So is about time to change the oil again. WHile at Autozone i noticed RP was only .50 cents more than the penzoil platinum which i normally use. i was wondering what milage interval ya'll normally change your oil. Usually i try to stay around 4k.
Perhaps it would be better if you two put the other on their "ignore" list...
You both are very knowledgeable folks - and it's very clear you have pride in what you use and/or sell. I just can't believe the level of drama on this subject (which has been going on for quite some time).
Please work it out between you or stop posting each other... either way we don't need to see this.
My only real issue is the non-sense of telling people what to do based on opinion, no matter which oil it is.
Either follow the manufactures recommendations, that's what they're there for, or perform an oil analysis. That's the bottom line! Anything else beyond that, in this particular round, is just squabble.
Sorry about all this MrHemi. I just cannot tolerate misinformation.
I initially responded to your questions with specific info regarding RP oil and extended drain intervals. I actually use RP and have for a LONG time so I had good info for you.
Unfortunately in this forum it appears only one individual feels they are knowledgeable about oil and everyone else is clueless. I have tried to ignore this person but the insults and personal comments just get to be too much at times. Sadly I took this person's most recent "bait to fight" and this thread got out of control just as they hoped it would. I apologize to you for that.
I have removed all of my posts as a result of this and to end this fight. It isn't worth it. If you would like to hear my thoughts regarding your original question please shoot me a PM and I will gladly take the time to answer you in that way. Privately and beyond the eyes of others around here with an agenda.
Do you have a part number for the dual filter adapter? Tried to find it with no luck. What benefit is there in running 2 filters. Especially at $20 a piece.
If you want the bypass on a 5.7L the easiest to run is the dual. The first filter is a full flow like your oem, the 2nd filter is the bypass filter. Relocating it makes it easier to change filters when needed.
For the 05' the normal filter is a EaO42 which is a 3?4" - 16 thread and would require a BK295 adapter.
I can save you some money if you don't already have an account.
I use Mobil synthetic 10-30. Change it every 5k or so. Mayb 4k. Is this to much? I never read the bottle etc. I don't feel comfortable changing my oil every 25k miles. I would love that tho b/c my changes run me around 60 or so. Depends on specials.
You're doing okay changing it that often. I wouldn't go longer then oem because what you're running is most likely a "full synthetic" which is a group 3 petroleum. AMSOIL carries group 3's, but they're an entry level product for people that don't want to use 100% synthetic.
