Vehicle 1:
1) 1999 Chevy Malibu LS
2) 3.1l V-6
3) AC Delco PF-47 from Chevy Dealer
4) Mobil from same Chevy Dealer
5) Will change it before winter. Dealer put in 10w30 for summer use, I plan on going back to GM-recommended 5w30. Plus the car will be due for a change in about a month or so (3000 mile OCI).

Vehicle 2:
1) 2002 Dodge Dakota SXT Club Cab
2) 3.9l V-6
3) Advance Auto AA-16
4) Quaker State 10w30
5) Will also change before winter, same deal as Malibu except that I will stay with the 10w30 since that's DCX's recommendation even in winter.

Alex P. and opus1 and others using the AC Delco PF-47 oil filter. Do you know that you can use the same high quality AC Delco filter in a larger capacity in the PF-52? Then you can tell your friends you are using a Corvette oil filter on your GM V6!

1974 Volkswagen Beetle
1600cc 4 Cylinder

Mobil 1 15-50
I run this oil for the whole summer. I only drive the car in the summer. This is somewhere in the neighborhood for 3,000 miles

1986 Citroen 2CV
602cc 2 Cylinder
Wix 51352 filter
Mobil 1 15-50
I drive this car more regularly and the engine is of higher mileage than the Beetle so I keep it to 3,000 mile OCIs

1999 Volkswagen New Beetle
2.0 4 Cylinder
Mobil 1 M1-205 filter
Mobil 1 5-30 EP
I have done UOAs in that past and the OEM recommended 10k was good. I will keep on doing this mileage but with the M1 EP oil instead.
