Have heard that the TRD is a rebadged Mobil 1 and K&N as they are all made by Champion.

Have heard on several boards that the Toyota TRD is the same as the Mobil 1 and the K&N as all are made by Champion..

Does anyhone know if the flow rate of the regular Mobil 102 and the extended 209 are the same? All things being equal, I would rather use the larger filter. Did this on my last Toyota Tundra but wondering if the same would be true with my new Tacoma...

Have 2012 5.0 Mustang and have been using a K&N HP 2011 which I got in bulk almost two years ago when few made filters for Ford's new 5.0. Been thinking about using Mobil 1's 212 as their site says that it is compatible with the new 5.0. Does anyone know anything about the new Mobile 1? Using...

OVERK1LL, Pablo: This is the problem with knowing the nitty gritty on each oil. It is almost impossible to know which oil is the best for what application or which oil will or will not be a point of contention IF a problem occurs. One could use an inferior oil just to meet a manufacturers...

Gene, On Amsoils' site it states that the Signiture 0W-20 does meet WSS-M2C945-A. It also is API SN and Ilsac GF-5, GF-4. It also meets up to date ACEA standards. I confirmed this with a phone call to their tech dept. It would seem that Ford would have a tough time saying that it is not an...

Have a 2012 5.0 Mustang and looking for clearification on oil. Looking to use Amsoil Signature 0-20 and wondering if anyone knows if it meets the Ford WSS-M2C945-A specs. Ford specs call for 5-20 but can't see where it would matter. Amsoil can be tricky because they do not get API cert. and...

Tomcat, I called Amsoil's tech section to find out more. For some reason, Toyota's are the only engines that have had the problem. As I said, it is only a handful of engines and Amsoil is cutting the change frequency until it can check it out. It seems silicon is the most common reason for the...

Have read where Amsoil has cancelled the recommendation for 25,000 miles on their oil filters for the Toyota 4.7 due to large amounts of silicon clogging the filters. Has anyone heard of these engines having high silicon in oil analysis? I did early on but thought it was from a new engine and...

I am also interested as may purchase a 370Z. I think the ester issue is over rated. I think any group 1V or V will do nicely. I lean toward Amsoil's signature series but sure any oil of similiar quality would do well. Interested in how much ester is in Nissan's oil. I think Nissan's oil is group...

Thanks for the input. It is always great to depend on expertise which is greater then mine.

Been using the M1 102 but saw something in print about going to the M1 209 as it has larger capacity and same price. The bi-pass psi is within limits so is there any downside to going to a larger capacity filter?

Buster, Given your last post and Resolute's, do you feel that nissan's ester oil is better with the VVEL then say Amsoils' best SSO without the ester?

Thanks for the info. RD400, thanks for the repost of Will's post. It would seem that the ester may or may not be better then say Amsoil, Redline or Motul. Will be interesting to see what happens down the line when this oil is compared with others. Will, in the post, thinks that it may quiet...

Can anyone give any info on Nissan's Ester oils? The company is saying that because of some coating on intake or valve surfaces in the 3.7 (G37 & 370Z) that ester is recommened. I have always used Amsoil signature in my vehicles and find it hard to believe that Nissan's ester oil is better then...
