Was Motorcraft just trying to standardize across an entire platform of vehicles. The Motorcraft FL500S is a great filter to be sure just shocked at how small it is on a F150 5.0. Doesn't its size severely restrict how much media element they put in there and how long it can last. I like big...

Ordered a Mopar Air Filter from Amazon. Its authentic, not questioning that but reading a label on the mopar air filter box and it is 07/09/12. Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy that the filter is 8.25yrs old but suppose I am overthinking it and they have a very long shelf life?? Just feels wrong...

Vs QSUD 5W-20 Base Stock. Or no way to know.

Looking to blend Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W-20 & 5W-30 together in a ratio that will essentially yield a 1W-29 oil (9.2 cst). Will QSUD OW-20 & QSUD 5W-30 play nice together as they are from the same family (thinking add packs etc will be similar, etc.).

I hear those that are against using 5w30 state that newer Fords have tighter clearances. But then they never advise what the old/new clearance difference are. I do not know much of clearances but would be most interesting to find out. (1.) Is it verifiable that ford clearances have...

Is it possible/probable for 5w 30 to throw off VVT in a 5w20 specked vehicle ? Is whatever controls VVT really that sensitive to such a slightly different weight. Cam phasers. Would be using 5w30 in a 2015 F150 5.0 liter (35K miles). Likely Penzoil Platinum or Quaker State Ultimate, would...

Anyone have any recent VOA on Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 (PurePlus) wanting to compare it to platinum. Isn't Ultra probably just Platinum in a different bottle for the most part.

How much can oils with better MRV numbers reduce startup wear vs oils in the same with higher MRV. Say a one with 10,000 vs 15,000 MRV in the same grade. Understand there would be better wear numbers or some advantage at low temps but would there be any significant advantage or wear...

Longevity aside is there any difference between these two substantially add pack or otherwise. Liking the PAO of 0W-20 EP but considering going with Mobile AFE 0w30 vehicle specs I can use xW-20 or xW-30. Currently using M1 EP 0W-20 Is the 0W-30 AFE just loaded up with a bunch more viscosity...

My vehicle states 5w20 is the recommended oil but 5w30 is also acceptable. Will run 0W20 for the winter, love the low MRV (9200 at -40C) and can get down to -15F where I live. In summer thinking I will run 5W30. Know 5w20 (0w20's) are stout oils, just cringe at running it on 100F days when...

Laying Longevity aside: Trying to discern what the difference in the formulations between these two product lines. MSDS on M1 EP 5w-30 looks like some PAO / Group III MSDS on M1 0w-30 looks like some PAO / GTL / Group III [ note can only find the MSDS on M1 0W-30 ] [ cant find on M1 0W-30...

If you look at foreign MSDS listings they have to apparently show things by percentages. Shows M1 0W-20 Extended Protection to be 60-70% PAO If you Look at the Canada MSDS on Mobil 1 0W-20 Go to Mobil 1 MSDS website Link below. Plug in Canada. This is probably old news to some but if this is...

Saw it available for a very very shot while on Walmart.com but now it is gone (new I should have stocked up). Now it is unavailable at walmart.com (why was it avail for a while, must have found 10 cases in a back room warehouse ). You cant ever find this stuff actually in stores anymore...

Couple of years ago, new vehicle. Told myself don't go with Pennzoil Ultra it will dry up on the Walmart shelves and it will become a [removed] to find the 5qt jugs (at any of the Walmarts). Then I told myself, hey you can just order it online at walmart. Worked for a while now they are out...

As previously promised. Both are neck and neck with each other when you consider on the synpower it was likely still breaking in somewhat. I do like how the Ultra maintained Viscosity better. Code: Synpower first column 4947 mi run from approx 5k mi to 9k mi. Ultra second column 4805 mi...

Previous uoa on synpower 5w30 5,000 mile run (4k to 9k mi on vehicle) had only 1ppm titanium. Now on 5,000 mile run on Ultra 5w30 (9k to 14k on vehcile) showning 7ppm titanium. Everything else looking good tbn 3.2 100c viscosity 9.7 Will post UOA soon. P.S. where is a good chart for common...

Bought used car. I know after a while if trans fluid has been ran a long time you really should not change it. I am kind of in that grey area. Bought a use 2006 Pontiac G6 3.9L with a 4T65E 58,000 miles GM trans with Dexron VI being the factory fill. (1.) Leave it alone (2.) Cycle new fluid...

Example: Clean trans fluid is a very light pink color, wipe and pull the stick a number of times but still very very hard to determine level even in bright sunlight. Could one drill extra holes in the stick or something. Thoughts or other ideas? Repost of topic, used incorrect wording in...

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2189573 Now have Ultra in and will likely UOA at another 5k as well. I bet it will wind up in 9.1 to 9.3. What do you think. Honestly cant remember if the Synpower oil was from the end of some old stock I had (2-3yr) and...
