    Where has all the 5 qt Mobil 1 0W - 16 gone?

    Thanks a ton guys. There were no other brands either at Wally world. Didn't check Amazon or anywhere else for other brands. I just figured Toyota was adamant about the 0W - 16. 0W - 20 it is then. I like the heavier weight in the summer months anyway. Not sure what CAFE is. I'll have to...

    Where has all the 5 qt Mobil 1 0W - 16 gone?

    Good morning all, Has anyone tried to find any Mobil 1 0W - 16 oil in 5qt bottles? I have tried 4 different Walmarts, Advanced, and O-Reilly. Cannot even get it on Amazon or Walmart online. What gives? Plenty of 0W - 20 in Mobil 1. Just don't want to switch since thats what the car calls for...

    Evening all, Went to do an oil change this weekend on my 5.4l Ford E250 van. Went to Walmart to get my cardboard box of 6qts of Havoline 5w-20. Just plain ole normal motor oil. It was nowhere to be found. After searching and searching this store and a couple other Walmarts in the area for...

    20 Wt oils not the answer maybe?

    Afternoon all, Just picked up my wifes new 2011 Mazda 3 with 74K on the odometer and its a 2.5 liter, 5 spd automatic. It will be her daily driver and mostly in town. I want to do a quick filter and oil change. The cap and manual call for 0W - 20. In my Honda I use Amsoil Signature series...

    Conventional to Synthetic

    Hello all, Have not been here in a while. I just bought my wife a 2011 Mazda 3 with a 2.5l and a 5spd auto. Car cosmetically is in great shape and seems to be very well taken care of. As I do with all vehicles I purchase, I change all the fluids and filters myself and from the start of owning...

    Want to try synthetic on a used vehicle after 100K

    Well I went ahead and purchased the Mobile 1 High mileage 10w-30. The service manual I downloaded recommended 10w-30 for my temperature range for where I live. Yes my Prelude is the 5spd manual tranny. Why do you ask? Why is it you all think 5w-30 would be better than the 10w-30? I have not...

    Want to try synthetic on a used vehicle after 100K

    Thank you all so much for your inputs. I did manage to download a free service manual for the vehicle the other night and it recommends 10w-30 for the temperature ranges I will be seeing here in SWVA. I will most certainly buy some full synthetic tomorrow on my lunch break at work. I will...

    Want to try synthetic on a used vehicle after 100K

    I was reading on the Honda forums that Mobile 1 is good at lifting and preventing deposits. Assuming this motor has had conventional oil in it for all its life and there IS "stuff" accumulated somewhere in the motor, will the synthetic do any harm? Should I go partial or whole synthetic do you...

    Want to try synthetic on a used vehicle after 100K

    Hello all, First time posting here. I have hit the search option and have not come up with quite the response I was looking for. Perhaps you all can forgive me if this question has been asked before. I just purchased a Honda 1990 Prelude 2.0 and the body has over 130K miles on it. The motor has...
