I bought a 2003 Ford F150 about 6 months ago. I had the starter(rebuilt) and flywheel replaced under warranty. A couple months back had the alternator replaced a brand new one. Truck usually starts and spins over real good no matter how cold. I have recently found out that when washing the car...

Would you use an 0W20 blend or would you go full synthetic? The Honda dealer says that is the recommended oil for the newer Accords with 4 cyl.

I assumed because 2 different dealers service depts told me the 0W20 blend was made by Mobil. Pretty sad they don't know. Anyone else uneasy with a 0W20 blend?

Just bought a 2012 Honda Accord 4cyl and the Honda recommended oil is an 0W20 Blend made by Mobil.

Just wondering if the quality for Hyundai and Kia is on par with the Toyota and Honda now. Internal engine parts on par? What about longevity vs Honda and Toyota? Is Mazda in the same league? Also what about longevity vs Toyota and Honda?

Bought a 2007 Hyunda Sonata with a 2.4 4 cylinder engine. Owner says he has always used synthetic but I noticed 2 oil changes at the dealership over time in the records which probably were not. I also noticed that twice during his ownership since new he used 10W30 when he changed oil in December...

Second oil change for a 2010 Civic LX Sedan. Drained PYB 5w20 and replaced it with Mobil Clean 5000 5w20 that was recently on sale at Advance Auto for $2.49qt. I know the 5qt at Wally World is cheaper but I prefer the quart jugs. The MC 5000 has the bigger opening and when putting a funnel in it...

2008 Civic changed FF at 4,865 with MC Semi Syn 5W20 and PureOne filter. 2010 Civic changed FF at 4,987 with PYB 5W20 and Honda AO1 filter.

My local WalMart has quite a bit of Ultra but only a couple jugs of PP and no PP in 5W20.

Dealer selling Honda oil at $2.70 qt. what would you choose between that and Mobil Clean 5000?

Don!t quit your day jobs.

I sent them some questions and never heard back. They claim they respond within 48 hours. I don!t know why companies put these things on their websites and then never respond. It makes me not want to do business with them.

"A neat technical tip is, when possible, always fill new oil filters with oil to prevent starvation on start-up,"

Miata04 Do you change the factory fill at 5000 too?

Here is a quote from a recent article " You can also think of an additive like a drug, it's got beneficial properties and side effects. If you push too hard on one property, it's going to hurt you somewhere else." I have found that to be true in other products and I wondered about that...
