I went from 20w60 to 10w50 and now I don’t get that cold start rattle. If you’re in a super cold part of the world I’d go for a 10w or 5w oil, with a higher 2nd number for good viscosity for an engine @170,xxx kilometres. Also, make sure you run quality oil filters, like Mann filters as the cheaper filters seem to not have very good quality anti-drainback check valves in them.

Pros: no cold start rattle
Cons: metallic rattle sound (with 20w60)
Mileage: 170000 km

Got a workshop quote me for engine oil change $550. I do it myself with liquid moly and Mann oil filter cost me $200.

It's fun DIY your car, changing engine oil isn't too difficult , just learn from YouTube.

And it's only takes 30 mins to do it.

Pros: fun DIY, not difficult
Cons: workshop quote expensive

I have nearly 25 years of working on my own vehicles and doing my own oil changes.

I use Supertech Fully Synthetic (High Mileage) along with FRAM Synthetic 10,000 mile filters.

Never had an issue, ever. No sludge, zero issues. I’m perplexed at the filter cry boys on this thread. As if there’s not hundreds of filter test videos on YouTube showing comparisons and oil testing results.

Pros: no sludge, zero issues

Yeah, I've been sticking with Fram Ultra for those longer intervals too. Haven't seen any drop in quality myself, the construction still looks solid when I cut them open, especially for the price point.

Pros: solid construction, good price
Cons: no drop in quality

It won't hurt your engine to use Fram. Especially if you change your oil frequently enough and use good quality oil.

That said, there are better built and better filtering options available at similar or slightly higher prices.

Pros: won't hurt engine
Cons: better options available

It sounds like Jiffy Lube still likes to price gouge.

I have not been to a Jiffy Lube in years. Not since a basic oil change was closer to $20 if you caught them during a slow time and they were holding up their discount sign.

My invoice had the oil filter charge plus another $5 \"specialty filter\" charge.

Cons: price gouging, specialty filter charge

I’d personally stay away from that orange brand. I’ve had multiple issues with oil pressure with those brand filters

Cons: issues with oil pressure
