Ok there is thousands of threads out there on what weight, what brand of oil and parts one would need for an oil change. Also most of these threads have 2 things in common, one out dated and two people are using different factory oil filters. Im trying to do my first oil change on my 06 EVO MR and Im trying to find out what's the best oil, filter and where do I get the famous "crush washer", without going to the dealership.

 

There is no "best oil". That's why there are so many threads on this subject. People have different opinions. Consensus is that Mobil 1 isn't actually full synthetic, even though it is the factory recommended fill. I use AMSOil along with a lot of other folks. For filter I buy OEM. As for the crush washer, 64,000 miles on my IX MR and I haven't ever needed to get one.

 

Dealer for the crush washers and mobile 1 10-30 like it says in the onwers manual. For a Filter an OEM, Wix, Fram x2, puralator will all work without issue

 

Your car will never have an issue running M1 oil. Anyone that tells you different is an idiot

 

Obivously its a matter of opinion. I bought mine with 55k miles on it and it always had been changed religiously with M1. I put another full synthetic in it immediatly after buying it just as an experement... Seemed to run much smoother for me. Idle was quieter and smoother. But that was just my experience. Im sure Mobile one is fine, but that doesn't mean there aren't much better oils out there.

 

I prefer Valvoline VR1 10w30 and OEM oil filter.

 

AMSOIL = The best, talk to apagan on here he can get it for you pretty cheap I think. Use and OEM oil filter.

 

122k miles Mobile 1 and Fram filter. Never a problem.

 

Can anyone share opinion on Mobil 1 extended performance?

 

my oil is better than your oil.....

 

AMSOIL SSO 0w-30, same washer since mile zero.

 

Valvoline - wax

study a bit, Valvoline is crap

 

Motul 15-50 and hks hi flow oil filter

 

Oh yeah? Why would Forced Performance recommend "crap" for their turbos? It is one of the approved oils for their turbos

Please inform me as to why it is crap.

 

My car used M1 EP 18k-120k I use the M1 HM 10-30 now car has 135k now IIRC. Again to think you are doing your car a diservice by not using a boutique oil how's that smoke feel in your ***????
