The Titanium was a nice feature however, most oil companies do not use it. I’m sure Phillips 66 knows what they’ve doing in their blending recipes.

Well, no one said they didn’t know what they’re doing. What was said was I wish they didn’t get rid of it.
but yes, if it’s still fantastic without the Ti, no reason to add it in with extra costs related to it.

My sig.There’s always Castrol.
It has run great on 0w-20, 5w-30, and now 5w-20. Now, because this oil is not a full syn I won't be running the full mm. But, we ran a full syn last time and didn't run that all the way down either. This car actually developed a very light varnish on a full MM run of PPHM (0w-20) so I've pulled back the intervals a little bit since then.
FWIW, her last Honda ('14 CRV lease) had warranty engine work done. (VCT actuator). I'm the one who took it to the dealer for her, and never once were oil records requested. It wasn't even a topic of conversation.

How did fuel mileage fluctuate? Or didn't it?
Nope, if there is a difference it is so small as to go unnoticed. Which I'm not surprised, isn't the theoretical difference something like at most 1%?
Interesting. I ran VME 5W-20 in the Ram for 7300 miles and didn’t have to top off, whereas I did top off (1qt) with Redline 5W-30 after 6K. FWIW.
Makes you wonder why any manufacturers even give a rip what oil their engine gets...

Realistically, between GM, Ford, and Chrysler, is there a real statistical difference in their standards?
This is for an elderly lady at work who doesn't trust any of the local oil change places. I told her what to get at WalMart, she brought the goods to my house, and I gave her a free oil change.
2006 Dodge Dakota 4.7L - 7000ish miles / 15 months on the oil
Out - who knows, but the filter was an orange Fram without the grippy stuff, probably from a Jiffy Lube-type place.
In - 5 qts SuperTech 5w-30 Full Synth, 1/2 qt ST 5w-20 HM Full Synth (she didn't buy exactly what I told her to), and a SuperTech ST16 filter.
She took the other 1/2 qt and is going to check in the morning and top off if need be.
What I told her to buy:
1 5qt jug of ST Full Synth HM 5w-20
1 1qt bottle of ST Full Synth HM 5w-20
1 Fram XG16
Regardless, she should be good to go for another year.

Most of the Fram with no grips is what I’ve seen used in the Walmart auto centers. I know that’s what I’ve pulled off the cars serviced at Walmart.
That could very well be! It's one of the only places in town that changes oil.
Sister's 2005 Ford Explorer w/V6 at 186,758 miles:
OUT: Union 76 5W-30 & unknown filter (She doesn't know what they use, they don't list it on the sheet.)
IN: Same thing
Local auto & tire joint she trusts for all her work. Rotated tires and replaced right rear brake bulb.

2013 Ford Explorer, 120k oil change (every 5k). Motorcraft FL500S and same oil out.
I will be selling her in a few months for an expedition hopefully. I just couldn’t not change the oil and filters though!
