100K Oil Change I just hit 100K over the weekend, and I was planning on getting the oil changed this week, but I'm wondering what would be the best oil (brand/weight) for the job? |
Valvoline Max Life, 5w20 or 5w30. 5 wt% moly (highest of the common oils) 22 wt% synthetic Best oil around for the price. Since you have a few more miles on your car, your engine rings and all that are nicely broke in, you can go to a little heavier oil in the warm temp region, so 5w30 would be fine. 5w20 still isn't a bad choice, keep in mind that if you do a lot of highway driving (which I guess you do since you have 100k already) 5w20 will give slightly better MPG than 5w30, we're talking maybe 0.5-1 highway MPG better. |
do they sell valvoline max liife '5w20' at places like pepboys, autozone, or kragens too? I see 5-30's but haven't checked for 5w20 maxlives yet. |

I'll have to grab some max-life this weekend, thanks Jrfish007. |
your original post makes it sound like you haven't changed the oil yet. |
yeah, I want some of that 100k oil, must be really pricey. Does it increase your hp by like 300hp as well? That would be awesome if it did. |

I'll be at 103K by the end of next week, Lots of gas and lots of miles, but still runs like a champ. |
Whatever you've been using to get you to 100,000 miles will get you to 200,000 miles, don't change a thing. Assuming you change your oil regularly of course. |
