HM oils vs HM oils

[aquariuscsm]

Which of these high mileage oils would be the pick of the litter,and why? Just curious about these midrange oils I guess, and I don't hear a whole lot about them like the current trendier hm oils. Friend of mine has an 02 Odyssey with almost 300,000 miles on it and she's always used GTX high mileage oil in it. Engine is so smooth and quite that you honestly can't tell it's running.

Quaker State High Mileage Synthetic Blend
Castrol GTX High Mileage Synthetic Blend
Pennzoil High Mileage conventional

Use the oldest oil first

Well, looks to me like the GTX, since you already have some kind of proof that it will hold at least one vehicle to 300K.

Used the one which is cheapest or find sale or clearance .or try all see which one make you car smooth and less noisy

Not familiar with HM oils, but I did read somewhere that the principal difference was seal swell additive. If that is correct, then HM is just a plug for leaks.

I agree with others. Sounds like they already have a proven comb that works, why change now? Is there really much of a price difference?

No true I use HM oil every now and then especially when I can get it like the current oil I'm running this OCI for $4 a Jug.

I personally like the Quaker State High Mileage Syn blend for its price point and nice shot of Moly. If I was to pick out of the 3 HM oils you posted.

Not sure why your friend may want to move off-of GTX HM. It's been a terrific marriage thus far.

Use the GTX. If something goes wrong during this OCI it WONT be because you used a different oil.

You know what they say about no good deed?
