My last OC I put 5 quarts into an engine that only takes 4, then started it up.

My impala did exactly that when it had warped rotors. GM factory rotors are [censored]. If your rotors are factory original, that is the problem.

Search for the post on here where some guy heated up oil on the stove in his mother's kitchen. That was a great thread. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/3618227 Here it is, it wasn't to do a pour test, it was to show how heat darkens oil. Either way it is...

I use PP in my impala. Forget the OLM and run it 7500 to 10k miles with a fram ultra filter.

You should do those same searches but use site:bobistheoilguy.com/forums instead

I have a radar detector. It lets me know where they are running radar and has paid for itself countless times by alerting me to speed traps. They aren't 100% but the cops have to work harder to ticket you when you are running with one.

I saw an improvement since I switched from M1 to PP in my leaky impala.

When I switched from M1 to PP in my impala, I noticed less consumption. It went from 1 quart in 2000 miles to 2500-3000 miles.

There is no toilet flushing standard or regulation for flushing power. There are regulations for water usage per flush, though. There is a staggering difference of poo-flushing power between expensive toilets and cheap toilets. Similarly, there is no standard or regulation for chip resistance...

This is only true when using something like seafoam to rapidly +clean an engine. Synthetic oil takes a long time to clean an engine, it won't clog your filter or any other of that nonsense.

Why wouldn't you want water to bead on your windshield? You want reduced visibility in heavy rain?

2006 Impala, 160k miles, consumes 1 qt every 2500 miles Out: 4 quarts PP, Fram Ultra filter, 9k miles/6 month OCI In: 4 quarts PP, Fram Ultra filter

You can't go wrong with a civic or corolla

Cooper CS5 are great tires and reasonable price

Use PP or PUP with 5k oci for the life of the car should keep those oil return holes unclogged. That is what I use in my toyota. At 110k miles it does not consume any oil, but I am not sure if the 3MZ-FE is considered an oil burner or not.

If you shorten the interval you end up spending more on oil than you would with synthetic and longer intervals. You didn't say how much shorter intervals but if you do the math, synthetic + longer intervals is much cheaper.

fram ultra

YMMV but this is my experience with GM and toyota. I have a 2006 model GM and a 2006 model toyota. The Toyota looks like half its real age and the GM looks twice its real age. Both similar mileage over 100k miles. For the Impala: badly yellowing headlights, engine leaks oil because they used...

Some oil turns dark just from being heated. That was established on another thread here recently where some guy heated oil on his stove for some reason to test that theory, and it darkened just from applying heat. Some engines tend to darken oil more than others. Darkening of oil does not...
