Havoline ProDS Experiences?

[SZR48207]

I recall that some of us bought this oil at a great discount last year from O'Reilly's.

Has anyone run it yet?

I'm sure it's fine, but in some random thread here I saw someone briefly mention that they used it and the engine became noticeably louder or had startup wear issues.

I’m using in my 2005 RSX and really can’t tell a difference in engine noise on start up.

It's on deck for my Ridgeline in May. Got it for two bucks a quart.

Are you saying they are the same thing?

Was totally fine in both vehicles I used it in, both a 99 Crown Vic and an 02 Envoy.

How would someone know they had "startup wear issues" from the oil?

I currently have it in my Durango, zeros problems!

I'm 5,400 miles into a 7.5k oci.

Oil is oil.

Blew the engine on all three cars I tried it in. LOL!!!

1) its a major name brand
2) its a current API rating (SN) with a valid API donut and starburst
3) its the correct weight for my vehicle.


You meet these three and you will have zero problems for a daily driver. heavy towing is another matter all together.

VOA's state as much.

I have run it in my MILs 2012 GMC Acadia for 6k miles (Havoline ProDS 5w30 Dexos 1) a year ago.
Sounds and runs the same as it does on Mobil 1 .
I'll run it again next time she needs an oil change.
I have 10 qts of it still .

It is in my 1996 Mustang GT.

It is S.O.P./status quo -

of course, that 4.6 is happy on anything inthe sump short of melted bacon grease.

I'm using it all the time now that I have 12 jugs... Love this stuff.

I actually just put that back in my Nissan Altima 3.5 VQ. I have always like Havoline Pro DS in my car. Runs nice and quiet from start up to fully heated up running. I wish I could find it around me like I used to be able to find it.

 

[SZR48207]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

On my 2nd oil change with it in the Kia. I have 9 jugs left and sump is only 3.5 quarts. Car hasn't blown up yet.

As a fellow Hyundai own.....That problem will be coming to you very soon. Hyundai does so many things right, but one thing they can't do, is build s good motor. You can see this in almost every motor they build has been high on warranty replacement or in my case a silent high warranty replacement and hush hush about "the problem". Some motors make it , a lot don't.

I thought you had just changed your oil recently? Anyhoo, Havoline ProDS is a great choice if only I could find it. The VAS is running smooth in my engine so I’m happy.
