If you can get Chevron or Havaline (they are the same now), you'd also get a well-formulated conventional oil.

FL400S. Why don't you try a real parts store like NAPA or Car Quest? Might have better luck. Aside for a good deal on oil, I stay away from those Autozone/Kragen/Pepboys-type stores. As our sage President has said, “There’s an old saying in Tennessee --- I know It’s in Texas, probably in...

I can’t help you with the second question, but for that old “Iron Duke” motor you have, I’d think that he Rotella 5W-40 would work well (even though it’s not a true syn). M-1 would probably be a bit thin for your application. German Castrol Syntec 0W-30 would probably also be a good...

Kind of, I suppose. The Chevron is routinely discounted to 69 cents at Kragen’s. About the same price at Costco. And, it’s only around a buck everywhere else. In all fairness, this is an exception to the rule. It makes is a heck of a value.

Sprintman, There is much truth in your assessment. But, just to set the record straight, I work to drink beer

It’s not cheap Metro (about $8 a can).

I purchased FP from Odis directly before we had LCD to purchase from. The FP purchased from Odis was a clear, light amber fluid. My most recent purchase of FP from LCD was pink in color, and was milky/hazy. Has anybody else noticed this? They both smell the same however (to me it smells like...
