My Toyota V6 @120K does not consume oil and has been getting a 5K OC and a XG9972 Fram Ultra @10K. I am interested in preventative maintenance on the piston oil control rings. I asked Dave the following:
Response:
If it takes 12 months to go 5000 miles, i would put it in somewhere 30-90 days before the 5000 miles
I would recommend instead to invest in a higher quality engine oil that already contains components to keep engines clean.
Interesting response.
What is the recommendation for adding hpl ec before doing an oil change? For a 5K oil change, shall I add it at 4K, 3K or 2K miles? The car has 120K miles and does not burn oil and I will do a near 20% ratio.
Response:
If it takes 30 -60 days to go 5000 miles - i would go the full interval.Your question does not have sufficient info to answer as it only contains a proposed mileage interval but no mention of the length of time it will take to accumulate 5000 miles.
