Synthetic Motor Oil Option for a High-Mileage SUV
I am driving a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban with 200,000 miles on it. I want to switch over to synthetic oil because of the added protection and extended oil change intervals. Should I use truck/suv, high ...

Keeping Oil Pressure Up in a Chevy Truck
My daughter has a '98 Chevy 4x4 truck with 127,000 miles on it. After the oil gets hot, the oil pressure drops to around 20 lbs. She runs 5W-30. Short of rebuilding the engine, would it help to run hi...

Any Reason to Switch Off a Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil in a Higher Mileage Truck?
I have a 2004 Ford E-150 with a 4.6 and 205,000 miles on it. I have changed my oil and filter every 4,000 miles with the same 5W-20 semi-synthetic oil. Should I stay with a semi-synthetic or would I b...
You can stay with the semi-synthetic and use Mobil Clean 7500 which provides guaranteed protection for 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first.  Obviously, a full synthetic like Mobil 1 High ...
