Congrats on the good deals. FWIW---IMO--- it's just not worth it to mix brands/weights on purpose--even if the oil was free--which it almost is, in this case Steve

thanks much for taking the time & effort to post up the filter pics Steve

IMO ST oil is as good as any other mid-level-conventional, in other words, I'd use it. My recent experience with their FILTERS on the other hand, wasn't good. I was going to wait till I learn to post pictures here, but for now, I can tell you the media on a used (100miles)ST oil filter was as...

Agree with above If you are dropping a used engine in the Jeep-be aware some of these engines may not have fared so well with Active Fuel Management-- Steve

Originally Posted By: cronk Up north its easy to get rid of, I put an ad on Craigslist for free used oil. I usually get 3 or 4 calls from folks with waste oil furnaces and its gone by the end of the day. Other than that, take it 2 or 3 gallons at a time to local parts stores. GREAT IDEA- I'm...

OP-all suggestions here are really good ones. I would get new tires as well, but if you insist on running on these old ones do us a favor---take a good look at the inside/backside of the tires--for cracking & bubbles. If you don't have a full size spare tire, I'd get a 20 dollar used rim & mount...

OP--have you checked the PCV system (valve & all relevant hoses) are clear, & working properly? Just a thought Steve

it looks like it's carbed---

I would run it with confidence--I've seen it work miracles on Chevy V-8s with lifter tick, when all else has failed IMO & experience, you will see the most benefit from engines with over 60 K miles--putting it in a newer engine = no observed benefit I use it in all my OPE as well Steve

Exide....ugh... the kiss of death as far as batteries are concerned. My last Duralast (AZ) went almost 7 years, but when pricing a replacement, WalMart had AZ & AAP beat by a longshot--even with AAP % off. Turns out Duralast & WalMart batteries are made by JC, so in the end, prolly the same...

Very lucky with the 3.73----we had that one on a previous Tahoe--IIRC it spun around 2K rpm at 70 instead of the 2250 with the 4.11 We only get around 16 mpg hwy. Steve

My first choice would be Redline, in your desired viscosity. The only leading brand syn I can think of off hand is Quaker State Syn Steve

I feel lucky--then.... Picked up 2 cases last year at HD @ 1.98/quart Will be used for those cars coming in needing frequent OCIs to address previous neglect, & OPE. Steve

CF most likely for diesels............ I spotted this for the first time in Wally's over the weekend---thought I was just behind, so I didn't mention it Must be on the high side HTHS-wise if it not resource conserving
