Replying to: minkle44 (Mar 17, 2009 12:12 pm) We could all chime in here with our own opinions and experiences, however, they won't (or shouldn't) mean much to you. Why? Because whatever oil and filter we happen to be using in whatever car(s) we happen to own (or lease or borrow), driven however we happen to drive them, and in our own unique driving environment, will have very little relevance to any given oil and filter used in your car (whatever it happens to be), driven by you in your driving environment.   The best advice; pick an oil (any oil) and a filter (any filter), try it for a while (say between 5,000 and 7,500 miles), and then send a sample off for Used Oil Analysis (UOA). What you get back WILL be relevant to what you're doing and what you're using.   Keep us posted.   Best regards, Shipo

Replying to: minkle44 (Mar 17, 2009 12:12 pm) "assuming around 10K oil changes"   Just make sure you're within the manufacturer's oil change requirements if there's still a warrenty involved. And I'd be surprised if folks who regularly change their oil and filter, regardless of type, will have much to tell. Do that, you won't have problems.
