2005 Toyota Highlander 2.4L. Had since new. Its only seen "regular" M1 5w30 and has NEVER used a drop in its life. Currently 55k miles. OCI of 2500-4500 based on time and severity. Many trips are short. Blackstone reports about every other OCI with favorable (average or better) results. Filter...

My first Honda SUV. This will be a DD for the wife with about 4k miles per year 90% in town, short trips. Wondering the following: 1) How long to go on break in oil? I was planning about 2k miles. 2) What filters do you guys like for this vehicle? OEM? 3) What oil / OCI would you suggest for...

Ive owned this 4 cylinder, 2wd Toyota since new. 90% of its life is short trips around town. Probably most less than 10 miles. Oil analysis does not look to good since I have started tracking it. I change the air filters (cabin and engine) regularly. Trying to decide what oil to change to next...

I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander with the 2.4L. I religiously change the oil every 5k with Mobil 1 (5w30) and PureOne filters. Until recently that was about every 4 months. Currently it has 28,000 miles on it. We picked up a 3rd car and now don't drive it much. Im coming up on 10 months with...

I have a new Audi S4 (4.2L v8) that holds 11.2 qts of Mobil 1. The oil was changed in July (per my "free" service) at 3200 miles. My next "free" change is this July. Currently have 6500 miles and will probably hit about 8500 by July. Most of my driving is city. A few trips more than 15 miles...

I went to change my oil today and could not get the filter off. Its got to be the worst location ever for a filter due to the fact that you can only get a socket type wrench in there and my plastic one was slipping. I put new oil in, so I can drive it, but all I had was Mobil 1. I want to take...

Not even sure who makes aftermarket. Wondering what the experiences have been. Thanks!

All, My VW 1.8T gets carbon build up and sets of various codes so I have been putting in Techron FI cleaner about every 10k. I have read/heard that many people only put this (or any other cleaner) in right before an oil change. Does the use of a product like this contaminate the oil? Thanks for...

I have a 2002 VW Passat with the 1.8T that seems to sludge up. I use M1 0w40 and a "big" OEM Mann filter and change every 5k. I recently used Blackstone for my first test at 32k on the car. Everything came back fine except the viscosity was on the low side (just under the acceptable range). My...

Please accept my apologies before anyone yells in my direction. I understand we are all full of facts and opinions. Just a "simple" question for you all. I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander 4 cylinder that has 5100 miles on it. I recenlty switched from Castrol GTX and a Toyota OEM filter to M1/M1...
