealer and they said go by the sticker but i cant help but think that would lower MPG.... 06 350z

read an article in the paper the other day, but didnt see anything here on it... http://www.getg.com/index.php apparently made from animal fat! they claim it to be superior to oil on the market now.

Just bought a 2006 convertible, my 93 civic took a [censored]. not really sure what oil has been used in the car but looking through the filler cap the thing looks brand spanking new, shiny as [censored]. Oil in it now is very light amber in color... I want to use synthetic to keep it that way...
