You may lose a few additives here or there but the industry says the end producys would ne better. Imo who cares we change it way to often to benefit from any of it. -vic

You guys gonna have me layout tommorow and do this now. Thanks.

Truth, but how would you feel in the time frame stretching ocis ? A friends 98 camrys engine just seized today lols. Sludggeeeee

Have 800 miles my 2010 civic si, on my previous 2 ive done early changes. On this one im still debating, have a week to make my decision.

And to be fair they did have the $20 5qt castrol plus fram filter sale going on.

Their 5qt jug was was almost $40 Store brand conventional 5w30 was $3.79. Way too much, I know they cant compete with WM on prices but almost double ? Personally I wont pay that. I wish WM would carry m1 synth atf, right now only AZ has it near me and its $8/qt

$48**** The 5qt jug was around $38 or something I forgot

Was at the zone yesterday getting mf cloths and a bottle of wax. Look what I see, I thought bitog would love the price ! $46 for a case of 6 (wm 5qt is $22) lols !

That oil doesnt make much sense for walmart, all the highend oils are $22 and then this $28... Both make the same claims on the packaging, so of course people are buying the cheaper one.

Ok thats what I thought, seems these v8's run nice and hot. So now hopefully this oil holds up better then the 5w30 would have. -Vic

Y K I do understand that, but reality is most people cannot lawyer up over things like this. Especially a misinformed person, which most consumers are ( I'm not excluding myself ). If you take it to litigation and ask the rep to prove its your fault, theyll simply say you overan the oil. Your...

Nice thanks for the response ! Also I wont be using this in the winter, by late october or november I will change it out for 0w40 or 5w40, Ill decide then. NY weather is tricky, sometimes it doesnt start to feel cold at all untill after haloween, and sometimes its freezing way before it. We...

mechtech2 answer if this oil helped on his landrover ? on this motor it seems normal operating temp is very hot, so the 15w50 should hold up better. Seems to be doing verywell up untill now.

I didnt on my 08 Civic 1.8l for 17k miles. No movement on dipstick M 1 regular synthetic 5w20

ok, best of luck to you. Everyone listen up, a lawyer has spoken... no need to follow MFR OCIs to maintain warranty on your engines

I redlined my coupe at least 10 times a day, never had to top off. im not disputing your claim, just saying how not every r18 motor consumes noticable oil -Vic

I didnt mean to bring magnusson-moss act into the thread, I meant warranty or oil related purposes/problems. If they spec 7500 miles and your current batch and every other one before you ran for 10k, you can rest assured knowing they wont have to prove anything if your bearings go... or any...

Im sure this has een covered 1million times before. Noone needs an extended oil drain, its a matter of want. M1 EP has to be more advanced the reg M1, Id say it has to do with the certification process. The cert thing is for warranty purposes, overshooting your OLM on warranty will void it so...

thanks for the reassurance guys... my cooling system is fine, al gauges read normal,coolant is fresh, t-stat goes on, no noise from pump, system is pressurized. it just seems like the engine bay is normally supposed to get hot like this, which had me thinking I was cooking the oil. I did topoff...

yes I did, drives good and seems to accelerate nice and smooth. I am waiting for that uoa testkit to come in and will sample this oil before drain. this is my first time not using 5w30 so I personally dont oil gives me desired performance. I read some more and "heard" this oil will shear to a...
