What you guys say the best oil of all time is and why? I know there will be alot of different answers and i know every application is different. If you had to choose just one.

I have free balancing with my tires. So I balance every time I rotate. Tires and oil is what I deal with for work and while for some people it may not make a difference I prefer to have then balanced. the reason I do this is because as the tire wear it wears rubber off of the tire and weights...

as per an email i recieved the other day from my DM walmart is not going to carry motorcraft any more. i don't know the reason why just stated that they won't sell to us anymore.

i work for walmart as a service manager in the tire lube exspress and the supertech oil (at least on the east coast) was made by pensoil quaker state but is now produced by exxon mobil i.e. the new bottles.

you are 100% correct I work in wamart automotive and it is made by mobil corp.

newest studies have shown new tires should be mounted to the rear. the ntsb did skid pad tests and showed that being the least weight is in the rear of most vechiles the better tread in the rear helps prevent hydro planning. i have seen video shot of this and it does show results to this effect.

I completly understand that .75 of quart may not be that much. But thats not even the biggest point which is you asked for 6 qts and thats what it should have been. Trust me go in with your paper work from the service and tell them you want your oil drained to the proper level. they will do it...

No offense taken by me at all thats for sure. the guys that work under me know if they pull a bone head move i'll break some fingers (just kidding) but for real there is good and bad service in this world no matter where you go.

I am currently a service manager at a Walmart TLE and while in some cases it is true that you due get some "real winners" not all of the TLE's are this way. My crew in the shop are all an exellent group of guys and know there job and how to do it well. Not all of the places are a bunch of...
