What's the deal, and how many did you purchase?I found these at my local las vegas wal-mart for a buck.
All they had, 11.What's the deal, and how many did you purchase?
This is what I have settled on myself. Been using Amsoil for a while in my other rigs and bikes. Also thought Wix would be a good filter to add.Wix filter, Amsoil.
Pennzoil does not really differentiate the two with hard data other than use marketing terms of like "Extended Performance" and "Race Proven" with the Ultra Platinum. Seems to be marketed more towards the Auto Sport vehicle scene. What those exact extra margins are by going with Ultra Platinum instead of the regular Platinum, who the hell knows?Whats the diff between Platinum and Ultra Platinum, other than one being ultra
YOU WENT 50 MILES "BEFORE" CHANGING OIL???????? The HORROR..............................I only use the best oil filters, and only the best oil ever made. I also changed the oil at 50 miles, 100 miles, 500 miles, then every 2000 miles. Gotta get that break in oil out ASAP before all the metal flakes shred the engine up. Got to make sure this engine last for the next 2 years before I trade it in..........
And drumroll...... the results?I use Amsoil. My first oil change for engine, diff and transfer case was at 1000k (621 miles). Had an extremely bad experience with my last vehicle (2017 Tacoma) so this time, if I was going to seriously UPGRADE my vehicle and go with Jeep, I was going to have more of a “hands on” experience with it and take care of it myself. Took the first oil samples to the lab and a “trace of glycol” was found in the good ol’ factory MOPAR oil. Thanks guys for your QC efforts. Contamination at the factory isn’t a new concept but now that I’ve just done my 10k oil change, I’ve got a sample to go to the lab on Monday. If no glycol is found this time, then the build factory is using contaminated MOPAR oil. If it is found in the sample, then we have an internal engine problem. We shall see. Lab results don’t lie and it’s also proof I did my own maintenance.
