10 quarts of oil?

10 quarts of oil?

LOL only used 6.

 

[AutoMechanic]

LOL only used 6.

Oh good LOL. I was going to say 10 quarts of oil gets expensive really fast lol. When I need 6 quarts I always just buy one 5 quart and a single quart because when I get a hold of one of those big bottles I tend to pour it all in the engine instead of stopping.

It is kind of a pain to take 1 qt out of a 5 qt jug. However I bought several years worth of Magnatec 5 qt bottles for $5/each. Single qts were also $5 so this was a no brainer! I will be extracting 1 qt from the big bottles for a long time...

Now that is the way to do it. I haven’t found any Magnatec on sale just the GTX.

One local Walmart has been selling it in 5 qt jugs for $1/qt. Not real close to my house but I stop by occasionally to check the oil shelf and sometimes they have a few jugs. After today I am down to 14 jugs

I like using HDEO on the Trailblazer since it comes in gallons, you use almost all of it then have quart for top up. It's kind of ridiculous how the 4.2L has a larger sump than the V8s.

2003 Civic 1.7
out: 93% Pennzoil HM 5w-20, 7% Motorcraft Synth Blend 5w-20 (using up leftovers)
in: Supertech Full Synth HM 5w-20 SP

I wanted to switch to ST Full Synth HM 0w-20 for this change, but they only had one 5 qt jug left of the 0w-20 and it was the SN stuff. Decided to stick with the 5w-20 this time since it was the newer SP.

Interesting … seems the system did the math …

 

[cos]

Yep, the OLM seems to work quite well.

 

[blufeb95]

Was the last time you changed the oil about a year ago?

 

[cos]

My last oil change was on 9-3-20.
I'm guessing that GM got quite aggressive with the OCI algorithm after the problems with earlier 3.6 "high feature" V6s - very long OCI intervals, oil consumption and ultimately timing chain issues.
