My vehicle gets very few miles, Its a 4.7L Tundra, I like changing oil.
I know this sounds crazy, but I like wrenching on cars, probably because its not my everyday job, or I probably would get my fill of it, and I would feel different about it.
Even though I'm using GC and have a two year oil stash, I fight the urge to change it, I have 4 months and 3k on my last fill which is GC green.
So what oil would be good to run 3k 5 month oci that wont leave deposits, I used Pennzoil conventional 5w-30 for over 5 years and 30k for warranty purposes I was doing 5 to 6 months oci's, I noticed the yellow varnish even with those numbers.
I switched to synthetic at around 30k, After running first M1 truck and SUV 5w-30 then GC which is still in there, it is cleaning up very nicely.
Sooner or later I will run out of GC, or I mite decide to go back to conventional, or mix some conventional oil with molly with the GC, what conventional oil can mix with GC and not screw up by leaving deposits, I want a good clean oil, to do 3k 6 month oci's maybe even thin the GC slightly with a 5w-20 dino oil (I know they say 5w-20 is partially synthetic) anything but the yellow deposits of pennzoil, I know slight varnish has no effect but I know its there
and it makes me cringe when just knowing that my motor is turning yellow.
At the least it would extend the GC stash, and provide me with oil change opportunities
and please don't say get a part time at pep boys
Any thoughts welcomed, thanks
