We didn’t find anything too out of line here. Universal averages show how metals should look after about 6,DOO miles oil use. Your engine made average metal readings after just 5,000 miles on the oil, but that’s not really a problem because not all engines wear exactly like our averages show. As...

What is the cheapest easiest place online to order PureOne Mobil One oil filters?

Quite frankly I've never kept cars for the long haul, but my 2006 Lexus RX330 might be the first. The vehicle has 45,000 miles and we are currently adding about 10,000 per year. I expect to keep it for another 4-5 years, approaching 100k miles. Still not old compared to many vehicles on here...

For a number of reasons, I am not in a position to change my own oil as many of you folks do. That being said, I prefer to bring my own oils and filter now that I am learning more and more about them. Can you suggest cheap(est) places that will do the labor and not charge me for their own oil &...

So if I want to have exactly 30 LBS in my tires when they are "cold". My internal garage is 55 degrees but the outside temperature is 25 degrees. The car has been sitting overnight in the garage. How much more than 30 lbs do I put in so that when the car is outside in "operating temperature"...

OK, so now that I'm learning all about oil and engine care etc I'm trying to figure out which oil filter would be best for my 2009 LS460. I'm using Mobil 1 oil (0W-20) and want a filter that will go 10,000 miles. It seems that "you guys" like Pure One filters that fall nicely on the right...

I'm just wondering if we really know if oil is the decay product of dinosaurs. Seems to me we've been pumping zillions of barrels of it for over 100 years now and we know that zillions are left (but perhaps not enough zillions for our future consumption needs). Were there THAT many dinosaurs?

I started this as a new thread even though I posted this on page 2 of an older thread. I wanted to experiment with a 10,000 oil change and installed Mobil 1 5W-20 in my 2006 Lexus RX330. At 5900 miles on the oil (the vehicle has 41000), below is what Blackstone said. I'm disappointed and...

I live in Pittsburgh and my daughter goes to college in Atlanta with her 2010 Honda CR-V AWD. As she'll soon graduate and stay there, the car probably will not be back here again. Today was her first "non-daddy" visit to a car dealer (Honda) for a recall. So I told her to have them change the...

Why isn't there...or is there...a Mobil1 synthetic that is BOTH "Advanded Performance" AND "Extended Fuel Economy"? Must one choose?

I'm not buying a used car. But I have and probably will again. But wondering this out loud: How can one know the "already worn" damage on a used car. Such as the lease turn-in, after say 3 years, where the lessee never changed the oil. Is there a test to show the condition of the engine...

I'm new so excuse if this has been discussed here elsewhere, probably ad naseum. In easy-to-understand layman's terms, what is the difference between these two? I see the 0 oil advertised by M1 and others as "for use where 0w-20 or 5w-20 are recommended". Is that true? Can you really just...

This is a two part question. First, I have a March 29, 2006 Toyota TSB that says 5W-20 oil can be used on Toyota MZ engines. The TSB specifically specifies which Toyota models this applies to, including 2006 Highlander. But it does not list any Lexus vehicles such as Highlander's cousin, my 2006...
