Just a thought. In a non hi-performance motor that was not ran hard why would a expensive oil with polyol ester be needed or wanted at twice the price of a PAO oil ? Please don't flame me but I cannot see the logic of putting a racing oil in a non racing car . From what I read here all the...

A few months ago when I was comparing brands after learning here that FM's are used in some oils I called Amsoil and they told me absolutley they never did or will use a Moly type FM if that is what this topic is about. They said Moly was a corrosive. Is this the FM that was supposed to be...

( Anyone have any thoughts or opinions? ) Yes my opinion is to use plain mineral oil for the break in. Something like Motorcraft or Chevron and to put the gas to the floor a few times briefly to seat the rings well before changing to a synthetic. I cannot comment on the Schaeffers oils but I...

As in Pennzoil will no longer use that base oil produced from the plant unless it is purchased from Conoco and whoever purchases the other 1/2 interest in the plant by October of 2003. Does Shell produce a group II base oil or purchase it from other companies ? Is it true Castrol buys it's...

Rugerman since the Tractor does not see full time duty I like a regular 30wt modern mineral oil for this tractor since it gets changed once per year at low hours. Any current SL dollar per quart would be a Superoil in comparison to what was used in it during the 40-50 and 60's. IMO a synthetic...

If I read this right the, LE 8800 Pennzoil Long Life Delvac 1300S Valvoline premium Blue are Kings Of the Hill in this very tough test. Some are miserable failures at least in this revealing test. Or is the test tough enough to whip most oils ,in which it did to a large part of them .

Same with me. I still use those dreaded Frams and run my motors a very long time. Those Supertech filters do a good job as well. Fram haters unite and hate me too ! Seriously. If you did not know one was one you motor I doubt there would be any difference at all over the coarse of 300K and...

As I read more about NOAK ,Oxidation stability and the ability to stay in grade all along with the newest 5/20 Mineral oils all being a group III and or a group III and II mix are the group I base oils for all intents and purposes going out the door in the wave of the future and the demands...

Where did this post about hydrocracking come from ? I would like to see who Authored it. Lube Control ? Sorry I cannot add to your post. I have never heard of it.

Tooslick the Delo 400 I have seen is a 15/40 oil .

It sounds like he is happy . I wish I could have a toast with him using some castrol and valvoline So here's too you as I drink pennzoil alone

Hey what is this motor oil additive ? It looks very safe to use . Has anyone called to ask about this ? Where can this be purchased, online ? http://www.lubegard.com/automotive/engine_biotech.html

I am a recovering mixaholic I got into some trouble and my ParOIL Officer shows up unanounced and takes a oil sample . It is part of the early release program here for offenders like us.I also cannot be caught in a auto parts store after dark. Once I wanted to take off south to mexico and be...

I was one of those guys I now use the recommended Trop Artic Turbo oil in the 10/30 and no cam troubles yet after replacing it and adhering to strict break in advice! I really like this oil but never see it mentioned but by one person. The one that advised me to use it
