What’s the hyper lube do?Coworkers 1972 Ford LTD convertible with the 460 I believe.
Out: unknown and napa 21515
In: 1qt hyper lube and 5 quarts Valvoline FS 10W30 and Napa Gold 1515
He has a real bad tick so we changed his oil and turns out he had maybe 2 quarts between the pan and filter. The filter wasn't even full, it didn't drip as I twisted it off. The oil was nasty as well. He only had 500 miles on this oil change so we're thinking the shop that did it last either didn't change it or under filled it cuz it shouldn't have gone through 4 quarts that quickly. Runs way better and the noise is gone now that it has oil in it.
This was the first time I worked on a classic car and I couldn't find the dipstick or how to open the hood and felt like a dummy lol
We were trying to fix the ticking but now I'm fairly certain it was caused by the low oil. Next time it gets changed I'm gonna have him forego the additive and just use all oil. It aint gonna hurt nothing and it'll get put away for winter soon so I'm not worried about it.What’s the hyper lube do?
I don't think your Camry's four banger would have been the least bit picky with any synthetic oil you picked. I had a 2017 Camry XLE and loved the motor.2017 Toyota Camry 27,288 miles 5,000
Out: 5 quarts of Mobil 1 0W-20
Off: Mobil 1 cartridge filter
In: 5 quarts of Castrol Edge 0W-20
On: Mobil 1 cartridge filter
Had about 2,000 on the oil but it has been awhile since it was changed I think close to a year and so my dad said go ahead and do it. We were going to put Mobil 1 back in it but all of the Walmart stores were completely sold out of just about everything so the Castrol was our only option besides Royal Purple. But it’s a great oil I like Castrol so I’m sure it will be fine we were just keeping the same thing going in it because it was doing fine. I think the oil capacity is actually 4.8 quarts but I have a hard time stopping on time lol.
So is your co-worker going to complain to his last oil change place? Three or more quarts low in 500 miles? Not too likely. And how dirty was the old oil?Coworkers 1972 Ford LTD convertible with the 460 I believe.

He's just gonna have me do his oil changes from now on lol. The little bit that came out was very dark and very thick so we're thinking they just never changed the oil or put a new filter on and sent it on its way.So is your co-worker going to complain to his last oil change place?
