I have a 2001 Honda Accord with ~ 75,000 miles on it. Have had it for 3 months. I bought it from a girl who I think really tried to maintain it great. Problem is that she would pretty much only go to Wal-Mart for oil changes and they used Castrol Bulk 10W30. Car calls for 5W20.
I have run one OCI of 5,000 miles with Havoline, 4 quarts of 5W20 and 1 quart of 5W30. I have two cases of 5W30 I need to get rid of. I guess I will end up selling it or giving it away.
Anyway, with Advance's buy one get one deal, I bought a case of 5W20. Changed the oil last weekend and noticed an immediate quietening and the temp gauge was 2 clicks or so lower. Car ran a hair smoother and quieter.
The best part is an immediate 3+ MPG increase. Honest.
I had converted from Valvoline to Havoline and/or Mobil 1 for my vehicles. I used to run Pennzoil back in the very early 90's, but switched to Valvoline for 10+ years. I really like the way the Pennzoil Platinum is working so far.
