I just drained out some lovely black oil, which I can't even remember what brand/weight it was, for some Havoline high mileage 5w30 and a SuperTech oil filter (ST16)
Wonder what you guys think of that oil/weight/filter for an LHS that has about 130k miles.
It's my dads car that I take care of from time to time, and he said it use to burn about a quart of oil, so I switched to using 5w30 or 10w40 high mileage oils that I would find on special. I think the old oil was Pennzoil HM 10w40. Sure seemed to clean things up. I drained 5 quarts, so doesn't seem to have burned any oil.
The Havoline was only $14, filter was $3. Hope that combo makes for a nice sub-$20 oil change on a strictly A to B type car.
PS that car has FREEZING cold AC. LOL
