Curse you, Bustedback!!! lol jk

I'd call it BS too, but back to the original topic.

I run 10w-30 Full Syn Mobil 1 high mileage with a Mopar Oil Filter. I wouldn't ever be convenced to use anything else, especially all these Rotella's and such with the myths about "ZINC DEPRIVATION FOR OUR 4.0" and such.

I would just like to encourage those in the argument to stop, I don't hold any real power on this forum but, you guys will never come to an agreement on this so just drop it. I am not taking sides on the argument, just leave it off this thread so that we can get some opinions as to what is best and not. As for those of you that have put in helpful info, thank you.

As for me I just changed the oil on sunday and I used 5W-30 Mobil 1 super conventional oil and a Fram Extend Guard oil filter. It was I think like 25 dollars for all at walmart

Watch this and I doubt you'll ever use conventional oil again.

I run valvoline when I went thru college they taught us that valvoline beside royal purple adds extra additives as it shows on the certification on the back others just get by regulations valvoline goes beond and adds extra additives check the back next time your at the store and to save money napa brand has the same back and certification as valvoline except cheaper and I use any filter beside the tough looking one that has Bedliner on the end they are weaker than normal ones

I don't know how well or not well it filters but when I was changing oil awhile back we punched the end to make the oil drain over night before we threw them away and those were always the easiest to punch thru that's why I stay away from them and to add to valvoline the max life has been known to stop leaks and prevent oil burn I have seen it with my own eyes at the lube shop and have used it a few timed I have no idea how it works but I know it does if it swells the seals or what
