And he's never seen a snow flake or an ice storm in southern Ca, but he insists on using 0w-20??

I am using Mobil-1 AFE (green cap) 0W-20 in my 2009 Honda Fit. The cap calls for 5W-20 so that's fine.
I am using AFE (green cap) 0W-30 in my 2007 Yaris. I don't think I'm going to go to 0W-20 eventhough the TSB says you can. The TSB is a little ambiguous. I always use a Napa Gold (Wix) oil filter. They are awesome and not overpriced.

0w-20 and 5w-20 grades only get a ACEA A1 rating, but the 5w-30 gets a ACEA A5/B5 rating that matches the Amsoil HP 5w-30 that I'm now using, but with the PP I'll feel a little better with the API approval on the front label. |

I went and priced some at ADAP (wal-mart was out of stock of all 5w20) and for castrol and Mobil synthetic they were $7.69 + 6.5% tax and Pennzoil platinum was 8.09 + 6.5% tax craziness..... |

exist in the public domain. You are making up data (74% of alll statistice are made up on the spot). Plus it doesn't matter, Our engine failed. My neighbors Rav4 has a bad engine rap also. He put QS higher milage in it and it didn't quiet it. BTW Silver, you have no credibility here amoungst educated adults. VW/porsche/Audi I suppose are the only ones smart enough to spec the A3/B3. signed: +/-3 sigma |

No way am I putting PP in my oil! Urine has poor lubricating properties.

After researching LubroMoly I noticed the 5w-30 had good specs, but was a syn blend and not API approved, so I bought a case of LUCAS thinking it was API approved. Not using it in my Yaris, but already sold 6 of them to a guy in a Chevy SS Impala. After too much thinking on what'd be best overall, made up my mind on Pennzoil Platinum for it's good UOAs, API appoval, ACEA A5/B5 ...I know the AMSOIL HP probably wasn't API approved because it exceeded the API rating, but for safety's sake I'll make the switch to PP. Number's wise, looks good, but I'll let you know. After running the AMSOIL for 5K, I'll see if I notice anything strange happening with the PP. |

had tried the 5w-20 for the liftback and could hear a whining noise at highway speeds so drained the 5w-20 ( PENNZOIL Platinum ) and installed the 5w-30 using SHELL full synthetic . Now , no noise . Timing chain , other ?

So what was your reasoning for putting 5-20 in the car? |

Ok, so I will be buying oil in a few hours when I wake up.
But as for Wix and other oil filters, I see two or three part numbers. Can someone please tell me a few "good/excellent" oil filters for use with probably royal purple on my yaris sedan with the part number next to it. This way I can buy it and change the oil myself at my friends shop. Then I will reset the maint Req light and end that for the next few thousand miles. Thank you everyone. |
