Oil and Oil filter. What do you use?

[Nick M]

I have used Penzoil Plat 5W-30 for years now.....NAPA Gold filter (same as Wix).

x 2

will be running rotella t6 15-40 this year i believe is the weight.

Gravity has nothing to do with it. Do you live in Socal or someplace warm in the winter?

The old days when Pennz had a bad rep are long gone...

Not to the retards in this industry.

redline 5w30 eneos 5w30 and castrol syn 0w30 with a carquest blue(wix) filter or a bosch. they dont make castrol syntec anymore its edge now *shrug* bought 0w30 syntec for 1.40 a qt... got half a pallet >=)



. not sure why anyone would want to run rotella... or any 40 weight

$1.40 a quart?! I'd buy almost any oil for $1.40 a quart, if nothing else it can be run in lawn mowers and such.

wondering why anyone would choose to run rotella?

napa gold, carquest blue = wix cq is almost always cheaper to boot (wixfilters.com you'll see napa uses last 4 of the wix number and cq replaces the 5 with an 8)

Im running JoeGibss LS30 synthetic (5w/30) with Wix filter. Besides fatory Toytota, I will only run Wix at this point. I had been using Baldwin, but the last can was so thin only 2 rotations of the cutter had it apart, and the only Purolator Gold I ran had the sealant not affix itself to the endcaps and filter media and actually was oozed down the side of the pleats, and not impressed with the bent metal for a bypass spring used. For years any wix I have cut open is solid, and the same quality throughout.

Because it's a very good HDEO. Can be a bit rough on the catalyst though.

yeah =/ for why!
