    You forgot to bolster your argument for Mobil by claiming that it includes pixie dust and a good dose of unicorn tears.

    Super Tech vs all others....

    Maybe the add pack is similar, - you cannot make any claims about the base oils.

    Can you back up Anything you said here with hard facts? Doubtful. Just a blind love for well advertised products it seems.

    Super Tech vs all others....

    You can also do 5k comfortably on the ST SYN Blend as well with zero worries. Using FS at 5k is waste.

    How do these filters look after 20,000 miles?

    The orange foam filter could be gently tapped to release the heavy particles and probably could be put back in service. The other one appears to be in not as good shape and could be changed.

    Castrol GTX HM SP

    C'mon man, be reasonable. You are purposely twisting what I said. Any reasonable person would correctly assume any motor oil made in recent years which would include SL, SM, SN, and SP.... You are purposely being ridiculous in your response.

    Wix cagey about pro-tech/proselect specs

    Meh. I use Pro Selects almost exclusively now. I'm not worried about efficiencies. I cut a few open after an OCI. They looked fine. I use them from 5k to 10k miles.

    Perform? What do you expect this oil to do -make your engine sing? It's motor oil. It will do what any other motor oil will do.

    Cam chain tensioner plastic

    I believe I read that the reason why GM reduced the OCI (3.6 I think) was because of higher rates if oil consumption. Lower volumes of oil lead to higher oil temps, which lead to higher chain/gear temps which caused chain "stretching" which caused CEL in regards to timing issues. So, typical...

    Dealership oil change price

    When I bought my R/T in 2012 my dealer gave me lifetime free oil changes. Immediately after I bought the car it had an issue with the left head light. It took those morons 3 visits to figure out that is was the DC-DC converter (12 V to 42V ) that the HID plugged into. So, I decided not to have...

    Reason number 35 1/2 why I always do things for myself while I am still able to.

    Found why I had a misfire...

    Haha. Who keeps receipts for everything? Plus, it'd likely be more of a hassle and much time spent dealing with it.

    Found why I had a misfire...

    On an ever seemingly decreasing selection of engines. Not true anymore. Manifold needs to be removed, this, that, or the other thing too. Oh, and sometimes even the engine.

    Last time/how often do you open your hood?

    I live in a town house, so I have A LOT of neighbors🙄. In the twelve years I have lived here, I have ONCE witnessed anyone pop the hood of their vehicle. It was chuckle worthy experience. Guy walks out with a bottle of blue water, opens his driver door, bends down, maybe a minute later he...

    This guy says pre-filling an oil filter is bad and that all manufacturers say so.

    There is no significant difference (read zero) for the 1 or 2 seconds where there is no oil flowing after an oil change which usually happens about twice a year.
