Odd that you get free oil changes at 5K. Mine will be done at 10K. I'm doing my own oil changes at 5K, 15K as well only because I have so much free oil from the O-Reilly contests this summer and last. Otherwise I'd be fine with 10K. I did 10K in my Civic and that was an '03. Use your 5w30 with...

Yeah, Toyota seems to be one company that seems to underestimate. My Camry gets 37-38 easy on pure highway, not the estimated 31. Had similar results with an MR2 Spyder.

O Reilly's carries it around here...only quarts, though. Don't know about your area. Sure they could order it for you.

Good idea. When I had an mr2 spyder someone on spyderchat was selling home-made motor mounts...but these were more or less "puzzle pieces" that filled in the gaps of the original mounts.

Judging it by the marketing I think the best one could hope for is it's an average oil.

But it goes deeper than that...again, not sure if this info is current: From O'Reilly Lube Tech FAQ: Question: Who makes O'Reilly's brand of oil? Answer: O'Reilly's brand of oil is manufactured and packaged by Omni Specialty Packaging. Omni is an independent lubricant manufacturer in...

It is/was Omni up to about a year ago...not sure if they still make it.

2014 Camry SE 3.5 [Factory recommends 0w20 and 10k OCI.] I am doing 5k OCI's instead. Currently: QSUD 5w20. Next: QSUD5w30. It gets to 0f in the winter and 100f in the summer here. Yes, I will be running a thicker oil than recommended [summer months] while under warranty. I will go back to...

My 2006 Civic Si 2.0 called for a 10K mile oil change interval with 5w20. [Synthetic was not required.] Filter changed every other oil change. I always used Mobil 1 or O'Reilly synthetic 5w20 anyway, from 120k up to 220k no problems. Car used a lot of oil when i got it and used a bit more...

No. Doesn't matter for the opposite either...German cars made here. My M Coupe was manufactured in S. Carolina, but still required 10w60.

I've been using T6 5w40 for a 2nd season with no problems in an 8 yr. old craftsman w/a B&S. SAE 30 is recommended. I say go for it.

GMFan, look into a macrobiotic diet. Read about it first then try it. If it doesn't help then no harm/no foul. It's ultra old school, all whole grains, beans, some fish, locally grown vegetables, and organic is preferred. Avoids sugar, milk, refined grains, meat, nightshades, spicy, etc. Even if...

My '10 called for 5w30 only. I'm looking at the manual now. Possibly Nissan back spec-ed to just one grade in the name of convenience/conformity?

I run just as an aerobic warm up to weight lifting sometimes. You averaged 8 min/mile in your first 1/2 marathon. I couldn't dream of going that fast. Congratulations, you're off to a good start.

I put it in a civic that recommended 5w20 and the negatives were a drop in mpg (3% loss) and sluggish performance until oil was up to operating temp (10 minutes of driving). If you are doing mainly short trips you might want to avoid it.

Originally Posted By: gregk24 That seems like a lot of consumption, even for that mileage. How did you treat the car? And what weight of oil did you use through its life? Syn, dino? I drove it not exactly gently for the last 112k miles. It was consuming from the start...1.5 qt/1000mi. to 1...

The cam galling was supposed to be an issue on the K20 of the '02-'05 civic si as well. I sold mine at 232K miles and although it was consuming about a quart per 1000 miles the cams were as good as one could expect at that mileage. I suspect some were getting the cam galling due to oil...
