Dealer used Pennzoil for oil change

This was mine not too long ago. Just did an oil change and switched to OEM after reading up on it.

 

Do you all really think all these oils all come from different corporate owned oil wells?

 

Super clean engine bay though, that’s nice to see.

 

they prob. just had a roll of Penn. stickers on hand and used bulk no name, recycled vegetable oil from the hamburger joint.

 

The Ultra is a damn fine filter. As for the regular Orange Can of Death? My father in law insisted on them on all his vehicles that I serviced for him for many years. Never an issue.

But to untrigger some of you....



M1 and Fram Ultras are my go-to filters. Whichever is on sale.

The Egg got the Ultra today.

 

My crazy neighbor runs 10w30 in his Camry that calls for 0w20 and it runs just fine. I am sure you'll be okay but you better tear down the engine to be on the safe side!

 

Again?
Throwing this shit out?
We had this discussion once already

 

The top tier for most brands is good, it’s the cheap stuff that people have a problem with.
I just don’t care for the internals of the orange FRAM.
I get whatever the parts store deal comes with that week. STP last time. After buying the truck, on my first oil changes I used Motorcraft because I got a good deal on a pack where I used to work.

 

For what it’s worth, I have a 2005 Corolla that has 268 k miles on it and I run Non synthetic oil
Usually valvoline and a factory filter
The motor does not burn any oil and is ultra quiet while running. I changed the oil every 3000 miles from day 1

 

You do realize Fram is the number one selling oil filter world wide? Must be something to that.

 

CAFE pushes the thinner recommendations in The States. Those same engines in other parts of the world are spec'd for a variety of weights. I sometimes use 10w30 because of the reduced viscosity modifiers vs a 5w. However, it actually depends on what Meijer has in stock and what's on sale.

 

Now Mike, you know I never pass up an opportunity to trigger a few in yet another oil thread.

 

Oh I know

Cheap is cheap.

 

Thread does not disappoint. I just can't believe we're on page 4 of this damn thing.

 

Oh...it's still young. The Royal Purple and Amsoil people haven't even shown up yet.

 

Careful boys. There was a spark plug or oil change thread a couple months back that appeared to have gotten yanked and my only guess is it was due to us degenerates here trying to get it to 10 pages.

 

yeah I’m confused too. I still have my factory oil in my truck and I’m at 110k miles. What’s this oil change people speak of?

 

Is there any way the mods can create a separate area of the site, call it the “Garbage Pail”, and put all the oil threads there?
