    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.

    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

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    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

    K&N and Mobil 1 oil filters are no longer the same inside. Champion merged with Fram, and K&N outsourced their filter manufacturer to a company first in Korea, and now in China. Lots of reports of K&N oil filter quality issues since Champion in no longer the supplier to K&N.

    On a good note, Fram is using Champion's best oil filter as its own now, called " Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter". It is readily available at a great price at Wal Mart and Amazon. Auto Zone does not carry the Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter, they carry a old Fram line at the same price as the Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter sold at Wal Mart (don't buy the Auto Zone Fram filters).

    It is great news such a super quality oil filter can be bought at Wal Mart at a price much lower than mid grade filters sold at Auto Zone.
