My Summary for this UOA: 15,000 miles over 10 months of Mobil 1 EP for a part time engine that does alot of "engine starts and stops" and still has adequate TBN 2.88 left. That's pretty darn good!

15,000 miles at what time frame?

Wow! Divorce after Elin found out about Tiger's multiple mistresses? Expected! I hear there was a prenup and she got more because of a renegotiation. This is how it went down.... Day of Discovery of Infidelities. "I hate you Tiger! How could you do this to our relationship?" says Elin. "I do...

$50 to drain transmission fluid? wow! I pay $10 to drain and refill my ATF if i bring my own parts. And I pay $10 for an oil/filter change if i bring my own parts. no disposal fee. no tax. Nice huh? this shop specializes in Hondas so it's a no brainer for me to take it there. $10 is actually...

7+ months on Mobil 1 EP in a 1998 Honda CRV. No oil consumption here.

Originally Posted By: moss Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, this time I will wait at least 8K miles before I change the oil, maybe even 10K. If I wait 10K miles than I will sent another sample for analysis. Thomas34, my car doesn't have FSS (Flexible Service System), so it doesn't tell me...

Originally Posted By: moss I have been doing ~5K miles per oil change interval, but after this oil report I'm thinking to go 8K miles. The last 2 oil changes I have been using Mobil1 0w40, but for the previous ~40k miles the engine has had only Rotella 5w40. Previous owner used HDEO 15w40. This...

Originally Posted By: JawKnee I last changed the oil and oil filter on my 2005 Honda S2000 on 3/25/2009, about 2,200 miles ago. Should I change it soon? I am running Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30, and the car is garaged. I only drive it when it's "nice" out here in the Seattle area. When I do...

thanks for posting pics. pics are always nice.

Originally Posted By: rjacket I do except I'm limiting myself to synthetic oils. It's perhaps not necessary but I don't think the extra cost is significant even at regular retail prices eg $20 for PP vs $12 for PYB or $11 for MC Blend. So say $10 to $20 extra per year per car to know that I'm...

Originally Posted By: Popinski I've tried almost every single synthetic oil on the market (except Amsoil, Redline and Royal Purple). Today I changed my oil to Castrol Edge 10w30. This is the first time that my engine is silky smooth on idle and driving. I am a believer. Anyone else get the same...

if you are standing right in front of them while doing the oil change and you have an intelligent discussion about your car...im sure these quick lube places will be fine. it's the vulnerable customer who get taken advantage of. any place i go for an oil change, i always watch them drain the...

Originally Posted By: Corvette Owner Well, the TBN for Mobil 1, run the same mileage (OLM to 0%) has been 2.5 and 2.7 (compared to 3.3 for Edge). Oil was run for 11 months, please don't say Edge worked as advertised. BTW, I drive my Corvette very easy. Usually shift at 3,500 rpms and never...

Originally Posted By: Corvette Owner Does anyone know what Castrol Edge's virgin TBN is? Judging from several Castrol Edge UOAs, it doesn't seem like Edge would go 15,000 miles. My Corvette went only 5778 miles and the TBN was at 3.3 ! Facts and opinions? how much time did it take for you to...

Originally Posted By: memsu Originally Posted By: Thomas34 may i ask how long it took to accumulate 7244 miles? It took a about 2 months. I put the castrol edge in on 2/25/10 and changed it on 4/20/10. that comes out to 3500 miles per month! i believe you can make it to 10000 miles based on...
