Factory Japan black filter, and I'll be doing it twice a year. It's not my DD and prob won't even get 3000 miles a year on it.

Yeah, this is my first vehicle that i'll be doing the oil changes myself and wanted to gather as much information as possible so I dont mess anything up. I heard with Motul 8100 eco-lite, you can go up to 5k or 7500k for an oil change. Know if any if that info is true?

@slizoth You left one MAJOR brand out...Eneos. That's what I use. Eneos 0W-20 SUSTINA. Just drove out to Virginia from NY roughly ~330 miles. I got 34.9 MPG. I really like the way this oil holds up and the great reviews. Only oil my 86 will be getting for the rest of its days.

P.S.- I voted store brand...there was no other option.

I have used Kendall GT-1 Synthetic Blend 0W20 and it is an excellent product. There is something about the Titanium. It runs quiet, smooth and peppy. The blend and the syn have identical numbers, although the full syn is no doubt capable of extended OCI's over the blend. The blend is $4/qt at the distributor. It may be that the blend, with this price, this viscosity, and short OCI's with a factory filter and a regular dose of SI-1 type product, is a good choice for your maintenance plan.

just did a change with amsoil signature synthetic 0w20 - http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...?code=ASMQT-EA

pry have less than 1000 miles on it. was at track day and did 7 30-minute sessions. no cooler, temps got to 279. sending to blackstone to see what they say.

I've tried Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w20 and liked it. Recently switched to Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus and love it. If you've seen the world record Hennessy Venom GT they use that oil. So far so good, my engine seems to be happy.

Prob am posting in the wrong thread, but it doesnt make sense to start another thread for my silly question.

Google has told mr its ok to mix different brands and/or weights of engine oils.
But which would be "safer"

A: Mixing same brand but different viscosity (5w30 + 5w40)
Or
B: Mixing same viscosity (5w30) of different brands (Liqui moly + Amsoil)


Getting an oil cooler installed and installation instructions mention to top up, but i cant find the same oil in 1L bottles..... Oil is almost brand new and it would seem a shame to waste it.

A or B??

Amsoil Signature Series 100% Synthetic (ASMQT) 0W-20
Im big on amsoil products, found out about the company a few years ago, and ran their oil in my TDI, it ran smoother, quieter, and reduced that diesel knock to near nonexistence,
its on the more expensive side i think, but its very good quality oil and worth every penny to me,
I use their transmission fluid and diff fluid, and i think theyre both are awesome products as well

i think it's no big deal either way. i'd pry do B myself.

This is a very solid decision on almost all levels. ASM has very high initial TBN, along with the most robust of additive packages. It is among the very thickest 0W20 oils available. It would be noteworthy to learn how long it would hold up with GDI boxer engine. In high quality motor oils, TBN tends to hover at around 2.0 for a long time. TAN can be deceptive. ASM is a marathon runner and one of the best oils money can buy.

Haha amsoil suggests the oil can go 15000miles I believe, I'll be changing it at 6000KM (Canadian) and I already have my Blackstone bottle here to send in a sample, I'll post the UOA, as well as the next one for comparison, and probably all the ones following that actually lol I'm very picky with my maintenance schedule/products used, and would like to see how well the oil is actually holding up 👍

[sickmint79]

i've heard although the oil may that filters still should be changed themselves.

note i just sent in some of the amsoil 0w20 to blackstone after 279 degree track temp sessions.
