Fyi: ive updated my OP organizing the info a bit better (I hope), added a few new quick thoughts like normal vs severe duty and more info on SAPS for a more complete definition. Ive also changed the reference from Dexos 1 to more precise Dexos 1 Gen 2 (my thanks to Emoto here). Hopefully the info serves the forum members well.
PS welcome any corrections et al. |

This was a awesome post ..based on my research and money value ...you can either go with a 5w30 or 5w40 esp oil and spend approximately 160-170 bucks with labor every 6 months with brings a grand total of 340 a year ...or go with valvoline mst 5w40 which about 110 for oil and labor 3 times a year grand total 330 ......so hmmmm fresh oil every 4 months or fresh oil every 6 months ..ill go with the valvoline 77 bucks at Walmart for a 12 pk vs 120 bucks for esp mobil 1 0w40 ps amsoil esp 5w40 is 12 bucks a quart

That seems like a good deal. Does Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP come in 5 gallon jugs yet?

This was a very helpful post; thank you.
Is there a best way to check the oil fluid level on our dipsticks? Parked car for 15 minutes? After parked for few hours? |

Basically 2 hrs is ideal. If not possible, then: "If unable to wait two hours, the engine must be off for at least 15 minutes if the engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if the engine is not warm. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it with a clean paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and check the level." |
