    Ecoboost with Mobil 1 0w40

    Please post a voa on the castrol 0w40 ! I'm a fan of castrol products as well . Im curious if towing will have much impact . I havnt been letting it idle much since it's warm and I just changed it . I also wanted to note that the engine felt really smooth with the 0w40 .

    Ecoboost with Mobil 1 0w40

    On a side note , I have a fresh 420hp/485 ft lb Pontiac 406 roller engine ready for my gto , was gonna run Brad penn 10w40 but what do you folks think about 0w40 for this app ? The builder still suggested higher zddp levels even though it's a roller cam . Mobil 0w40 still has 1000/1100 ppm . I...

    Ecoboost with Mobil 1 0w40

    I think I'm gonna stick with the 0w40 , and keep changing the oil when the monitor is around 25% . I am tempted to try the rotella t6 but just refilled with Mobil . The winter warm ups were for defrosting but again , as I work out of town , I do t do that every day. I've owned the truck just shy...

    Ecoboost with Mobil 1 0w40

    Apprx 10 min idle time in winter (auto start ) but I also only drive it about every other day . I think the fuel dilution is just a characteristic of direct injection . The oil had always smelled gassy even before I added the auto start. I wish I souls had tested the Kendal 5w30 , it drained out...

    Ecoboost with Mobil 1 0w40

    I don't drive much and I put the 0w40 in the late fall last year . It cranked a heck of a lot easier in the bitter cold then with the 5w30 the year before. I think I'll keep changing it when the monitor gets down to the 25% range . Also the 0w40 has had 0 impact on fuel economy. Mpg has actually...
