Someone with 2019 check oil level?

[matt33]

Sometimes I think I'm one of very few people who checks their oil regularly. My 2017 doesn't use a noticeable amount, yet I check every 1,000 miles or so, after every oil change, and when I purchased new.

My 19 is being built in a few days and I will check my oil the minute it comes off the truck now. And by the way I am an expert at Mobil Oil products and as long as you use Mobil 1 synthetic and the recommended viscosity for your vehicle You can easily go 5,000 or even more on an oil change with no problem. Mobil 1 synthetic will keep your engine running cleaner and your mileage will increase, not any big numbers but its not unusual to see people getting .4 to .5 MPG increase. It will start better in cold weather and I would think your catch can (if you have one) will be much cleaner. Don't worry about your oil turning black very early after putting it in, all that shows you is that Mobil 1 is doing what it is supposed to. I would not recommend it but I had a customer once with a Toyota 22R engine that had over 250,000. miles on it and I had to replace the valve cover gaskets, when I opened up the engine I couldn't believe my eyes. I could still see the factory paint on the heads. The weird thing is he changed his oil every 20,000 miles while changing just the filter every 5,000 and topping the oil off with one quart. Again I would not recommend this but it tells me just how good Mobil 1 is. If its the choice for companies like Boeing, Nascar, and General Dynamics its OK in my book.

I wouldn't go around using that as any sort of selling point. One could change fuel brands and see that much an increase. Not to mention tire pressure or other factors come into play.

With 50 years you should know better than to quote "using XXXX oil will gain you .5MPG". I'm not saying it's not a good oil that cannot protect your engine.

But you quoting .5MPG gains AND saying you have 50 years experience is well..........not smart.

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people my friend those with loaded guns, and those who dig.

I checked mine on delivery and it was spot on to the upper line.

What do you think it means?? It's pretty simple.....

I think lots of folks swear by mobil1 because it is readily available and inexpensive. but I stopped using it when I discovered it is not 100% synthetic (probably opening a can of worms here). I run amsoil signature series now which is expensive and not readily available.

I run whatever synthetic blend the Ford dealership uses with my $39 oil change.

I change every 5,000 miles (25,000 miles on now)

Twice I checked oil level right before oil change and it's always been full. No oil use . Think there is a problem with your truck if it's burning oil.
