Looking for thoughts on what I should be putting in my vehicles.
The first is an 07 Chevy Equinox 3.4L with 180k miles. It has a small oil leak then doesn't leave any spots on the driveway, but I can see a damp spot when I am under it doing a change. It is driven about 90% of the time on the highway with a 2.5hr daily commute. I change the oil when the dash notification comes on, but that is usually between 6k-7k miles. Manual says to use 5w-30.
The second is an 08 Dodge Avenger 3.5L with 80k miles. No mechanical issues. 95% highway driving. Daily commute varies from 20 to 2hrs. Manual says 10w-30. Oil is changed when the light comes on. That is anywhere from 4k-6k miles.
Looking forward to seeing all of your thoughts and suggestions!
