    Idemitsu Motor Oil 0W16

    Here is the response I got from Idemitsu in reguards to moly content: It has 70-80 PPM, which is typical of a trinuclear molybdenum compound. These are much more effective than older types of moly, which you would expect to see in the 700 range. Modern molybdenum compounds see diminishing...

    Idemitsu Motor Oil 0W16

    I can get a great deal on bulk Idemitsu Motor Oil 0W16 which is what my new subaru takes. I've heard that toyota, mazda and Subaru oil are made by Idemitsu and that the "dealer" oils have a high moly content. Just wondering if the ID oils also have a high moly content. Can't seem to find a...

    Any love for Motul oil?

    I'm oil dumb but have heard good things about Motul. I was interested in the 8100 0w20. Seems cheaper than AO but is it the same quality?

    Mobil EP, Eneos, Royal Purple 0w-20 Thoughts for my 1.5L turbo

    I'd be open to other brands. I'm a huge Amsoil fan but since I am in warranty and Amsoil does not have an official Dex certification I don't want to have to deal with GM's CS.

    Mobil EP, Eneos, Royal Purple 0w-20 Thoughts for my 1.5L turbo

    Haven't posted here in a while so please forgive me if I have this in the wrong place. It's time for my first oil change in my new 2023 Equinox 1.5l Turbo. I have the opportunity to purchase a bulk of each of these oils, all the same price and quantity. The only requirement is Dexos 3 but I...

    Which oil to use in my generator Is SJ better

    Thanks locomaster I usually get Mobil 1 oils and run them in my cars. Amsoil be just as cheap around here so when I get a pretty good deal, I stock up. I don't have a preference in oils, just want my equipment (mainly generators, I run medical equipment off of them) to be reliable and last a...

    Which oil to use in my generator Is SJ better

    Now that things are back to semi-normal, I now have a plethora of oil available now at my disposal and since my prepper OCD is kicking in full gear I'm thinking of running my two generators, honda power washer, and push mower all on 10w30. I've looked at VP racing small engine oil, Amsoil...

    Amsoil ASE Small engine oil . No friction modifiers?

    I've been interested in using ASE in my generators (8000 and 2200 watt) and my honda mower and gcv190 engine pressure washer. My only reservation is that the oil does not contain friction modifiers. Is this really something to be concerned about?

    Derecho - never knew what it was, and now I've lived through it

    My Experience, I came out pretty unscathed, but one of my friends had their house literally cut in half. She was not home luckily. My neighbor got an 80ft tall ash in his kitchen and two houses on my block caught fire. People were burning garbage since pickup service was not available and...

    Which oil to use in my generator Is SJ better

    Just purchased a Generac 8000-10000 watt generator because of the inland hurricane here in Iowa. Oil is scarce at the moment so my options are royal purple 30w SJ, Castrol dino 10w30, or Pennzoil 5w30 SN synthetic. The manual calls for generac 5w30 oil for colder temps and straight 30 for...
