Opinions on Take 5 oil change

@JamesBugman Which model is your Suzuki out of curiosity. I have a Subaru from 1988 which seems to prefer Royal Purple brand and if I use whatever is on the shelf at Chevron gas stations I will get the smell of boiling oil when I park it after a spirited drive.

@RunTheJulz Its an old esteem wagon. Over 300k on it now and still has the original clutch and runs fine.

@JamesBugman That’s the sign of a well made and well maintained vehicle. The only Suzuki I have ever driven was a Samurai that I rented in Chile for about 3 weeks and it was geared for off-road use more than highway driving but I adored it on the dirt roads of the northern Patagonia area and southern Lake region countryside.
I still have a Subaru Outback wagon from 1998 that’s a manual transmission as well as my 1988 Subaru GL wagon which I much prefer to anything with an automatic transmission but the 1988 has 4wd with hi and low and a locking center differential so it actually works better than the 1998 off-road and on the snow covered mountain roads where I live. I have maintained both of them and I plan to drive them until they are fully used up. Then it’s onto a 2001 third generation Toyota 4Runner which I inherited. I much prefer a well built Japanese vehicle to anything else. Happy motoring in your wagon. 😊☺
