davidscott Audioholic Spartan Aug 9, 2018 5,518 0 83 Jan 2, 2025 #827 Anyone use Turtle Wax Ice spray? I used to use paste wax religiously every 6 months or so but since I drive so little, and my car is garage kept the spray seems to work fine. I use it after washing every 2 to 3 months and the cars finish sparkles.

D Dude#1279435 Audioholic Warlord Oct 31, 2020 9,546 0 36 Jan 5, 2025 #838 Does using a one grade up in oil weight say 5w30 to 10w30 a bad idea? Also does Quaker State/Pennzoil use a wax in their oils that bogs down performance? Ever heard anything along those lines? My experience years ago was when I stopped using Pennzoil the car's acceleration improved. Per a quick search.... No, not all car oils have wax in them, although some naturally occurring waxes might be present in conventional oil due to the refining process, particularly in the base oil; however, most modern car oils, especially synthetic oils, are formulated to remove most of these waxes to achieve better performance and consistency, and additional waxes are not typically added as part of the additive package. Quaker State synthetic is on sale so might try that. I'm mostly a oil is oil person and it's really about changing it regularly. Last edited: Jan 5, 2025

Verdinut Audioholic Spartan Aug 31, 2016 5,998 0 113 86 Montreal, Canada Jan 5, 2025 #839 @Dude#1279435, If your vehicle manufacturer used the 5W30 oil for it, there's a specific reason. Switching to a thicker oil is not a good idea IMO. I have been following the Motor Oil Geek about the specific qualities of Pennzoil Oils. I've been using the Ultra Platinum 0w20 in my 2019 Civic since last April and I noticed that the motor seems to run slightly quieter than with the previous synthetic Honda Oil used. Like the Platinum Oil, it is a synthetic oil made from natural gas rather than the usual crude oil. I suggest that you watch several of this motor oil geek videos. This guy is a real expert in oil analysis and is definitely worth following: Last edited: Jan 6, 2025
