Which Full Synthetic 0w-20 Motor Oil? ($15 – $38) SO MANY BRANDS!

There are so many 0w-20 motor oils on the market with smaller hybrid and turbo engines. I like that there are more competition from different brands. For me I am not brand specific. For my Honda Civic Hybrid, i was buying Mobil 1 0w-20 because it needed it and the only brand available was Mobil 1. 

I remember paying $30- $35 for 5 quarts.  10 years later, Pennzoil, Valvoline, Castrol, and even Walmart SuperTech has a Full synthetic 0w-20 motor oil selling for about $15 – $38 dollars!  You can even buy it online https://amzn.to/2IC0Opk .    What oil do you use, and have you used the other FULL SYNTHETIC brands or do you still use Conventional motor oil?

DIY: 2016-2018 Chevy Volt Oil Change: DIY – oil, filters, gaskets, tools!

DIY Video to how to change the oil on the 2016- 2018 Chevy Volt

This will be my 3rd oil change for my Volt.   I had the Chevy Dealership change my oil at 10,000 miles with 50% oil life, 20,000 miles at 50% oil life. This time its now 41,500 miles at 0% oil life, and its time to do it DIY to save $30-50 dollars!.   Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Which means the change interval for the 2017 Chevy Volt is about 20,000 miles!!! After changing it i will now change it when it reaches 5-10% oil life as the oil looks thicker than normal by 0%.

I needed to add drain and fill about 3.8  quarts of Mobil 1 – 0w-20 (http://amzn.to/2CX5xPl)  instead of the recommended 5w-20 as i prefer lighter weight oil in my cars with needing 5w-20 oil weight motors.  I will also be changing out the oil filter with the Wix XP filter  ( or the  ACDELCO PF64 filter thats about $6.50 at Walmart or Amazon – http://amzn.to/2FPL3uZ –

Coming up Chevy Volt Vlog #62, so stayed tuned!!!!

Chevy Volt Vlog #61: @ 40,000 miles – 27.5 MPG – Oil 7% – Solar Panels

Chevy Volt Vlog #61: Its about 40,000 miles @ about 21 months with my 2017 Chevy Volt. For my long distant trips 700+ miles i use HOLD mode and get about 27.5 MPG. My oil level is good and will need to replaced in a couple of weeks as its about 5% now.  This will be my 3rd oil change for my Volt. 

 I will be changing it out with 4.2 quarts of Mobil 1 – 0w-20 (http://amzn.to/2CX5xPl)  instead of the recommended 5w-20 as i prefer lighter weight oil in my cars with 5w-20 motors.  I will also be changing out the oil filter the links are below for the PF64 filter thats about $6.50 at Walmart or Amazon – http://amzn.to/2FPL3uZ –

In the past month my proximity remote was low power and i had to replace the CR2032 battery. Here is the DIY: https://sterlingwong.com/2018/02/17/diy-how-to-replace-battery-on-a-chevy-gm-car-remote-keyless-entry/ 

I also tried using a 80 watt solar panel on my Volts windshield, which was a good idea, however I did not want to risk ruining my $300 12-volt AGM battery in my trunk. I did not know if the charge controller knew how to charge a AGM cell.  So i put it in my GMC Savanna Van to charge its 12 volt battery.

For the audio system of the 2017 Volt, I wanted to play cassette tapes i had from my 90’s so  i found my Sony Walkman and Sony DiscMan and found out the belts were bad, so i bought a cassette player from Walmart. The AC inverter was not clean so there was a LOT of static and noise. I eventually got a Cassette to MP3 converter that used USB power and it worked!

I also found my old Transcend MP3 Player from 8 years ago! and it works like a USB drive for the Chevy Volt audio system. The infotainment system is able to control the tracks from the dash display, the audio controls, and the steering wheel controls which make it very convenient when driving!   Transcend still sell mp3 players with radios:  http://amzn.to/2oEfzk6

Lastly, I have test drove the 2018 Honda Clarity plugin and the 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo and love them.  I like how they have air deflector vents in the front wheel well for better aerodynamics.  I also test drove the Kia Niro Hybrid (49 MPG) and was not really satisfied with the pickup speed or mpg (30 mpg on my test drive )  performance. It was also smaller than expected in cargo space.

Coming up will be DIY on 2017 Chevy Volt Oil Change, so stayed tuned!!!!
