I have oil everywhere. Loosing a quart...

    First time using Box oil today.

    So I poured in havoline pro DS 5w 30 in my 2006 Tahoe w/227k on the clock. I like the fact that 1 Box filled it. I did spill a little(Box corner hit the fan shroud when pouring). First impression same as any other full syn. Will probably use it again 22.97 for 6 quarts good with all the price...

    Noise at start up

    Ok my Tahoe just started making cold start up noise for a few seconds. Same engine noise I get with a new oil change before the filter fills with oil for those first few seconds. Oil filter sits where oil won't drain out so it shouldn't be a faulty Ani drain back valve in my opinion. Filter is a...

    2019 4 runner oil

    My Daughter just bought a used 2019 4 runner with 22k. It calls for 0w 20 oil. I believe it specifies synthetic.

    Hyundia oil recommendations

    My Daughter just bought a 2020 elantra. My question is from what I find it recommends 5w-20 or 5W-30. What I find strange is most other manufacturers stay in the same weight category. 0w 20 5w-20 example. Any idea why Hyndia is ok with a 20 or 30 Wright oil ? It is used with 40k and will be...
