Ah but see I didn’t say “orange can”

Took it all the way. No wavy pleats and no signs of failing to my naked eye. I’m probably gonna use these more often 2006 Toyota Avalon, V6, 155k on car, 70/30 highway/city in between home and New Orleans 10,000 mi/6 months, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30

And the frequent tow bills to the nearest gas station are adding up! 😉

Care to elaborate or just post Star Trek memes?

This dude knows exactly what I’m talking about. 👍🏻🍻😎

Yeah I get what you are saying with replacement additives. However. Pennzoil Plat High Mileage, SP formulation, has a ridiculously bad looking additive package all around. AND a TBN of 5 something which is like…***. Someone said TBN is outdated. I’d like someone to explain that to me and also...

Ah the “cheap insurance” argument.

I thought I explained the question, twice?

There's a lot to complain about, it's a ripe field with low hanging fruit in 2023. There's nothing wrong with linearity in maintenance fluids. I think your anti-capitalism sentiment here is actually turned around - it'd be more lucrative if there WERE more specialty oils needed, as then you...

Unsure as it was a shop change before this but it’s safe to assume it was likely black bottle/bucket Delvac. Most every shop seems to use that as it’s cheapest for them.

Looks good to me? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe I’ll extend it to 15k. 86,780 on unit 11,080 on oil/8 months time 15w40 silver jugs This was with a Fram 20k filter and pulling a 40’ 5th wheel for 50% of the miles.
