On my 2008 XB I've been running synthetic (M1, PP) since about 50K mile (currently @ 124K miles) It currently burns .5 quarts of oil every 1K mile, so doing my 5K mile Oil change interval I'm adding 2.5 quarts of oil. Would I do better off going to a quality Dino oil in 5w30? I currently run...

We just got my wife a 2015 Corolla S. The factory oil change interval says 10K using only synthetic 0W20 oil. I'm trying to convince her to just do them @ 5K with Mobil 1 and Wix filters instead of dealership (I don't mind changing oil). Am I being overly paranoid? Or should I just let dealer...

Hi, Just got a 14 Nissan Pathfinder. It comes with the VQ35DE engine. The dealership gave me 3 years of free oil changes every 5k miles. I talked to one of the service advisor today and asked what kind of oil they use. He told me it's a synthetic blend 5w30 that meets all of Nissan's...

My wife's 2008 Scion Xb currently has 114,000 miles on it. We've owned it since new. The first 35K miles or so it was Toyota oil and filters because it was free. Since then Mobil 1 or Pennzoil platinum in 5w20 and later 0w20. Almost always @ 5K OCI At about 80K miles or so we noticed that it...

We just picked up an Exmark for cutting grass at the house. Will cut about 6 acres a week. Our model comes equipped with the Kawasaki FX801V engine. It's brand new, going to run the factory oil for 5 hours (currently at .5 hours). Looking for a recommendation for oil for it to last. Here in...

I have a Ridgid 5700W generator with Yamaha MZ300 engine. Currently running Castrol GTX 10w40 oil in it. Right now I'm in the middle of a 96 hour power outage. Changed oil from the yamaha lube it came with and all i had on hand was Castrol GTX. The manual calls for 10W40 oil, what would be my...

ok so here are the results on my wife's 2008 Scion xB. We bought the car new. She had the dealership changing the oil every 5k miles with toyota oil/filter. I finally was able to convince her to let me take care of it. Put in Mobil 1 5w20 along with a purolator pure one filter. Going for...

Ran Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 with Purolator Pure One filter 9k miles on my 2005 Altima with the 3.5 V6. Total mileage on the car is 63k. Thinking about extending to about 12k miles on oil change interval based on results

I've finally convinced my wife to quit taking her 08 Scion XB to the stealership for oil changes. It has 55k miles, only ever seen toyota oil and filter every 5k miles. Picked up a jug of Mobil 1 5w30 and a pure one filter for it. Will it be safe to run it till 7.5k miles to send in an oil...

Ok so I asked to pick up some oil for me. Told her Castrol GTX 5w30, she brings home Castrol GTX Hight Mileage 5w30 because the guy at the parts store said it was on sale. I have a 2005 Nissan Altima with the 3.5L VQ35DE V6 engine. Currently 59k miles on it, no oil consumption problems of any...
