You literally adhered to typical HM jug recommendations on first-use of HM oils beyond 75k.
Perfect timing. Those jugs never lie BTW. They are 100% infallible in knowing that 75k mileage is the most important number in vehicle engine care.
Amazing what oil producers know these days..
Or maybe he liked the color of the bottle. Or the way EPHM just rolls off the tongue. Maybe it could've been on sale. It could've been the last bottle on the shelf in the entire store. Or maybe it truly is that he decided it was time that he run a high mileage motor oil. At any rate, who cares? It's the same price as regular Mobil 1 EP, and it's been discussed time and time again on here that you can run a "high mileage" oil at any mileage on your engine with no adverse effects. So why not just keep your passive aggressive, condescending thoughts to yourself? This board has too much of this (it's not just you), even if the poster thinks they are trying to prove a valid point. He didn't ask a question, or contemplate whether or not his engine actually needed a "high mileage" oil but he's going to do it anyways because why not. He just stated what he changed his oil with, so why are you coming in here making fun of him for changing to a high mileage oil at the recommended time as stated on the bottle with your sarcastic statements?
By the way, it was you who said that house brands oil don't clean as well since they don't mention cleaning abilities on the bottle. So which is it, does what's written on the label matter or not?
