How many miles do you put on in a year and are they city, highway or mix?Which way would you go and why?
Use Amsoil Signature series 5w-30 and change it once a year, or use Mobil1 ESP 5w-30 and change it twice a year.
In a 2008 6.0 Vortec with about 90k.
Roughly 12-13k so not that much, mostly highway.How many miles do you put on in a year and are they city, highway or mix?
Info above (12k-13k, mostly highway)What sort of mileage are we talking about covering in this year?
Skipped right over it thanks.Info above (12k-13k, mostly highway)
Lol, gotta say that's the first time I've ever seen the claim that an engine stops better on a particular oil.First, do whatever makes you feel better.
Second, I think the only way to find out is a UOA.
To me personally, I like ESP for its approvals. Also in my Kia (which is not comparable to the Vortec in any ways), I’ve tried both and subjectively, SS was no different from any other oil. But ESP is making the engine start, run and even stop so much smoother. Call it a placebo effect, but I own the car since brand new and change the oil every 3k miles. It’s at 45k right now and it has never ran this good. I’m sticking with the ESP now on
And I do agree with that! That’s why I’ve said call it a placebo effect all you want But with any other oil, when I push the “start/stop” button to stop it, the whole car gives quite a shake. I’ve never worried about it, thinking it’s just what it is. Now, after I changed it to ESP the car just shuts off, no more shaking. The difference is huge. Nothing else but oil was changed. So unless it’s a property of this specific model to stop doing so after 45k miles, I do think it has smth to do with oilLol, gotta say that's the first time I've ever seen the claim that an engine stops better on a particular oil.
When posters make claims like that it's hard to take anything else seriously.
