  • @robbie1674563 what was in the engine before was castrol 10w30. it looked like that because it was a month over due and it was 4F outside. hehe

  • I searched Geo Metro Oil Change and your video was on top and on the bottom was my Marvel Mystery Oil Treatment.

  • This video is misleading-all oil will be thick in that temperature when cold- and there is nothing wrong with Penzoil as one dude said

  • If you use a bigger oil filter, like a M1-301 from Mobil 1 you can use a full 4 qts. See link for more info: geometroforum com/topic/1219569/1/

  • not only that it can stand up to the heat way more heat before breaking down and sludging

  • synthetic oil does not sludge when changed properly i dont care what anyone says but synthetic protects better in certain ways stays clean longer you can go longer on it i use valvoline synthetic and my motor is as clean as a whistle i tore a motor down once after using valvoline synthetic for years changing it every 5,000 miles and it was as clean as the day it left the factory conventional may sludge dont know never used it i always always use synthetic my car calls for it in the book so i use

  • whoa whoa whoa now i wasnt saying pennzoil wasnt any good now it wasnt back then they may have changed formulas by now i just wouldnt use it is all i said i wasnt in anyway saying dont use it i was just making a point i wouldnt use it slick 50 got sued and pennzoil owns them found out by secret leak it may be ok to use now i just artent going to use it was all i was saying not trying to start a fight my grandpa used it when i was a kid changed it every 2,000 back in the 90's it caked the engine

  • @robbie1674563 Pennzoil cleans everything out and keeps it in suspension so that it comes out of your motor when you change it. But have fun being wrong.

  • @Wtorres996 It's viscosity is only 10 when it is cold, after it warms up it goes to 30 weight anyways.

  • @PurpleXity1 lmao

  • The sludge/ deposits are generally caused by paraffin, and emergency lubricants building up. The main issue is the detergents breaking down. This is caused by contamination. Valvoline being fairly high in paraffin content is a poor choice for long term use but is great if you Like to change oil a lot. The best choice of oil is one that is made with a good base to start with. Most synthetics are not synthetic, they only meet that grade, since synthetic is deemed a marketing word by courts.

  • Man nice oil filter! K&N is the shit! Eh Pennzoil is not the best but certainly is not the worst! Man with good oil and kick ass oil filters, your engine ought to run forever!
