GreeCguy or Grease-E-Guy as it were, you have now been added to my watched users. We need some yin and yang here on BITOG and you are providing it. You keep writing it, I’m gonna keep reading it. Thank You!

Time to go for the decaf folks. It's an oil filter right? No need to make any of this personal. To the OP, thank you for taking the time to provide the photo's and info.

So you found motor oil and transmission fluid in the shed, neither of which you recall how they arrived there. I'm staying out of the advice section to suggest what you should do with those, I'm impressed that you are seeking good uses for both, but what I really want to know is: What the heck...

Originally Posted By: fdcg27 Out of the three, if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with AFE. If low temperature performace is your goal, AFE is it. If I could get a deal on any one of these oils, then that would be my pick. Use any one with confidence. The differences are a matter of degree...

Originally Posted By: deven M1 EP 0w20. Probably has the highest amount of PAO basestock. Somewhere on here, there was a discussion that the AFE actually had something better in the add pack and it actually seemed to be resulting in better UOA's than the EP but I'll be danged if I can locate...

Originally Posted By: A_Harman If you're willing to extend the oil change interval, go to the EP. It only costs ~10% more than AFE, but you can extend its use by 50% or more. The AFE and the EP are exactly the same price, hence the question. Seems like the EP is getting more votes. Thanks for...

M1 AFE 0w-20 M1 EP 0w-20 PP 0w-20 With the price being the same for these, is there any consensus of the BITOG brethren as to which is the better bang for the buck? I have used mostly the PP 5w-20 in the past without issue and one or two changes with regular M1 5w-20 but with the oil change due...

Mobil application for a 2007 Honda Pilot returns: Based on what you've told us, your vehicle manufacturer recommends a 5W-20 viscosity. A 0W-20 viscosity can also be used. We offer these motor oils to help protect your vehicle. Results are displayed from highest to lowest level of protection...

Until Pennzoil stops running these promotions with the codes printed on the underside of the caps, I'm boycotting them and using a different brand. Went to get 2 jugs of PP yesterday. Store only had 2 jugs on the shelf and one of the caps was already opened. No thanks. I've had very good...

I've owned several white block engines--but what does that have to do with anything either? The oil never gets up to operating temps in this car. The low-boost 2.4's do not have particularly high oil temperatures, either. There's no reason to us an A3-rated oil in this application. So, but...
