Scotty Kilmer Ive been looking at getting one of these frantz oil bypass filter systems ( reputed to extend oil and engine life etc..) do you think they are worth the money???

@Ray-hg3ie 6 жыл бұрын

Or you could get an oil analysis and really know when to change your oil. Take your regular oil and run it 20,000 miles and do an oil analysis and then show it on your website. Then take some good synthetic oil and run it 20,000 miles. Get the oil analysis and post it on your website. If you do this and the FACTS prove your "OPINIONS" to be correct ........then and ONLY then do you have a case against synthetic oils. I'm tired of listening to your opinions that are not based on anything. Get the facts and maybe intelligent people might listen to you. And always remember, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one !

@Jaymoe69 6 жыл бұрын

I agree with the oil analysis, I take a sample every three months or so... Send it to Blackstone labs along with changing the filter and the filter in my frantz bypass system while running full synthetic castrol magnetech.. I only need to change out once or twice a year..

@indridcold8433 2 жыл бұрын

@@666dynomax It is a vintage vehicle requiring thinner oil in winter and thicker oil in the hotter months. Tolerances were not as tight as today. The vehicle will have blow-by in summer if 10w30 is used in the hotter months. In winter 15w40 will make it difficult to start in our very harsh winters. This practice was once very common. The engine in my vehicle was developed in 1952 by Kaiser Motors, later to be updated by AMC. It has more in common with a tractor engine than a car engine. The vehicle I drive daily is not for everyone. But it does have 426,000 miles on the odometer and climbing. I do not think I could get 26 years of service and that many miles out of a modern vehicle with a modern drivetrain.

Ive been working at Valvoline for the past year or so, and have been talking to customers about which oil to use. If you drive a basic old honda civic, theres no need to use synthetic oil. Those engines mostly run a long time anyway. You would be wasting money with full synthetic. But if you drive a brand new civic, its gonna want you to use synthetic blend, or full synthetic. In that case, use either or. The car was made for that type of oil and the engine performs best when using 0w20. In my 1999 7.4l truck, i use full syn. Trucks are made to work. And i want to make sure its getting the best protection while working.

@danhammond9066 5 жыл бұрын

The reason for changing your oil at least once a year is because condensation inside the engine creates water which mixes with unburnt hydro carbons to create acids which eat up your bearings. So if you never drive 20,000 miles in a year then a 20,000 mile oil is not your best value. If you do drive that much in a year then this oil could be worth it one change a year vs maybe 4 or 5 with conventional oil. If you leave the oil in your engine over 1 year then the acid buildup will cause erosion of soft metal parts in the engine such as bearings.

Old cars with flat lifters and high pressure valve springs need an oil with adequate levels of ZDDP. All oil at one time had ZDDP in it, but it was found that it destroyed catalytic converters, so car manufacturers were forced to change from flat lifters to roller lifters to eliminate the need for ZDDP. Modern oils DO NOT have enough ZDDP in them for old cars and I have personally seen many camshafts worn down to round lobes in 2500 miles as a result. If you have an old car, be sure to find out if you need that kind of oil and if so, Valvoline VR-1 is a suitable oil.

Get oil at Walmart.. Not auto parts stores.. much cheaper

If you have someone change it, it will cost $15 more so why not just go to jiffy lube.

@DavidLLambertmobile 6 жыл бұрын

+David Crandall I avoid the ten minute & jiffy places. I highly doubt they apply all the fluids correctly or check all the vehicle issues. go to a AAA place or shop with trained staff.

@oz_medias 6 жыл бұрын

Why not go to Jiffy Lube? Because Jiffy Lube is generally a shithole with garbage products. As for buying at WalMart, my parts store is less expensive than WalMart and carries better product.

DL Lambert - I know of several in and out /quick change oil change franchises that hire extremely well trained staff (many are certified mechanics with decades of experience) and they only use very high end oil products and filters. Don't paint the world with such a broad brush.

@jimbrausky 2 жыл бұрын

I'm a witness to the case. Decided to use synthetic. In less than a month I needed more than two quarts. Now it needs about a quart every 3 days. I guess the solution might be change the oil and put regular oil in

@OlaZzz 6 жыл бұрын

5w-xx will do just fine depending on what car you have, I use Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 instead of 10W-40 (what the owner's manual recommends) and the engine starts effortlessly in the winter and sounds better when on idle. Put in 10w-40 and it sounds like a sowing machine after a cold start.

@blackwar12 6 жыл бұрын

Is it true that it’s a bad idea to go from conventional right to synthetic in one change? I’ve been told you have to introduce synthetic by using semi-synthetic first a few times, so the engine gets used to it.

My 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 5.2 V8 is still going strong for 25 years without engine or transmission overhaul. Right now it is over 401,000 miles. Several years ago, I've used conventional oil then blue smoke came out from tail pipe as I didn't like so, I switched to Mobil One Synthetic oil with royal purple oil filter for years without any problem as well always passed smog check. Also, I've used mostly Chevron 87 octane gas of trying not get cheap gas too.

I have an 08 impala that recommends 5w-30 right on the cap. Now I followed that when it had a lot fewer miles but now it has over 210,000 on its so I’ve recently switched to 10-40 which I change every 6,000 miles. With 5w-30 I noticed she was starting to burn about a quart and a half every 3,000 miles or so. That’s when I decided to switch to a thicker oil to occupy more of that space that has worn in due to normal wear & tear over its lifespan. I’ve been using fully synthetic keeping my oil changes between 6-7k miles and the car seems happy and keeps going. 👍🏻

I would stick with 5w30, there is tight spaces in engines these days, you go thicker those spaces wont get lubed and wear out.

@collinklitz7434 6 жыл бұрын

Honestly 5w-40 would be the safest option to reduce the consumption. Remember that the higher the W number, the thicker the oil when cold.
