Default Re: engine oil

A big problem in many forum search tools is an automatic disqualifier for 3 letter words.

Ditto Ernie's comment, it is important to know what oil was previously used. Type, not brand.

IMHO, frequent changing is far more important that using some high falutin fancy oil. The engine does not run that hot, and does not go that far between changes. Sure, some additives might make a difference over 50,000 miles, but I question if there is a meaningful difference for the low mileage most cars see.

Detergent vs straight oil, big difference.
