Post your latest oil change

[Auto tech]

What oil and viscosity did they bring? And did the code get reset and it never came back, or was the oil actually changed to get rid of the code. If so, what oil was put in instead? Can't just say it was the oil without doing more controlled tests to prove it was actually the oil. Any engineer who makes a self-monitoring system so sensitive to a few cSt difference in oil viscosity should be fired, lol.

You seem to really want to beat this thing to death. They brought 5w-30. As far as if the code came back I don't know. I verified the abs repair was correct. Cleared the codes and shipped it. My work was done. I fixed the customer abs prob, verified the fix, installed the 5w-30 oil he provided, changed the filter, did the rest of the service. Moved on to the next car. I did exactly what the customer paid for. I do remember telling him if the code comes back let us know. MY point was there were no oil viscosity code in history. He had always used 5w-20. He bought & brought 5w-30 by mistake. Asked if it would hurt I said no. After the test drive a rescan showed the new pending code for improper oil viscosity

Not enough controlled testing to know the real cause of the code. I'm betting he's not the only guy who runs a grade higher (or maybe even two) that owns that vehicle and never sees that code.

Done on the same day it was pure coincidence it worked out that way.

Nice choice of oil. When you eventually sell those cars someday you'll have a lot of extra dollars in your bank account than if you used some other oil.

Maybe but I have no intent to sell them. They will be sold for scrap when I'm done with them as thats all they will be worth.

127,471 miles - 5,667 miles on oil

Out: Mobil Super Synthetic 5W30 - Hyundia/Kia OEM filter
In: Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W30 - Pennzoil PZ-37 filter

I only asked for synth at my favorite indie shop and they installed PP Euro. Just another reason I love that shop. They also have PUP 10W30 on tap.

The outgoing Mobil Super Synth still looked good, did not smell of fuel, and oil consumption was down to a quart every 3,778 miles while keeping the level right at Full on the stick.
