Hello. After the first 1,000 miles, I put a Fram Endurance filter on and put in Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. However, after reading through BITOG about turbos and specifically the Ford EcoBoost, I am concerned that the Pennzoil is too thin to protect the engine and/or may not combat any...

Hello, Gents. My wife's 2021 Nissan Altima is coming up on 30,000 miles and because it is a CVT, I want to have the transmission serviced. I should have the dealer do a drain and fill, but not a fluid exchange with machine (flush), correct? Would that be the majority opinion/advice here? Thanks...

Hello! I’d like forum members’ opinions on which oil from the following choices to use in 10,000-mile OCI’s on my 2021 Ford F150 with a 5.0 engine. The truck is driven all hwy, 108 miles daily. Price is not relevant, so please leave that out of your equation. Please just tell me which oil and...

Hello! Just purchased a 2021 Ford F150 SuperCrew with the 5.0. Owners manual states 5w30 for the oil. After the first two free Ford oil changes (which I assume will be with Motorcraft Semi-synthetic 5w30), I will be using my own choice of oil. Vehicle will be driven 3 days a week, 108 miles...

Hello. I have a new 2021 Nissan Altima with. 2.5l I4 engine. What oil brand would you suggest in the 0w20 flavor? Don’t have any experience with Nissan vehicles. The car will be driven 108 miles round trip on the hwy 5 days a week. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Gentleman. I am looking for recommendations for a solid 0w20 that would be good for this 1.4 Turbo engine for 10,000 OCI. Thanks in advance.

Okay. I am going to try 5w30 in my Tundra from the 0w20 after some conversations on the forum about engine wear and longevity. First, my situation. I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra 5.7 V8. I drive all hwy. The Interstate is right by my house. Monday - Friday, I drive round trip 108 miles each day...

So, what are the major differences in these two oils? Mobil says the vanilla Mobil 1 is good for a 10,000 mile OCI and Mobil 1 EP is now good for a 20,000 mile OCI. Is the add pack the only difference in the two? Stronger add pack in EP, but both oils have some PAO base? There is only a couple...

Hello! Just curious about something. I see many threads on high mileage syn and regular syn, but I don't really understand why one would pick high mileage. Could you educate me on the scenarios? For instance: If I use Mobile 1 EP 0w20 on my car from mile number 1 new and perform regular changes...

Good morning, Gentlemen. Quick question. If I open an oil container, for instance--a 5qt jug, and do not use it all and put the cap back on. How long is that opened oil good for generally speaking? How long is it go to go in a vehicle? Thanks!

Hey, Everyone. Quick question. In the past, all of my vehicles had the standard oil can oil filter. When changing oil, I would lube the o-ring, pour a little oil inside the filter, and put it on. In my Tundra, there is a cartridge filter. The filter element slides down over the metal core, and...

Toyota Tundra. 10,000 mile OCI. Money nor connivence is an issue. Mostly Hwy driving. Arkansas weather. Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 or Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 0w20?

My 2019 Toyota Tundra has a required 5,000 mile OCI because it is the Flex Fuel (FFV) engine. Even though I don't run E85 in it ever, which means I can probably do 10,000 like the non-FFV Tundras without issue, I don't want to void the warranty. Anyway, my free Toyota Care oil changes are...
