hey guys sorry im a newby to oci's and everything, i got both of these on sale so why not.
I went with
castrol edge extended performance 0w20 (the 0w because in canada we get down to -40 degrees in the winter) +
the best filter i could get on sale which was the mobil 1 extended performance m1c 153
it seems like both of these advertise like 20,000 km intervals but i assume it depends on vehicle and driving conditions
I know i picked a thin oil (w20) but idk its hard for me to move away from manufactuer specifications so my main concerns for my oci are the following
1. i live in a small city so all my trips are short short city driving strictly with idling, i dont really make many long trips tbh (rip my battery)
2. in the winter it gets really cold, i always plug my block heater in but still (i tend to idle a bit extra in winter to warm the car)
3. our summers get super hot like near 100f
as long as the oil doesnt shear i am willing to run as long as yall recommend
so what do you think a safe bet would be?
thanks!
