What type of oil and oil filters do y'all use?
 

I've been using the Castrol High Mileage oil for quite a while now and have had very good results. It's a part synthetic. This oil change I used a microguard filter cause it was on sale and I figured what the hell? Why not?

What have y'all used, and what do you tend to stay away from?

Yippie...another oil and filter thread.

Never mind then! I'll go kick rocks instead

Could a moderator please delete this thread? Thanks

Everyone is bored with this topic. Been beat to death a million times.

Better luck searching and reading prior post than adding another mind numbing thread.

This is this months installment of oil and filter talk...took 2 seconds to find.

High Mileage is junk oil. All it does is swell all your engine gaskets (to stop/slow leaks) but only leads to premature gasket failure.

But yes, search!

-Note that this study is a little disingenuous on surface area/filter size which he gets hung up on as the YZZD3 filter is a V8 filter and he's comparing it to the V6 filters (for our trucks both 4cyl and v6 the YZZD1 is recommended)... For instance, he should have been looking at the YZZD3 equivalent Purolator PL20195 instead of the YZZD1 equivalent PL10241...

Note that when able, you should upsize your oil filter. So go to V8s that run the YZDD3's and see what recommended filters are for them. A budget option should be the Purolator PL20195.

But yes, search. I think most of us would rather an old thread be brought back from the dead and its wisdom be included than to reinvent the wheel...

Another great resource for all things oil related is:
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/motor-oil-101/

Everybody has different opinions about oil, but that website gives the most scientific approach to oil and filter choices that I have seen, and clarifies a lot of common misconceptions. A lot of the major article and forum writers are scientists and chemists that work in the motor oil industry.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a ton! That's great

There are like a million threads on this. Four Wheeler magazine actually did a test on filters on a 22re. http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/en...arison-fodder/

Ton of threads on this. I use Delo oil and Wix filters. I like the Delo because it has medium detergent action and I raised using Wix filters. I don't like paying astronomical prices for oil that have formulas that aren't available when my truck was made. I guess I'm just a simple guy and like simple straight forward products.

oily stuff and something that filters said oily stuff
