Just changed to Pennzoil High mileage 5W-30 in my '99 Integra LS w/ 156K miles on the odometer.

How did I do?

Simple question: if my engine was rebuilt 36K ago, but has 202,000 miles total, should I still use high mileage oil or does it matter?

The main reason to use high mileage oils is for the seal swell additives they put in them to make it stop leaking/leak less. If you replaced all the seals in your engine when it was rebuilt I wouldn't worry about it until you get to about 75-100k after your rebuild.

What filter did you use? Pennzoil that isn't the full synthetic is pretty meh tier, it's not the best oil you could get but it's also not bad either.

If I had the seals replaced, I would continue using regular oil (NON high mileage). As the other poster said, the high mileage variation of oils have chemicals that cause the seals to swell a little bit, thus reducing or stopping leaks. But if you make the seals swell when it is not necessary, the seals may be a little tighter than necessary.

15w50 mobil. has cool additives for my skid cam and it's a great deal at walmart

Either mobile 1 non synthetic 10w-40 or Valvoline non synthetic 10w-40.

It mixes with the fuel anyway, not gonna burn expensive oil. That and synthetic oil turns to carbon more readily when burned so I'd rather not carbon lock an apex seal.

isn't this an old wives tale about synthetic vs dino oil lol

I ran Pennzoil high mileage or Castro gtx high mileage with a fram high mileage filter for the 3 years I owned my 1994 integrated from 136K to 198K.

Not a single issue. It's good oil anon. get a high mileage filter to pair with a high mileage oil change

Synthetic oil has flame retardants in it too, so you'd be reducing your fuel's ability to combust properly unless you remove the oil injection system to premix instead.

just did a service recently I usually stick with the following

>Penrite HPR 5
I looked at the Castrol edge 5-30 but it was $20 more than the penrite synthetic
>Penrite pro gear 75w-90 for the MT

It is a great engine oil and I change it every 10 000km or 6 months (realistically 6 months and 5000km because city). I don't see any benefits to switching to edge for my little econobox, especially with the already frequent changes.

Amsoil old European blend or some such.

>What are all you guys using in your shitb/o/xes?
Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5W20 full synthetic with the Fram Ultra synthetic filter. The oil database tests at 230 degree Fahrenheit operating temperature shows its oil film has much better performance than the Mobile1 full synth oil. Mobile1 after merging with Exxon seems to be mostly riding its laurels instead of pushing ahead.
