I’m saying the roll over potential is quite high there: CG+speed+distance - you have likely seen the trail roll overs - but this is one of many from a highway …
Surviving one at 85 mph? Dunno …

been making that trip 2X a year for many years...so far so good
but I get it..that dude did fall asleep at the wheel according to witnesses tho ( I think he even said that as had been burning the candle at both ends getting ready for moab)..One thing about driving a jeep at 80mph is you have to pull over often for gas and we are just going the speed limit so not like we are speeding....
5W30 HM and a Carquest EP filter to take advantage of the current AAP sale ($29.99 - $15 rebate = $14.99). This will go in the Odyssey at some point if I ever get to the bottom of my stash...
If you do this deal, scan the QR code on the paper sale flyer. The link on the AAP website takes you to the Valvoline rebate page but that is the wrong one; you need the AAP rebate link from the QR code.

I returned the unopened 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 Truck and SUV and picked up a 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 ESP 0W-20 for the 2025 Subaru Outback Touring XT 2.4T...this will be for the 2nd oil change since new and I used the same Mobil 1 ESP 0W-20 and OEM oil filter on the last oil change...thanks also to Glenda W, Buster and others on this Forum...perhaps I'll make the jump to Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 after a bit...
I had bought the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV as I was concerned for LSPI on a smaller DI engine with Turbo but it seems my concerns were misplaced...the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV carries a Dexos 1 Gen 3 certification that would address LSPI...if that isn't a real concern with this Subaru 2.4T I might as well use one of the better oils to stay in grade for my shorter interval oil changes...

I was at a Walmart in a smaller town and picked up an ST9018 and realized it appears to have glass fiber media so I picked it up, here it is compared to a cotton? (left) one I already had laying around. Although the date on the glass fiber one seems to be a few months older than the other.
Bought VR1 10W30 conventional at Walmart for the Tempest. Can’t beat the price. I always change oil before I cover it for winter. I’m only going to run it for a short time until I get a little work done in the spring. I’ll change it again to Penn Grade 1 or VR1 synthetic after that.

Now, that's my type of order!! Haha, my buddies and I do this once a year and it's always hilarious opening a RA box and seeing like 30 filters just laying there. I swear, it's not an addiction, it's not an addiction, I swear.

2 gal. of Mobil 1 Delvac ESP 5w40 for the boat.
1 Mobil 1-301A for the boat.
5 qts. of Valvoline Restore and Protect for the Camry.
5 qts. of Castrol Edge Euro 5w30 for a friends 2.5L swapped Miata.
I haven't bought any oil filters in a few months, I'm going through withdrawal, may have to order some soon.

Changed my mind. I’m going to return the VR1. I already have a case plus 2 quarts of Penn Grade 1 and one quart of LS30. I going to run the LS30 and 4 quarts of Penn Grade until I install an oil temp gauge. I cruise on interstates at over 3500 rpm for up to 100 miles. I’m now thinking of Mobil 1 15W-50 for the hot summer months. See what BITOG has done to me?

$10/5quart jug at Rural King works for me!
And a $1 “clearance” FRAM TG 3614.

I vote you cut it apart then run it !
It's like matchsticks - the ones that light up on a single scratch, I keep for later because I know for a fact they work.
