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...

Hey Pabs. My very best UOA on my S70 was with Amsoil ATM, Schaeffer 132, and Lube Control.

Sprintman, There is much truth in your assessment. But, just to set the record straight, I work to drink beer <img border="0" alt="[Cheers!]" title="" src="/forums/graemlins/cheers.gif" />

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...
