Re: Engine Oil

My understanding is OEM Mtisu = WIX = Napa Gold.

TALON:
Napa Gold Filters (I run an RX-7 filter)

I usually run either 10W-40 or 15W-40. I usually run whatever synthetic is on sale, with the exception of M1 (I never run it because of lifter tick issues I've heard of). I have experimented with some diesel oils too like Rotella, and have nothing negative to say.

I change the oil usually right in the spring, then sometime mid/late summer, and that's usually it. Simply because it doesn't get driven in the winter, but it does see some abuse during the summer.


ENVOY/DD's:
Walmart Supertech Filter

Walmart Supertech Conventional 10W-30. Great bang for the buck, for a vehicle that's simply a DD and doesn't see a lot of abuse.

Oil Change is done appx every 5-7k miles as 3k is way too soon.
