The 5/40 oils

Is this a “thick vs. thicker” thread? 🤣

If OP drives more than 12k mi per year, I think he’d probably save money in the long run installing an Amsoil BPK (@Pablo) with the 110 size filters to add a few quarts of capacity, and changing oil & BP filter at 12mo intervals. Certainly won’t cost any more than the current plan @ 3k intervals and arguably provide better operating conditions for the oil…

I agree… 🍿
 
Not sure that anything (any oil brand or weight) is going to stop oil consumption at 300,000 miles. Even so, in most cases, the car falls apart around the engine.
It will still consume some, but far less running a good euro oil its entire life and keep the oci to 5k miles. I don’t believe in long oci. Oil is cheap
 
? For the OP: Where does the oil go from those 750 mile drains? That oil from a new engine has to be almost “new” itself. I hope it gets drained carefully and in one of your other vehicles or maybe a friend, family or neighbors car.

Maybe ditch the first one with wear material in it, but the following dumps are good to go!

Goes to the recycler, then picked up from waste oil company, back to refinery, cleaned, turned into fuel oil for ships, asphalt, etc. I know bc I used to pick up waste oil.
