Question on Synthetic Oil

[KCFLHTK]

You cant go wrong with a Mobil 1 product.

I read what you posted on the other thread, and you left me enlighten with what you said. I didn't know about the grade when it came to oil. But I'm sold on the Mobil 1 that you use, being it grade IV. Threads like this not only help, and inform the people looking for that answer, but also gives us knowledge, so as a consumer we don't get had. Thanks for the info, there is always somebody with the knowledge. I need to ask you kman. What oil filter do you use? Hey Kman, is the M1 that you talking about on the O'Reilly flyer?

They might carry the M1 0w-40. You'd have to go in and see. Every store is different.

As for filters, I've used a bunch that I listed earlier in this thread. I'm currently running PureONE filters by Purolator. They were on sale awhile back on Amazon for $5 and Purolator was running a $2 rebate so I got them for $3.

I was thinking off a k&n filter, their washable right? How's the Royal purple working out. Seen any improvements?

No not the oil fitler, air filter yes, oil filter no.

I run M1 oil and filters in all my cars, and I go 10k+ between changes. I drive 50 miles to and from work everyday, so no worries about unburnt condensation for me. I change the oil at 5k in my Cobra, only because it sits for longer periods of time, and gets driven harder (track passes, etc). I don't mind paying a little more for my filters as I believe they are far more crucial due to the components in them.

I run Amsoil synthetic and have been since I got my tahoe, 10k+ drain intervals and I use Amsoil filters too.

Is that what came with the truck, or you had them replaced?

No.....it's an OBS.....put new front ones one the day I got the right upper and lower ball joints replaced (bought those at NAPA). Did the rears a few months later with Monroes I bought off Amazon. The truck had the original shocks on it at 240,000 miles.
