I will be putting in some amsoil 10-30 probably this weekend depending on hurricane. How many miles do you suggest to run it to get a good oil analysis Dale?
Have you gotten a sample yet on the Amsoil 10-30 :?:MikeZ said:Okay Dale,
I got some fresh amsoil 10-30 in today so we can compare. I will pull a sample at 5k which shouldnt take to aweful long now that I have my new volant in!!! :twisted:
Valvoline is known to have the weakest additive package. If you want to use a non synthetic oil there are several available that have great additive packages and do well in oil samples. They are Chevron Supreme and Texaco Havoline. Both of these do excellent and are usually highly recommended on other oil sites.NC-TITAN said:I plan on letting the dealer change my oil and they told me they use Valvoline, would you use this brand or go with some other brand ??
I use the full synthetic Mobil 1. I use to use the M1 0W-40 but I can't find it anymore. I'll be using the new Extended Performance Mobil 1 5W-30 the next time I change it.NC-TITAN said:Is the mobil oil you use blended or fully synthetic??
Sorry for the off topic, but are you telling me that you got your truck in March of 04 and it is now April of 05 and you just put 3800 miles on it???? Am I reading that correct?TitanHauler said:I changed my oil today and took a sample that I will send to BlackStone in the morning. The oil sample will be of the OEM 5W-30W, run through an OEM filter, with 3,861 miles. I switched over to Royal Purple 5W-30W Synthetic today with an OEM Filter so after 3,861 miles or so I will have that oil analyzed too. I will post the results once they come back on this first sample.
I wish! No, total miles on my truck at the time of the oil change was 9,644. I had 3,861 miles on it since the last oil change.QWIKWHIP said:Sorry for the off topic, but are you telling me that you got your truck in March of 04 and it is now April of 05 and you just put 3800 miles on it????
