i'm using Wix. i've read good things on here about them so that's encouraging

i emailed amsoil and they said they were getting the eao filter for my car in april but i didn't feel like waiting even tho april was close. i figured it wouldn't be available @ the beginning of april but i was wrong. will be using the eao filter next oil change.

3. Mopar 090 OEM Filter (Walmart closeout for $2 - usually use Napa Gold 1085)

5. 1000 more miles/1500 total (ARX clean phase) - Normal OCI 2000 miles (doesn't get driven as much, so based on 6 month intervals)

1. 2002 PT Cruiser Dream Cruiser edition
2. 2.4l "World Engine" 4 cyl
3. Napa Gold 1516 (oversize made for Turbo edition)
4. Castrol GTX 5w30 (for ARX, normally old Havoline, but am going to move to MaxLife Synthetic after ARX)
5. 900 more miles/1500 total (ARX clean phase) - Normal OCI 5000 miles

1. 2004 Dodge Neon SE
2. 2.0l 4 cyl
3. Napa Gold 1348
4. Castrol GTX 5w30 (Considering Pennzoil Platinum after bleeding down the GTX/Havoline stash)
5. 60 miles more/2000 total (Want to try the new Havoline this weekend, since I have some in the stash) - Normal OCI 3000 miles (still under warranty)

2005 f150
5.4 liter v8
motorcraft (not sure of the model#)
mc 5w20 6qts. m1 5w20 1 qt
3000 miles




3k mile OCI's with this oil (combo)???
you must really consider yourself "severe service"
MC can easily go 5k if not more.
 
1) 1995 Acura Integra LS
2) 1.8L B18B1 4-Cylinder
3) Napa Gold 1334
4) Valvoline 5W30 + ARX
5) So far I have ~2100 miles on the oil, and ~600 miles on the ARX, so after the 1500 miles are up, i'll be changing it and beginning my rinse phase. For the rinse phase i'll be using standard Valvoline 5W30 again, then after ARX i'll be using Havoline Synthetic for 5k miles.
