    Can someone explain Dexos 1 to me?

    I have a car 20 years old that can digest any SH or better oil of 5W-20W or better. This is a post for my buddy who has a 2014 Chevy Silverado that is now out of warranty. Just what is the Dexos 1 designation? Is it equivelent to the GF-5 or SN designations? Or is it just a marketing ploy to...

    Dust Storm Question

    Question: Is it best to change the oil and filter if you pass through a dust storm? I was in one that lasted about 20 minutes the other day. It was strong enough to loft grains of sand about 3 feet above the ground. I was driving slowly. Will the filter handle this anyway? Your answers are...

    Dollar General sued over obsolete oils

    I do not agree with this lawsuit at all. Back in the ancient day, when a relative had a 1952 MG TD, we ran SA in it all the time, and the sludge stopped the leaking at the spindle nut. We ran it ten years on that stuff. I had a 1978 Toyota back in the day and ran SF in it all the time. No...

    Non Violent Protests In U.S.....

    It is good that this protest is peaceful. There is a horrible problem with abusive cops in this country. It all started around 40 years ago. I still recall this cop. He said during the conversation that: "...there are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who are cops, and those who...

    Oil Viscosity Question

    "Agreed; MMO would just be wasted money." I already have had the MMO for about a year. It is not like I am waiting at the front door of Walmart to get more. All I want to know is: Will the MMO work or not?

    Oil Viscosity Question

    As with a lot of BTOG threads, a lot of you guys are not answering the question. I have noted that many times on other people's BITOG threads. It's annoying. It's like asking a question about Canadian whiskey and getting told all about wine from Crete. I have a lot of different oil weights in...

    Oil Viscosity Question

    My crankcase right now has about 5-1/2 quarts of PYB, 10W-30. That weight is OK down to about 10 degrees F. But it is getting iffy at 0 degrees F. The sump officially holds six quarts and can take some over-fill. In about a month, I will go up to an area where the 5:00 AM lows are around -10 F...
