What oil(and filter) do you use?

[Obsessed]

When I get my Impreza STi I'll run AmsOil

Quality product. We run it in our big trucks.
25,000 mile intervals. Same trucks that never see dirt can go 40,000 miles between changes.

Just not sold on it in high rpm cars/trucks

Been using valvoline and fram for many many years.

This thread reminds me of a story.

A guy called in to a radio station in Atlanta. Commented that he had put 1,000,000 miles on his Toyota car. When asked about what oil he used he stated Castrol.

Two weeks later be called back in. Castrol heard about his comments and gave him oil for life. To service his all his vehicles. Current and future.

Radio guy asked him what Toyota did. He said he hadn't heard a peep from them.

Lol, knowing toyota quality they probably would have to give out 30 free cars a year.

Synthetic pennzoil?

What ever Ford and GM put in it.

 

[YankeeVol]

Probably gonna switch back to Mobil 1(for the truck). It's cheap at Walmart and more convenient than ordering AmsOil.

Mastercraft on the filters? I think

 

[bamacheats]

Olive oil and tampax sport.

$240 for a case. I understand it's for race engines, but that's steep for even race blend.

Right!? Mobil 1 5W-30, 5qt - Walmart.com

That's online price but I think it's like $2 more in store.

 

[volinbham]

synthetic all the way - cheapest insurance there is

 

[YankeeVol]

Mobil 1 Extended Performance. $27 for 5 qts

 

[vol_in_ar]

$45, for an Oil Change and Tire Rotation today at Firestone

 

[YankeeVol]

Synthetic or conventional?

 

[vol_in_ar]

Conventional...
I've only used Synthetic in one car, I had a Porsche, prior to having kids and ran Mobil 1 in it...On those you only changed the oil every 9,000 to 10,000 miles and it took 9 quarts...

I have the Denali's changed every 5,000, with just conventional 5-30

 

[YankeeVol]

It's $65 for a oil change and tire rotation. That's with Mobil 1 Extended Performance and K&N HP filter.

I buy the oil and filter separately. Then it's $18 for an oil change and rotation at Pep Boys

Saves you about $10 buying the oil and filter yourself.

Are you really going 15K on the Mobil 1 EP?

I personally wouldn't take any oil no matter what additives they've put in it past 5K. That's just me though.

 

[YankeeVol]

Saves about $30 at Pep Boys.

I plan on going the 7,500 my owners manual suggests

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Really not impressed with the bosch. When I replaced it after 5,000, it looked bad. The pleats looked mangled and looked a lot more worn than other filters.

I went with Ford Motorcraft this time. It's as close to oem as I could get on amazon.
