Oil Separator Catch Can

[Gary E]

Remember to check your separator catch can like I didn't. It went twice the mileage that I usually check it. It was full and had sludge at the bottom.

Vavoline Conventional.

You may want to switch to a good synthetic, that crud is not great. That battery you have sure is!

Yikes dude, that oil looks horrible. You better switch to some group 3 group 4 oils. Unless your oci is sub 3k miles which judging by the color it is not.

The oil is fine. I'm not a synthetic person. Been using conventional since the '60's with no issues. But it is getting harder to source the last couple of years since the current government has declared war on the oil industry.

For the benefit of others, not me, what do you consider "a good synthetic"?
