Motor

I used mobile 1 for the first two oil changes and noticed I was going through a quart every 3500. So I switch to Castrol Syntec and now I do not see any loss for 5000 miles (due for oil change lol).

Tranny - Honda MTF
Dif - Mobile 1 75/20?

 

Motor Castrol Syntec
Tranny + Diff Amsoil

 

im using motul gear for both my transmission and diff. 75 90.

when the transmission is warmed up, its like shifting through water

 

I'm surprised no one loves Pennzoil Ultra/Platinum...

Currently, I have Castrol GTX in engine, Honda MTF2 in tranny and Mobil1 in diff. I'm going to switch to Pennzoil Ultra/Platinum in the engine, Pennzoil Synchromesh in the tranny but leave the Mobil1 in the diff.

 

Change my fluids yesterday:

Engine: Amsoil Synthetic 10w30
Transmission: Honda MTF
Differential: Amsoil Oil Severe Gear 75w110

I'm switching from Redline 10w30 for the engine. Wanna see if this helps a little bit more on the burning.

Also switching my differential fluid from honda to Amsoil.

 

I'm something of a Pennzoil fan. I am using Pennzoil High Mileage Vehicle 10W-30 right now ... switching to Penz Platinum in the spring.

Engine: Pennzoil High Mileage Vehicle 10w-30
Transmission: Honda MTF II
Differential: Chevron 80W-90 ESI

I prefer motor oils with more moly and/or boron than Pennzoil currently has ... so I may switch to something like Chevron Supreme or Delo once my Pennzoil stash is gone.

 

I've ran Mobil1 in my previous AP1 and my current AP2. I noticed that it would burn a lot in my AP1, and just a tad bit in my AP2. Switched to Castrol Edge, after 5 years of Mobil1 use, and I'm very happy with it. Seems that there are absolutely zero signs of burning, and it has quieted down the engine some.


Engine: 10w30 Castrol Edge
Tranny: Honda MTF
Diff: LE1605

 

Engine: Mobil 1
Trans: Honda MTF
Diff: Mobil 1 75w-90

 

Here is what I run in my 03S:

Oil=Penn Plat 5-30
Oil Filter=Wix 51334
Trans=Honda MTF
Diff=Amsoil SG 75-90

You can do all 3 changes in about 1.25 hrs.

For guys wishing to stick with Mobil (not Mobile) 1 engine oils, you should seriously consider their EP or High Mileage formulas.

'Regular' Mobil 1 is a bit thin in each grade and its anti-wear add-pack is a bit weak ... leading to higher-than-usual consumption and failures of problem components.
