I have a co worker who has been checking out this site after I mentioned it to him. He has an older ectoec based malibu that he drives. He lives close to work, (and takes lots of online classes), so he does not drive very much..I'd say he does maybe around 3k in 6 months or so, with most of it being city driving (a few miles of stop and go)
His plan is to use the Dexos blend 5w30 with a fram ultra for 6-8 months. I suggested QSUD for a few bucks more, but he says the 50% synthetic part is all he needs to protect his car. And with as good as PYB is, it's kinda hard to argue with that...
So, do you think he's got a handle on it? Or just bump it up to a syn for the short trips?
He asked me to throw it up for him, so here it is...
Notes-checked out the fill hole of his car, looks quite clean from the quickie lube GTX he gets normally. Good news is that he wants to change his own oil now.....car has about 80k on it now....
