I've used Mobil 1 in a variety of my vehicles over the past 30 years. My older vehicles I would use conventional oil like my old Pontiac's and Buicks. All my new cars got Mobil 1. I figured I'd try something different to keep my 2010 Chevy Equinox 3.0 V6 going a little longer. I've done the oil changes per the trip computer at 5-7K miles for the life of the car. It currently has almost 131K miles on it now.
I've always used the M1 5W30, typically a Mobil 1 or K&N filter(never again after the "nut" on the end leaked one time, and an old school FilterMag magnet. When I've changed the oil at 7K miles I'd typically be down a half or so quart. I never worried about it. The last few oil changes I've done here in FL (previously in MA) I've gone around 5K miles only due to the temps here vs MA. We've been in FL for the last 2 years.
After watching some video's and doing some research I figured I'd try Amsoil. I'm going to use the flush. I'm fairly confident not a lot of crud will come out since I've been pretty religious about doing the oil changes and have always used a quality oil and filter.
Anyone have any thoughts or concerns about using the flush and then going to Amsoil at 130K mile engine?
Thanks all.
