10 quarts of Mobil1 and a Motorcraft oil filter, FL-500s. A lot of the you ger generation love the new Pennzoil Platinum Ultra full syn, but to each their own. I change mine religiously at 5k on my '20 GT, I'm up to 20k miles, it's has the tick but it's sporadic and hardly noticeable to me.
I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic at Walmart for $24 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil filter for $11 ($12 for Mobil1 Extended Performance). So, $35 for a change plus Walmart's Tire and Lube will take the used oil (so will all part stores by me).
The extended performance of Mobile 1 or Castrol and I use the extended mobile filter.
Then replace at 10k mi.
Oem is pretty much everyone’s go to ( for good reasons ) but valvoline actually has an updated filter for our cars that matches oem & I’ve been using them for last 6 oil changes ( 30,000km ) & I’ve had 0 issues
DYI. Kirkland synthetic for $18 per 5 quart jug and $12 for a Mobil 1 filter.
Are you opposed to doing it yourself ? Reason I ask is because imo it’s the way to go. You can save $25+ and buy decent oil/filter. I’m at $47 with Mobil 1 oil and filter from Walmart.
I run Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance (high mileage oil, 75k+), and currently Wix XP oil filter. Car runs great at 67k miles and I have 0 codes.
I use Valvoline advanced full synthetic or quaker state full synthetic, and those oils seem to hold up very well (ive tried plenty of different brands) and you can buy it anywhere for top off oil. I have been interested in using liquimoly though. For filters, i use k&n, wix, or the nissan oem.
That kind of looks like it's coming from the oil filter cap. Did you use an oe filter and oring? I had the o-ring leak under boost when I used a mobile one filter with a defective ring. It made a mess sort of like that.
I dont think valvoline is using a quality filter with the required oil.
