Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

I dunno. Does the media deteriorate over time or does it still work the way it intended? I assume synthetic fibers remain intact but this one is synthetic blend.

I wouldn’t at a certain age like 30 years but 15 years doesn’t seem too bad. I’d run it. I have no information to back that up. Just what I’d be comfortable with as long it looks fine and isn’t rusty on the metal.

The XG's (OG) are not a blend.

Kirkland oil a few weeks ago and Super Tech filters for my Toyota today and Fram for the Subaru today as I was near a Walmart. Planning to change both by the end of May.

This one is pre-OG and the box says synthetic blend media.

Yeah, it's not. It's a "blend" of synthetic medias, not a "blend" media, a bit misleading and needlessly confusing unfortunately. I don't recommend C&P'ing it (I'd use it!) but it is the two shades of pink media that you would see in an OG.

Good to know! I'll run it on the next OC!

I’m tossing my extended guard 3614 on Dakota real soon. I’m not scared.

My wife's S60 has been drinking oil for the past year. So this weekend I bought 2 jugs of Valvoline R&P and I have my fingers crossed...

 

[Motor oil rookie]

They are very fast. I was expecting next week. They also saved me a whopping $3.35

I don't have a picture but I just bought a gallon of 15w-40 supertech for my small engines. 4 stroke string trimmer/ edger, push mower, sons' go-kart, and my riding mower. I use 15w-40 because I live in Florida so the oil gets hot in all these air cooled engines, I prefer lower VII oils due to reduced risk of heavy shearing, and "think oil make monke brain less worry." Hahaha

Bought some filters and trying Ravenol for the first time. Everything is made in the EU too which is good.

 

[53' Stude]

Real deal quality filters. Bought them from great member HootBro

Oil for my TJ, my truck and my wife’s grand Cherokee. Not bad price for 3 vehicles worth IMO.

 

[aba4430]

12 quarts of Castrol motor oil at a decent S&S price of ~$26.50/6X quarts before taxes. Two 5-quart containers of Mobil 1 0W-30 AFE as well.

I just grabbed another jug of ESP 0w20 since it’s on sale right now at Canadian Tire for $43.99 ($31.46 US) and I got $5.04 back in CT money as well

must be the best oil due to being Dexos. I have seen the thread, dexos is the best ever made. /s

I bought a jug of Castrol EP 0w20 at Walmart for $25.97 on 'Rollback' last week.. It's the 25K OCI oil but I'd never go that far on any oil. I'll probably use it in the Mazda CX-30. It may not be a 'boutique' oil but it's a very good oil at a very good price IMO.

Hitting three AZ's got 14 of these in the picture … 18 singles of M1 AP too …
and a smaller stash of VME + RGT

Just ended this era - but still have 3 engines that benefited from the AZ sale …

 

[MurkyAsparagus]

1 Gallon of ST 15w40 HDEO for my mower. It burns a little bit and I don’t feel like running the expensive Rotella T6 anymore .
