Ya on any car having a little bit more oil like half a quart more is waaay better than having a quart and half less. Too much oil is bad too but having less is worse.

Thats just cheating! Lolz...

I do too, but this was a write up for newbz...

I have the same Flo-Tool oil catch pan. Cap leaks on them, try to find a different brand.

Good write up. I forget how many pages it took us to teach you(SF9777) and which oil to use.

I use the entire 5 also, I have a small leak on muh pan. My car also likes to mark territory.

fyi for oil...

i know mobil 1 fairly well. having been using for years in all my cars.


for 1 our motors love mobil 1, run a tad cooler and happier.
2. don't use extended performance if youre dailying your car, it tends to make your motor run a bit hot, unless your WOT, then it keeps it cooler, but... it all depends how often youre WOT.
3 don't use highmileage oil ever. they put extra additives in it that eventually gums up your motor.

normal synthetic is your bestest friend.

Mobil 1 preferred

Hey thanks bro, ya i know it took awhile but i needed to know all the info i can get. Either way i learn something new everyday from this forum. Without you guys i would have not learned how to change the oil until like way later on.

Too bad i did not know mobil 1 was this good when we had our GP, i just started to use Mobil 1 EP on the SUV. Looks like im going to be sticking with this oil for a long time, Even at High milage it think i will still use the Mobil 1 EP. All you need to do is change the oil on time.

Also, for those who don't know, Mobile 1 has a high capacity filter, or what they call extended performance filters, for the GP I think it's M1-201. Almost twice the size Same price!

Anyways...

It says that it doesn't fit our cars which I expected but I just want to make sure if it does because I'd be mad if I drained my oil and the filter didn't fit

Very interesting info. Thanks for sharing !
