If it were mine, I'd change the oil in a heartbeat. I would unscrew the oil filter, dump it and screw it back on. I have 03 in red.

I have a '04 Honda VTX 1300 and I have been running the Purolator PL14610 (or L14610) with Rotella 15W40 for the last two years. My wife has a '04 Honda Aero, and I have been running the Purolator PL14612 (or L14612) with Rotella 15W40 in it for the last two years also. If I had a shred of...

They had several stores around here and closed all but one as they were pulling out of our area late last year. As I walked around the store I saw lots of opened boxes and it looked to me like they had shipped all their returns to this store to unload them...and yes, there were no returns, no...

Robster, check out this UOA using Castrol Syntec 5W-50 in a 2001 BMW R1100S: http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/s...ge=3#Post714476

I'm running Havoline 5W20 in our Mazda6 2.3L and F-150 5.4L. I was convinced to use Havoline by UOA's and the sale price of $1.58 at AA. I stocked up and bought 4 cases, although I'm down to 3 cases now. My other choice is Motocraft 5W20, again based on UOA's. I think they are both great oils...

I just priced a gallon of UCL at my local O'Reilly's for $23. They don't stock the gallon size in the store but carry it in their warehouse and would have it within a couple of days.

I've been running the Purolator L14610 in my VTX 1300C and the L14612 in my wife's 750 Aero.

I had a 97 Taurus and agree with the group on the coolant overflow tank problems. Brake fluid replacement would be highly recommended also from first hand experience with old brake fluid boiling on a hot day and shazam, no brakes! But here are my top recommendations for the Taurus: a...

Ditto on the Havoline dino. Both our vehicles take 5w20 and last time Advance Auto ran a sale on Havoline ($1.58/qt) I stocked up and bought what I projected to be a years worth, or 4 cases.

I thought the general consensus was the high amount of additives comes from the engine assembly lube.

I use Mobil1 ATF in my power steering pumps. I wish both my car and truck didn't call for Mercon V in the tranny or I'd use it there too.

grbr95, is this the post you are talking about? Oil Comparisons

kendogg, run GTX but do a used oil analysis (UOA) at 3K. Then post it in the UOA forum to see how it is performing.
