Oil and oil filter. — Toyota bB, 1.3 liter, 2004

Since buying the car, I have always poured AMALIE www.amalie.ru "In those distant times, when Mobil was already selling its now famous gasoline at its gas stations, the equally famous AMALIE engine oil was sold at the same gas stations. 100 years have passed, something changed, but in both cases the quality remained the same!" Since 1999, AMALIE has earned the honorary title of "Official Motor Oil" of the 2nd largest International Drag Racing Association (IHRA). those. only it is poured at these competitions!
Since we bought the car in late November and early December, they filled in 5W-20 when they changed it. once they filled it with 5W-30, summer was coming. But last summer I decided to pour in oil thicker than 15W-50, because at a viscosity of 5W-30 I did not like the sound of the engine in the region of 5000 mileage at a street temperature of +32 degrees. The filter has always been from MFilter - Finnish, but ... this winter of 2010-2011 came and I changed it to 5W-30, and when it got a little bit over -20 the battery elsi scrolled the cold engine (mixed with 15w-50 that had not completely merged - about a glass always remains). Since I rolled out only 3200 km on this oil, and 2 kW of music sucked out of my 40Ah battery in a year. I decided to buy AGM Deka Intinidator 9000 rubles. And she began to start up like in summer at any temperature, even -37))) And when I got to about 5000 km, oil came out from under the filter,

and oil 5W-20 1350 rubles (with their proprietary flushing) since it is the most liquid in them and will mix with the remnants of what is in the crankcase. When I climbed under the car I saw that it also davanulo from under the oil pressure sensor! Changed oil and filter. I never thought that the filter had such an effect - VVT-i began to switch more smoothly and the speed can be more clearly regulated, well, it’s better for him in the cold. Up to -35 it does not press on everything, and below the temperature - drops of oil under the car

, but it's my fault - I poured a little oil, I forgot that the filter is smaller than the previous one and it turned out that it does not reach the maximum of 8mm = 3/4 of the level.
PS: HKS is easy to blow with lungs, and MFilter is heavier. When the used MFilter lay at my house for 20 hours, I sawed it and saw how thick the oil with slags was - it’s not surprising that it blew through it.
