Pick My Oil And Filter

[Sienna dude]

HPL Super Car 0w20, as you seem rich

 

[ProbeGT]

Obviously, 0W40 - it's the new 0W20.

I'm thinking this and BTW I enjoyed everyone's input.....

I have fresh Amsoil Euro 0w30 here
And I liked the Thailand made Denso OEM filter I cut open on here.

But I have a bunch of Kendall 5w20 with Titanium too

Thoughts?

Kendall with the Denso. Kendall doesn’t get much love here.

I have Kendal GT 1 Euro in my VW..
The only negative is the price really jumped up lately..

How much did it go up? I don’t ever see it at Walmart or parts stores around here.

They used to allow you to buy it direct and at a great price.
PSC online is the last place I bought it and Amazon has a few flavors too

Fellow Bitog Brethren
Thank you for your participation in this thread....
I changed the factory fill at 2854 miles just now. I went with some items I usually don't use..

I had some 5w30 SP QS Ultimate Protection and I figured I'd use it up as it was a one off bottle..

Next, new to me since the rework the K&N 1010 20k filter which 10k to me.. I will say filling up an Ecore is a breeze compared to holes or louvers...quick and painless...as you guys already know.

I was dreading removing the filter but to my surprise I did wrench it but it took minimal effort unlike every other new car which is a real fiasco to remove. My Maverick was horrific and so was the over cranked drain plug.

The filter was glossy and slick to tighten but I grabbed a coarse micro fiber cloth and that did the trick.. I do miss the Frams because of the grip provided..

Test drove it and no leaks or anything and I may have a long trip soon... about 3000 miles or so...

The old oil looked new and I'll cut the filter soon.

Castrol Edge EP or M1 ESP 0W-20 - both have MB 229.71 approvals. That's what I'm switching my wife's CX-90 to after this test with HPL.

Oh I forgot...
When you reset the oil life monitor it goes straight to 9 months or 12,200 miles.... the factory new setting was 6 months or 7500 miles...

I miss these threads...

2024 Mitsubishi Sport 2L NA..
2700 miles on it.. Ow20 factory spec

I have about every oil on Amazon and filters including RP and OG Ultra
I have 0w30 Amsoil Euro and Renewable Lubricants 5w30
Tons of Kendal old and new in all flavors and weights. Magnatec too.
Valvoline, Castrol, QS, PUP, Chevron, Havoline, etc.

I have no HPL however..

Any oil that meets the specs can't be posted....whatever is cheapest...nope..
Please explain why you would use your listed oil... thanks all...

Valvoline Advanced Syn and PENTIUS XL gets my vote.

The Renewable Lubricants oil is a very, very good oil that just fell out of favour here. Bio-synthetic Esters and PAO base oil and an add-pack including antimony. Don’t let the packaging ‘fool’ you; it’s the best oil you have in your stash right now.

I plan on using it the next oci with a OG Ultra from the glory days and running the filter 2 ocis...thanks

Had nothing but good results so far with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum so that would get my vote. As for the filter, a Fram Endurance would be my choice as it's what i would consider to be the new Fram Ultra and my Civic Si is still running like new at a hair over 300k miles running those filters..
