re: '... now made in China'
Disappointing. Now I'll have to check the 9-51516s I have sitting on the
shelf, bought years ago. Also got enough Valvoline VR-1 Racing oil for 9
changes (plus extra I donate to my driveways).
re: '... The XP states it is "Designed For Full Synthetic Oils...â??'
Means basically nothing, just jumping on the 'synthetic anything is
better' bandwagon (see: Castrol 'Synthetic' brake fluid). I think the XP
has a higher burst pressure, and it might flow a bit better than 'std,'
but not much value for a street car.
re: "... Just question if there is a problem using with heavy 20-50 dino
oil?"
Nope. Been using it (various brands) for 150K miles or so in two Healeys.
re: "... Any problems with using for a couple of oil changes instead of
replacing with every oil change"
This is what's known as a 'false economy.' Not that it matters a /whole/
lot, but you'll leave a pint or so of old, dirty oil in the filter to
mix with your nice, clean new dino oil. You're up on jackstands, or
ramps or, if you're really fortunate, a lift; why not take 5min to put
on a fresh filter? For just a few bucks more you can do the job properly.
