listed below are all the vehicles i maintain, along with the oil and filter and oci. They consist of friends and family members. Opinions welcome as to if I should be using a different combo for a particular vehicle.

2008 Honda Accord 2.4, M1 AFE 0W20,(going to switch to AFE 0W30 year round) Bosch D+, 5k
2013 Kia Soul, M1 EP 5W30, OEM Kia filter, 6-7k
2003 GMC Sonoma 2.2, QSGB 5W30, puro classic, 3k (short tripper)

2012 Chevy 2500HD 6.0, PU 10W30, Fram XG, 7-8k(or OLM 5%)
2006 Ford Freestyle 3.0 Duratec QSUD 5W30, MC FL820S, (OLM 10%)
1999 Lexus ES300, Maxlife 10W30, Napa Gold, 3k (leaks a good bit, Aunt cant afford to replace gaskets right now, leaks even with maxlife, hence the short oci)

If you are dealing with a leaker. Use the cheapest oil you can find in spec Change the filter every 6 months or so.

Does Bitog have a database or sticky on latest tech sheets?

Edit: sorry posted in wrong thread.

Could try some AT-205 for the leaker....

You're using a Bosch D+ for only a 5k mile OCI? Why so short? Or do you change it every other OC?

 

[mobilaltima]

i change it every time, habit. i never use a filter more than once.

Your doing good with the lexus. It does need changed frequently it on the known sludger list.

The bosch D is overkill for 5k, running it two intervals is a great idea provided the engine has a clean track record.
