    Quaker State 5w30 SP

    QSFS = PP (and not PUP) in my understanding & usually can be had cheaper than PP I beleive (not including sale or rebates etc)...

    Permanent DST (Daylight Savings Time)

    In Canada most people like DST becuase in peak of winter sun is out by 4pmish or sooner as you head up north.... however there is 1 problem during late Fall and Winter Months the Sun rises late to begin with and now it will rise an hour later and this is always stressful for parents to see their...

    13th UOA, 07 Toyota 4.0L, Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5w30, 10k miles on oil

    @jetman - Hi there, admire your zeal for Testing and Reporting on forum, but I am lost and still not able to understand neither your choice of oil (both weight & a diesel rated oil) nor what you are trying to determine? Appreciate if you can shed some light on what is that you are trying to get...

    Seeking BMW LL-01FE 0/30 oil in US. Suggestions?

    Liqui Moly, Fuchs, Motul all of them have LL-01FE oil but you will have to find a local supplier/seller. I would try going to their US websites and see if that provides any local leads... check this out :) https://products.liqui-moly.com/storelocator/

    Castrol 0W-40 • 5,708mi • 2010 Civic Si 113k

    Is there an oil leak issue? All gaskets inspected? I have noticed that you had to top up 1 to 2 quarts for each of your OCI's... is your coolant fresh and up to proper levels? Spark plugs keeping up? The reason I raise these questions... despite relatively short OCI (milage wise), you had to top...

    What oil have you gone with? If you feel little uneasy about 40wt oil... I suggest you try (QSFS or any SP rated synthetic) 10W30 and see how it goes... Its a good compromise dor this engine it seems...

    I'm new here, and after doing a quick sweep, there is no consensus-favorite oil to use?

    I'm not going to give any suggestions as you have already received 7 pages of it, but I do share your sentiment and I too have felt it here that there is no FAVOURITE Oil nor there is a clearly DISLIKED oil at the moment on the forums. If you go all the way back and up till now you will see that...

    Mobil1 or Castrol Edge 0w40 VOAs

    Unless your car is modified I do no think you need 0W40 oil, neither it gets that cold in MD! I would stick to any SP rated synthetic 5W-30... this engine will last forever, can't say about cvt tranny and rest of the car though!

    Amsoil Signature Series 0w30 (SP)

    Unfortunately Valvoline EP is not widely available (no where to be seen in Canada) nor is seen to go much on sale+rebates like Mobil or Penzoil products, I would love to have Valvoline EP in my garage on the oil shelf! Yes it has a stellar add-pack as well, but I am not sure if the base oil is...

    Which is better? Valvoline MaxLife HM or Valvoline Advance Synthetic?

    I believe they both are same oil (if not almost similar) with Maxlife has some extra seal conditioners, if you do not have oil burn and oil leak issues, I say you do not need MaxLife, many people out there prefer to use HM oils after their engine has racked up 100K+ miles, I do not subscribe to...

    Amsoil Signature Series 0w30 (SP)

    Mobil 1 FS 0W40 Civic 1.8 FK2 R18a2 19664km

    I am baffled how there has been no drop in TBN after 10k km/6K miles of usage (i do see you topped up 0.8L), given your high quality gas, mostly hwy miles, mostly high speed driving, M1 0W40 seems to fit the bill perfectly and no need to worry given its not a Asian turbo engine... This oil will...

    Mobil 1 FS 0W40 Civic 1.8 FK2 R18a2 19664km

    I get it 10W30 is a more stout 30wt oil as compared to 0W/5W-30? what is so special about M1 EP 10W30 (in comparison to other long drain interval oils), I suppose this oil too can be had at killer price during sales+rebates whenever and where they occur? am I not right?

    2AZ-FE - What is the best oil option?

    I have had a similar problem but following helped... respectfully I say this oil weight may not be a full solution here... 1. Call your Toyota Dealer to see if there is an outstanding recall work pending on your car 2. Check for any leaks, upper or lower gaskets and as well as from Oil Filter...
