I use mobile one, I buy at Walmart and use oem filters
I run synth Mobil 1 or Castrol Edge 5W20, and a Mobil 1 filter, m1-110.
Changed yearly or if I hit the 16000-18000 km mark before that. I do change the filter every time instead of Honda's every other change interval recommendation.
Check oil level now and then.
The OEM filter does a damn good job for what it is. If you're looking for an upgrade go with a wix or similar quality. Check the micron ratings when looking them up cuz brands like mobile 1 are not as good as they used to be.
I drive an average of 100 to 150 miles a day doing deliveries. (Gen 3 2014 Plug In Hybrid) I do use Mobil 1 high mileage (label says protects up to 20,000 mi) oil and a Mobil 1 filters (packaging says the same for the filter) for my oil change. It runs extremely well! My engine feels great compared to the regular jiffy lube oil change! But I just recently came from Firestone last week while getting my alignment done and overall health check. I used to do oil changes every 5k but it was getting ridiculous changing every month and a half paying $70+ and the engine still feels exceptional. So with Mobil 1 HM I changed it every 8-10k miles. This time around, I topped off the last quart from my 5 quart bottle at 10K and will be doing my oil change at 15k. You can say I am pushing it a bit but I feel inclined to really test the Mobil 1 statement. But, back to Firestone, at the 11k miles of running the same oil. they gave me the news and said it’s still up to manufactures specifications and everything was good! It still runs great! If anything Mobil 1 really makes a difference and. But I’ll be changing oil every 8-10k to be on the conservative side, sure saves a heck a lot of money and not waste oil that’s still good.
Every 5k miles. Mobil 1 0w20. OEM filter.
Nice post, been using pennzoil platinum 5w30 for a while now and after seeing your results with valvoline I'm going to give that a try. Also gonna be switching to the wix filter instead of the usual subaru black filter to see how it goes.
Valvoline all round pretty much with the wix filter, i never plan ahead enough to order the oe filter
For the Oil Filter, I would recommend using either the Mazda filter or the Wix/Napa Gold aftermarket, as they are specifically built to meet the Skyactive engine's specifications.
I use Wix oil filter with every change. Decent price and is all metal with a good filter. Does the job and has never failed on me.
For the filter, the OEM is good quality and relatively low price. If you go aftermarket, the Wix filter (also sold as NapaGold) is one of the only ones specifically designed to meet the skyactive specs.
