...when you're riding or driving in someone else's car and know they could be using a MUCH BETTER oil and filter?
Ugghhh, it's starting to drive me absolutely CRAZY (I think I've been bitten by the oil bug!
).
Case in point: A friend of mine's parents have a Volvo S70 T5. Great car and a blast to drive, but they have used Valvoline 10w-30 (with Valvoline filter) with 5,000 OCI's in a:
2.3L Turbocharged I5
236hp/243lb-ft
They payed a great deal of money for this car and then cheap out when it comes to the oil!
I'm thinking the best course of action at this point (for the sake of the car and so I won't be so annoyed) is to offer up my services and make the switch over to Mobil Delvac 1300 (until the cold temps arrive) with a Bosch filter.
Will probably just let them run it into the ground though...
Car has 90,000 miles on it.
Your thoughts?
