alex37211 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Pennzoil dinosaur juice. $9 for 5 quarts Also, I mix it up sometimes topping off with 10-30 even though I filled it with 5-30 or 5-20. Is that okay to do? Also, I usually use 10w30 in the summer and 5w20 in the winter (thinner oil for cold starts). Is this a good practice? Cars in question are d15 run-around dd's. Nothing performance oriented or expensive or really anything I care too much about. However, I will soon be dropping in a B18c1 into "hatch 1". I would like to know which weight I should stick with for it. And before you guys say "amsoil or mobile one synthetic", I don't intend to spend more than 12-15 on oil each change.

Mixing multiweights is fine, it's only single weights that cannot combine, but no one uses single weights anymore I used to run 10w-30 for summer and 5w-30 for winter. There's nothing wrong with it. I went to 5w-30 year-round simply because I don't push my vehicles hard enough to warrant the heavier weight oil. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before you guys say "amsoil or mobile one synthetic", I don't intend to spend more than 12-15 on oil each change. why spend money on a swap if you want to use cheap oil/filters?? royal purple around here is $7.30 a quart but seriously if you dont want to take care of a motor.. dont do a swap.. it'll be a waste of time when i first got my sol i bought the cheapest crap i could find and then decided to take care of the motor and spent the money on royal purple and noticed a big change... i found this from royal purple on how often to change it: "Royal Purple recommends following the manufacturer’s maintenance intervals while the vehicle is under factory warranty. In clean engines that are no longer under warranty, oil change intervals may be extended up to every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Oil filter changes should be done as recommended by the filter's manufacturer and oil should be topped off as needed. In dirty engines, Royal Purple recommends the standard 3,000 to 5,000 mile oil and filter change interval until the engine oiling system is clean and free of deposits left by lower quality oils and / or poor maintenance or mechanical problems. This will allow time to gradually remove existing deposits without overloading the oiling system. " so basically i spend $40 or less on oil and a filter every oil change while you spend $15 every oil change soo going for the 12k miles they talk about... you end up spending about $45 - $60 or so on oil changes with your cheap oil changing it every 3k-5k and i spend $40 on mine with my better oil and one oil change.. i think im coming out better and taking better care of my motor while spending less p.s. i know people who have went almost 15k with royal purple before they felt they needed to change it(i wouldnt do that but hey they can go ahead) all you have to do is spend the money once or twice(depending on how dirty your motor is) to get the motor clean and awesome and then you get the wonderful long intervals between changes and im not tryin to be a b*tch.. just making a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
