Castrol makes good oil. Boycotting BP does nothing but cost other Americans their job, because that money goes back into their pockets as well.

Im sure that was due to the break in particles being removed, and fresh oil being put in, rather than it being RP synthetic or standard.

Any point in me using 10W-30 over 5W-30 when the manual says either or? Always run 10W-30, but if it will flow better at start, is there any difference?

Any reason to use a 10W-30 over a 5W-30? The manual calls for 5-30 or 10-30 but I heard the 5-30 Supreme is actually a synblend and different formulation?

Is Chevron Supreme still a good oil? Ive been a big fan of Chevron products, they always work quite well. I purchase this oil from Costco by the case. Ive read many things.. i know it used to be the favorite back in the day around here but is the formulation still good? Is Mobil Super or...

I dont like FRAM but this has happened to me with WIX along with an oil filter gasket leaking everywhere.

Thanks for the recommendations. For awhile I have been loyal to WIX but in this application i used the Toyota filter. The recommended WIX filters are the WIX 51348 (extremely small even compared to the yota YZZD3) or 51515. Is there any true benefit to a larger filter like the 51515? I believe...

Hello all, new here. Been lurking and reading for some time, normally find myself over on IH8MUD, but wanted to gain advice and knowledge on oil and filtration. My 1996 Land Cruiser has 228k on the clock, hasn't skipped a beat. With that being said, I want to take the best care of it that I can...
