The 10W30 is ACEA A3 rated, rare for a _W30. That means it hold visocsity under HTHS 150C test. Would this be a good thing in an engine that is hard on oil. (2.7 chrysler).

There is the 5/30 newer car formula. THen there is the 10/30 full sythetic high milage formula. It states formulated with special additives to keep engine cleaner and so on.

I was wondering if this oil by defition would have a strong additive pack. What makes it high milage. The 5/30 (new car formula) has shown to be a little weak.

My vehicle is a 1998 chrsyler concorde 2.7 with 70k on the odometer. It has never gone more then 3000 miles between oil changes and I have ran auto rx twice. I have yet to pick a steady oil. I am low a quart after 1500 miles but do not leak or burn visibly. I was thinking swithing to max life...

I have a freestyle. I wonder if this cvt fluid is good stuff.

I just got a oil change on a new car. I asked walmart to put a supertech filter if they had one. They ended up putting a fram on. Will this protect me fine for 3k or should I swap it out myself early.

I have toyota "world standard" in the transmission. It is very expensive I hear. Is there a aftermarket synthetic fluid that I can use to replace. It says on the dipstick no need to change unless towing. I may tow very lightly.

I have that tow kit also which was a good value. I like the idea of mobil 1 it the front and rear diff. The dealer was trying to tell me I need to change the tranny fluid along with the front and rear diff every 15K. That seems overkill. Although I may change out once at around there do get out...

Thanks for the responses. What milage are you highlander drivers getting on the highway. I am leaning towards either penzoil or mobil 1 syn 5w/30. I may pick a good oil filter and let walmart change it for me while I double check to make sure everything was done right. I am afraid the dealer...

Hi, I have a new vehicle to think about. It is an awd. What do you guys recomend for tranny, and front and rear diff. as far as oci and fluid type. thanks

Hi, I have a new vehicle to think about. It is awd with the 3.3 v6. What do you guys recomend? Is this sludge prown. I will be doing 3K to 5k oci.

I went with 3 oz maintance dose and napa 5w/30 conventional oil. I am trying protect engine and prevent sludge. I have the infamous dodge 2.7 liter 58k no sludge detected with original auto rx treatment.

Will this be an effective oil. Protection wise.

Also is sludge from condensation, water junk in oil. LC would get that out?
