Chrysler put out a TBS with regards to 5w-20 oil. http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2004/09-013-04.htm I have an 05 town and country with a 3.8, manual and cap read 5w-30. I had the last oil changed at the dealer and they stated they put "the oil grade that is supposed to be in there, 5w-20". I would...

Chrysler now specs 5w20 for its 3.3 and 3.8 v6's that are in there minivans. These are pushrod engines.I believe the HEMI is a push rod engine (another 5w20)

I would like to make two points. If you change your oil every 3000 miles than plain old GTX is the best oil for 99% of drivers (with regards to castrol's lineup) Castrol's group III oil may be great, the thing that bothers me about castrol (and all group III makers for that matter) is that...

I am no expert, I have owned macs in the past, but it just costs more to live in the mac world. The price of admission is more. They hit you for 100$ every year with a OS upgrade. They hit you up for 100$ for an ilife upgrade every year. I truly believe using the mac is a more 'satisfying...

The thing that I think irks me, is that they still charge a premium for a filter made in mexico with cheaper labor. I understand about the cost of engineering and design, but would I be safe to assume that this would be a 20$ filter if it was made the usa, I do not think so. I think the other...

These freezer tests are cool for what they are worth. What would be really cool would be to test oil that had 3000 or 5000 miles on it. I would hope a new oil does at least OK. Drive that oil around for a couple of months, cold starts, not bringing the engine up to temp, then test the oil. any...

I think you guys are looking way to hard at these oils. Lets go back a couple of years. I imagine the folks at Valvoline were looking for a way to increase oil sales. They needed to come up with a better oil and market it to the public. They had a better oil in dura-blend (staying out of the...

The people that make the cars could put a transmission in them with a couple extra gears or a smaller rea end. The idea would be to have the cars engine running at the same rpm at 75 as it does now at 55.

http://www.quakerstate.com/pages/techdata/Display_MSDS.asp?ID=205644 That is the MSDS, I read that as half group 1 and half group 3, which is no big deal. Does anybody who actually knows how to read an MSDS see something different?

man you sure are brave posting that, (seeing how you spilled a drop)

If I remeber correctly, mobil 1 tri-syn was a blunder that was fixed by super syn.

If these new additives all so wonderfull why does mobil 1 and mobil 1 ep use the "OLD" technology? I would assume that mobil 1 does not need Antimony. Then again it may have Antimony in them to, but we would never know.

It has long been written that you can expect the same protection from dino juice as you can from synthetic over short to moderate intervals (3000-5000 miles), disregarding temps below -20. Along with this it has been written that the major advantage to using a synthetic or "diesel" oil is that...
