The BITOG taboo special - Royal Purple. Across 4 vehicles. 5000-7500 miles (depending on vehicle) or 1 year, whatever is first.

Careful now...the lynch mob will come at you with torches and pitchforks.

My old 1.6T Veloster used to enjoy edge 5w40 more than anything.

Frankenbrew 50/50 Mobil 1 5w30/ Mobil 1 TDT 5w40 I my 6.0 Chevy LS engine with Fram Ultra filter. Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 in my Ford 3.0 Vulcan V-6 with Fram Tough Guard filter.

Amsoil SS 5w30 with Amsoil filter, OCI 7500 or one year whichever comes first in 2019 F150 3.5 EcoBoost.

Slickery and gooey I had that problem before.. just not with a car engine.

we need more reaction emoticons.. I have no idea what to even say to that post.

on topic: I use PP 5w30 in my Jeep TGDI 2.0L it meets the required ms-13340 spec. Usually use fram ultra filters. about 4000-5000 or aprox 3x a year.
it gets short tripped all winter 2 miles. with some longer weekend drives.

The elantra port injected 2L gets whatever i have around 5w20 or 5w30 with oem filter. 2x year. or @aprox 5000-6500 miles

I'm sorry you have no concept on how to humanly and tactilely assess how an engine responds to a particular motor oil. Or maybe its not important to you. Maybe it is splitting hairs that don't need splitting. My UOA seem to indicate that "slickery" or "gooey" make no difference. Maybe you would prefer the terms "weightless" or "overly viscous" But a good automotive professional listens to his or his customer's engine - just as your PCP listens to your heart sound and chest sounds. And then possibly writes a prescription for improved quality of life and health.

You must have the world's most advanced and precise butt-dyno. You should probably be on lease to F1 and NASCAR teams with those skills.

Castrol or Valvoline or Royal Purple are always my go to’s also Pennzoil is good

Using VWB 5w-30 on the civic and caravan for this summer. Then I have some Valvoline synpower 5w-20 to use up first on the caravan before using my stash of PUP.

M1 EP - 7,000 mi (I'm uncomfortable going longer on a TGDI)

That 3.5 EB is an awesome motor, it could use some Castrol EDGE 0W-40 love

 

[Black Thunder]

I don't own any DI engines but my parents have a Escape with the 1.6 ecoboost and been running Castrol Magnatec or Edge and I think one interval of Valvoline Modern syn about 4 to 5 k

My brother has an f150 with the 2.7 eco that he was using Magnatec in but recently switched to Havoline full syn 4 to 5 k

My dad recently bought a 2015 f150 with the 5.0 (is that a DI engine?) Which will be getting Castrol Magnatec or Edge or the remaining Valvoline Modern Syn

My 2016 Civic is the Earth Dreams 2.0L non-turbo GDI 4cyl. I’ve been running Mobil 1 AFE 0W-20 with a Honda A02 filter for 5,000 miles. The first owner followed the Maintenance Minder and used my dealership’s bulk synthetic 0W-20 (makes sense; they leased the car new).

My 2010 Odyssey has the old-fashioned PFI non-VCM 3.5L V6. I run Mobil 1 High Mileage 0W-20 or 5W-20 with a Honda A02 filter for 5,000 miles.

Nice and simple.

Where do you buy Schaeffer's from? Amazon's prices are ridiculous for that motor oil. I'd like to try it

2006 Toyota Tacoma 4 cyl, 2010 Ford Focus, 2015 Ford F150 2.7 and 2018 Ford F350 6.2 gas all have Rotella Gas Truck because at $2.00 per qt plus the rebate I can't think of a better oil.
