VF2 SS - Black edition

[Ron Burgundy]

New?

Nah...just repaired

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Just for my records

Did under 4000km in 6 months. Feels like a waste of oil...but oil and filter cost me $160 ish so no big deal. Will stick to 6 months regardless of kilometers.
73 374km on the odometer

$160 on oil and filter... gee
Castrol edge 5w-30 3x 5L @ $42 ea = $126 (2x services worth)
ACdelco pf48e $5.31 ea

= $68.31 each service for a top-of-the-line non-group IV full synthetic oil

Edge 5w30 is not recommended on lube guide for VF?

I used it on our Mazda 3

Edge 5w-30 is the best you can get. Forget the lube guide. It's only because it doesnt meet SN API nonsense (higher level of zinc - which is actually good). Meets all the top euro stuff.

I bought 20 PF48Es from amazon back in 2020. Might be an unfair comparison. I reckon i posted it in the forum when it came up on special hahal.

Just checked.. .got 6 for 9.68 and then they dropped to 5.31 on 23 october 2020 where I bought 12 (the most it would let me)

I just bought more Mobil1 EP. The price went up $172 for oil alone (8L).

Might need to rethink this. Getting really expensive for Mobil1. Even Supercheap sells it for more than $100 for 5L.
I wonder why it's so expensive...

It is definitely a great oil.

Yeah...just probably not twice as good as the price would suggest. I have notice engine oil pricesss accross the board have gone up. Best to stock up when good specials pop up

I found good deal on Harrop OTR CAI so I bought it. Will keep it in box for now

$370 with some ebay discounts.

Might come in handy again...
