I started buying AC Delco, probably now made in Korea. Anyway, 9 years in my Kia Spectra, 7 years in our rarely driven ‘02 Accord, has another in there from a year or two ago. One that was in my wrecked Cobalt, still works but is sitting. Now one for the Cavalier that had a two year old premium Everstart. The place I get the AC Delco batteries from sells a lot of them so they refresh their inventory. And they are also cheap with my business account. Was $120 for the last one, got the better option they offer. But most have been under $90. Although prices have gone up everywhere throughout various product. Just saying, for whatever reason they have been the only ones I didn’t have to warranty out every 2-3 years. Maybe I’m just getting lucky with them for the last 12-13 years. But I got tired of SuperStart and Everstart batteries that I used to go for. Duracell had been good in customer vehicles.
Pros: lasted 9 years, lasted 7 years, don't need warranty
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
Pros: engines happy with age
I run AC delco. In all my years of Squares, I've only had one fail
Pros: reliable, rarely fails
My rec would be to find somewhere that sells AC Delco Gold batteries, that's what I use at my shop and they usually have a very good 42mo free replacement warranty and they're great batteries. As long as you don't buy walmarts brand, you're good. I've replaced like 8 Walmart batteries that were less than 6mo old in the last two weeks. No idea wtf those guys are doing.
Pros: great batteries, good warranty
Cons: Walmart batteries fail quickly
I ended up going with a Ac Delco one with the double gaskets. No complaints
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
I recommend nothing with platinum. I've had problems with those in my 1980 gbody with a 305. I just keep it simple with old ac/delcos now. Keep it simple for less problems.
Pros: simple, less problems
Cons: problems with platinum
Worst batteries I've ever had the misfortune to buy. Both died within the space of 3 months and wouldn't put out any power whatsoever. No matter if I tried to charge them, it made no difference.
Cons: died within 3 months
The only ones I can find are the ACDelco’s (which I don’t want bc they suck)
Cons: poor quality, suck
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
WIX. AC Delco used to be my go to for gm vehicles but some years back they switched out metal parts for plastic and the filters started to have a higher failure rate.
Pros: WIX is good
Cons: higher failure rate, plastic parts
