It was up then down for a bit, but no coolant leaks and the system is full. Took it for a good tester spin right after the change and towards the end of the run, this is when it came on...then off. A few hours later, went for another spin and it did not come on, even with some harsh acceleration...

It can't be much, from my guesses. If it takes ~ 1 quart to go from empty to full on the dipstick (which covers around 25-30mm of range), then 1 mm seems like a pretty small volume. I will watch it and see what comes of it. Funny thing is now that I changed the oil, my low coolant sensor light...

Hello! Did my usual oil change and added a bit more than I should have this time around into my 3.8L V6 Grand Prix. Cold oil level shows it about 1 mm or so above the fill mark (where the hash marks end). Should I be worried at all? Manuals mention overfilling is bad (which I can understand)...

The XD3 is a 4x4L package....I believe the Mobil is in a 6x1L configuration...and the price is not insignificant as I mentioned earlier 8-) Do I read from the cSt figures above that the XD3 is slightly thicker? Does this translate into better protection, or not? All things considered, the XD3...

A block heater is a given up here 8-) Factory installed by default on any Canadian vehicle from what I recall. It seems to me that the XD3 is winning the war; if nothing else, the much cheaper price would allow for more frequent oil changes over the Mobil for a given constant $ budget per year...

Can we assume that the XD3 with a slightly thicker run will offer more protection or is that relevant? It will be a year-round oil, and will be exposed to +30C down to -35C or so...we only see the real deep freeze at the -35C area for about 3 weeks total in the winter, so it is not that bad -...

At least the Canucks get one break 8-) Does Mobil (I assume they do) add extra friction modifiers to squeak into the "Energy Conserving" class over the XD3? One would think both being the same V-range (more or less) that they will perform the same. I was shocked at the difference per/L when I...

I have two choices here for my new '05 Subaru Outback H6 engine....help?! Going to 0W30 is a given, as we are about to enter the deep cold here (-30C) in a few months, so that is a no-brainer. My dilemma is the choice between these two fine oils. I use the XD3 0W40 in my diesel Jetta with...
