I am gonna try it. Of course it won't last long in Rusty anyways.

You say that like it's the cars fault

Let me know when you want to find that oil leak and we'll fix it.

if you wanna help me with it, I'm game.

I seems to not be from the valve cover gasket, or the oil pan gasket, so somewhere inbetween.

penzoil platinum outperforms mobile one all day long, but hey, at least you're informed about your opinion.

Possibly next weekend if you're available, I have to see when the wife works though because three rugrats make it hard to get stuff done.

I've heard so many bad things about so many different oils....

I just stick with 6 Quarts of 5w30 Motorcraft synthetic blend and 820s filters... How can you go wrong with that?

That is all you need to know. PP goes into my Envoy Denali, and my Focus. Mobil 1 use to be the standard, PP is now. Same great taste, lower cost.

There is still about a million different opinions on there... Then you get people who are just trying to sell the stuff too.

I do see a lot of reviews on PP though so it must be decent

But then again there are a lot of people using MC so I'll stick with that for now. My car only sees 5k miles a year (not recently) so I'm not too worried about full synthetic yet

One of my instructors at tech told us that east coast oils(Quakerstate, Penzoil) are crap. But he also told us that he uses Walmart brand oil so what does he know, cheap bastard.

Oil is oil, Change it every 3000 (with filter obviously) and you can't go wrong.

Don't even start with me about synthetics either, they may not break down but they still get dirty.

Change it at 3000 and your engine will stay happy, period.

Exactly why you need to do an oil analysis if you plan on doing extended change intervals.
Bottom line is synthetic>conventional. Its still under $25 to do a synthetic oil change, if you do it yourself. Conventional oil might get you buy, but on a performance orientated/hard driven car....why wouldn't you want the proven extra protection, or even piece of mind that synthetic gives you?
