    HELP!! Two Problems to fix....

    I changed my oil last night in 3 cars. First problem: Due to the rain and my dog and wife telling me to get out of the rain (aka distractions ) I added 4 quarts of 0W-20 to my 2005 Subaru Forester. Subaru calls for about 5 quarts of 5W-30 for this vehicle. Second problem: The rain started...

    Using cheap oil filters first?

    Hey. What does this mean to a regular guy? Is the mobile one or K &N too hi or too low? I always thought they were the best around. I realise that highest price is not always best. I also think that the best filtration doesn't mean best filter. I am seriously asking, because I don't know: Is...

    Using cheap oil filters first?

    I think I'm gonna do what Dallas said. I'll put this on when I change the oil tomorrow, And when I normally have to add a half quart of oil (about one-two months, 1200-1500 miles), I'll swap out the filter for the Mobil 1 and top it off. Mind you, I probably will not do this if the filter...

    Using cheap oil filters first?

    Thanks, guys for weighing in with all the information you have shared and just for checking in. I couldn't remember the name so I finally got to the garage and took the filter off the shelf. It's a Pentius.

    Using cheap oil filters first?

    Using cheap oil filters first? Hey guys, I have a question for you all. I have a 2015 Subaru crosstrek. I've been taking good care of it, I only use brand name full synthetic, (Mobil 1 or castrol edge, usually) and a mobile one or a K@N filter. Every 7500 miles. By the way, for a laugh, the...

    Old old old 20W-20 Non Detergent motor oil

    Thanks to all who contributed. I guess we kicked this around long enough, though other comments will be welcomed and read. I'm going with the idea of selling what I can and then use the rest in oil cans for the kids bikes, etc. Now to get the gumption to get on to ebay and sell it...

    Old old old 20W-20 Non Detergent motor oil

    Thanks for all the ideas and opinions. Glad to have some input from all around. Not to sound ungrateful for your ideas, and I do like the analogy to the beans, but the beans were not beans 1 million years ago --but the oil was oil a million years ago. Now how about thinking about this...

    Old old old 20W-20 Non Detergent motor oil

    Thank you all for the quick replies. It says non detergent and is in large metal cans with a small metal (1 1/2") cap. I'm sure there is some value to the oil, even if its not as good as modern stuff. It would be a real sin to just dump it. I've been using it to oil my garden tools as I...

    Old old old 20W-20 Non Detergent motor oil

    My 90 year old dad has a cluttered garage and I've been elected to tidy it up since his days of visiting the garage seem to be over. I found a few jugs of 20W-20 non detergent motor oil. I'm estimating they were under the workbench since Nixon or even LBJ was in the White House. I'm not kidding...
