Calm down, I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want.
I understand perfectly well that it was sarcasm. That's exactly what I said, that even if the oil in the USA and Europe is different, then these differences can give well 20% of the difference in resource, well maybe 30%, but not 300%, if Europe had such oil, it would be a miracle.
No, I don't want to have a discussion about the best oil. Oil is generally a matter of religion, one believes in Jesus, another in Buddha, and the third prays to the Sun. So it is with oil, one believes in Mobile, the other in Kostroma. This is the first time I've heard that it's not recommended to use European oil in American cars. European oil has Dexos approval, and it goes into American engines without any problems. In particular, I pour Dexos-approved Belgian oil into Yukon.
Yup…….. If everyone just changed the oil when it is not clear, ….. any oil is fine…….
I change the oil every 7,500 miles, and I cut the oil filter each time, examining it for metal shavings and metal particles. And yes, I don't like vodka, and I practically don't drink alcohol. This happens very very rarely, literally once a year, a glass of wine, or a couple of glasses of beer. I love Cola, but I haven't been drinking it lately either, it contains too much sugar....for me, the best drink is very very strong black tea, and regular drinking water)Yup…….. If everyone just changed the oil when it is not clear, ….. any oil is fine…….
Kinda like…. If you like Coke or Pepsi……. Or your favorite Vodka.
To me, the quality of the filter is important……
I only have a couple glasses of wine a week….. I never liked having a ‘buzz’……. I don’t see the fun in that…..
From the Chevron site...... I'm not sure it is really that big of a deal though. "Oils designed for American cars are generally incompatible with European engines, and vice versa. This can lead to performance issues, increased wear and tear, reduced fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and even engine or catalytic converter damage. Using a non-OEM specified American oil on a European car may also void the warranty."
Reminds me of the study about “how much water a person should drink per day”…..
You know yes, I worry about chips every time. That being said, my last incident was 1500 miles after changing the oil, and cutting the filter, and there were no chips there. As a result, the engine cannot be restored. But I still believe that it is necessary to cut the filter in order to start repairs in advance. Besides, it doesn't cost me anything. The master in the service does this for free.I only have a couple glasses of wine a week….. I never liked having a ‘buzz’……. I don’t see the fun in that…..
Back in the day, not having a buzz……. I was the guy to drive the ladies home from a party.
(( Do you still worry about metal shavings, after driving lots of miles ??
But at the same time, gm gives dexos tolerance to European oils. It's funny, isn't it?))
I wonder if engine oils like MOTUL is any different than common brands…. ( Or American - Amsoil )
Apparently not. And the same is true for analyzes. And acdelco oil for the USA is filled with Chevron oil, and Wolf oil for Europe
The problem is there is no clear definition of synthetic. Amsoil claims some group III oils are better than group IV depending on the additives. It's like asking if almond milk is really milk? LOL!
Group IV has superior properties everywhere except water absorption.
