I've been using Mobil One 5W-30 Extended Protection. OEM oil and air filters. Change every 5K miles or so. So far, so good. Of course, this is what the guy said at the 10th floor --- after jumping off a 20-story building.

I'm not trying to bust your chops, but I find it interesting that you state "Dino or synthetic makes no difference" and "No need to dump what the dealer used, Walmart oil is good enough"
Yet you only run Royal Purple pure synthetic 10W-30 in your car.
Walmart 10w-30 conventional is $11.44 for a 5 quart jug, Royal Purple is over 3 times the cost at $37.97
Why isn't the advice you give others good enough for you ??

I too remember when oil came in cans, and you needed a can opener, to put those triangle shaped holes on opposite ends of the can so you could pour it.
The cans themselves were a sort of cardboard, with metal caps on each end.

Mobil 1 10W-30 for ~$30 from walmart in a 5qt jug with an OE filter. I'll substitute a Mobil 1 Filter if I don't have time to get to the dealership. Mobil 1 gear oil for the rear diff too, and Honda MTF in the transmission.

I wonder if there is a way to passively aggressively post in a thread to complain about the quality of the posts, while adding no value to the thread?
That would be a unique and interesting way to post.
