Changed the oil in the Corolla today with these products-
(my filter was M1-103 as I recall)
I don’t feel like changing the oil in the winter, or paying someone to do it, so I’m going to put it to the test. Expensive oil change for sure, but if I can run it 3x as long and do 3x less the work, it’s cheaper in the long run. Will be running it 15K miles and sending it to Blackstone.
9.xx a quart, and 13.xx for the filter. Call it 55 bucks after tax.
Let’s compare that to a normal oil change…
4.xx a quart, and 3.xx for the filter. Call it 24 bucks.
So, considering that I run ‘normal’ oil in the car for 5000 miles, and if I can run the Mobil 15000 miles, it’ll save money. Of course, that leaves the question of how far can you run the ‘normal’ oil. Even if you’re breaking even on cost, it’s cutting your workload/disposal in half.
With all of that said, I don’t mind (and actually enjoy) the work, but my garage(s) are occupied for the winter and I don’t feel like doing it outside, or paying someone.
$35 or so to change the oil in mine. It takes 8 quarts so I buy two 5 quart jugs because its cheaper than buying 8 quarts. Fucking Walmart keepings jacking up the price of oil too. Motorcraft oil used to be around $12 or $13 but now its over $17 and a filter is almost $3 these days.
I’ll update it when the time comes. There will be some make-up oil (the car uses oil), take that for whatever it’s worth. I’ll only top it off with the same oil,for testing purposes. Any other time it’d be the closest/cheapest thing.
