I change the oil in my F-150 once a year now. I put less than 6k a year on it. I've got 10 Qts of Mobil 1 5W-20 that has a maufacture date of July 15, 2012. That's 4 1/2 years old, when I change it out it will be 5 1/2 years old. I hate to waste the Mobil 1, Mobil says it has a shelf life of 5...

I just bought a new Suzuki 20 HP outboard. I will be completing the first 5 hours of break in this weekend and will be changing the gear oil. My question is what brand. I want to go synthetic, and I have been looking at the Bel Ray full syn oil, does anyone have suggestions?

What current synthetic oils are PAO group IV based ? I have heard that Mobil 1 EP is?

I bought my wife a 2013 Lexus RX-350 in Sept. The Manufacturers OCI is 10k. She only has 4300 on the factory fill. We are expecting to go on a 10 hour trip for July 4th. Would you have the oil changed before the trip? It calls for 0-20w, I plan on replacing with synthetic.

Can you use a UCL like Lucas and Techtron at the same time or would it be better to use them on seperate tanks of gas?

My Daughters 2007 Kia Optima started using oil during the past 2 oil changes. It uses 1.5 Qt in 5k. It never used oil before, the only difference is I started using NAPA full synthetic 5w-20. It was on sale for 3.25 a Qt so I stocked up. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake, I have only used...

My daughter has a 2007 optima that I use 5w20 syn of different brands. The last 2 oil changes I have had to add 1 qt of make up at 2500 miles. I usually run 5-6koci's. the car is not leaking a bit. Should I be concerned?

I bought a new 2012 Honda Accord recently. I want to use the Honda branded full Syn oil. The only problem was the oil was decently priced @ $6.40 a Quart. The shipping was astronomical. I finally found a place with a good price for shipping, the are shipping me 10 Qts for $7.95. Enter part...

I had an Altima 2.5l until a pizza delivery boy ran into the back of me and totalled it last Friday. I bought a 2012 Accord which specs out a M1-110. I have a M1-108 left in stock that was for the Altima. Looks the same just a little shorter, if I can't use it what do you do with a $13.00 filter...

I've picked up a 2013 RX-450 for my wife. The manual states 10k OCI with 0w-20 Synthetic. I'll be using the Toyota Full Syn. My first 2 service visits are free, but the dealer only checks the car out at 5k and does not change the oil until the second visit which is at 10k. I believe the car...

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima. I am planning on using M1 EP on a 12k OCI. The only thing that concerns me is the filter is very small. I bought a M1 EP filter thinking that would be adequate for the OCI, But man my filter on my Suzuki is larger than this filter. Should I be concerned ? Do you...

My wife has a 2008 Altima with 35k miles. She drives around 10k miles a year. My question is: Do you think a once a year Oil Change is OK, with the M1 Ext.? I plan on using the NAPA Platinum or the Mobil 1 filter.

So, I keep reading on this forum that Napa Syn. is made by Ashland, same as Valvoline Synpower, but it has a weaker additive package. So your telling me it's cheaper to put in a less additives and do a complete new mix, than just changing out the bottles on the conveyer ? Can you guy's who...

Specs say SAE 90 Hypoid oil. all I can find is 75w90 or 80w90. Whats the diff?

My manual for my King Quad calls for 10w-40 with an API of sf, or SJ or a JASO of MA. I've been using 10w-40 API SM. ( Havoline) I think the JASO specified for clutch and tranny lube, which is done by the crankcase oil. Am I hurting my Quad by using regular car oil in it?

I was a big change my own oil guy for years, I got a new travel job and got out of it for the past 4 years. I decided to go back to synthetics and start changing my own oil again. So, I go to the auto parts place and look for oil,, WOW you mean in 4 years Dyno oil is $5.00 a Qt and Syn is...

I think I can go 10k on my M1, but will the filter last that long? I'm using K&N, and M1 filters. What do you guy's do for extended oil changes ?

Blackstone says it looks good, but what's up with the Magnesium?

What would you guy's suggest for a beginning OCI for a 2007 Kia Optima using Amsoil XL 5W-20. The car has 15k miles on it. I plan on doing a UOA on it after the first use. I have been using PP 5w-30, but I got my hands on a case of XL 5w-20 and if the UOA proves good, I will continue with it.
