Is it law by the API that says each grade oil "must" be between the min/max hths or is it just a rule of thumb for manufacturers? Im not sure who drew this.

Thanks oil_film_movies. I should probobly write that down and keep track of this stuff.. Plugs are changed and car is running well. Found oil on the plug threads on the driver side plug. Not sure about this one. Valve cover leak? Will look into it farther. In the mean time, Im going to get a...

So I just changed the oil, out came 3.5 quarts of black water. Doesnt smell of fuel to much which is suprising. I checked the oil for the first time yesterday in her car which I seen it was low, but i didnt know it was that low.... In went 5 quarts of Mobil1 ep 5w30. Runs fine and definitely...

Im changing the wifes car oil today and I got curious and looking at the sds on the acdelco and the mobil1 ep im going to be filling with. The oils are not similar at all. What are these chemicals, oil or additives ive never heard of. Which is more beneficial or better than the other? Both...

Some good questions and some good answers!

I have a TI81 around here somewhere. Havent used it in ages.

Where does it say to use 5w30 in your manual?

My work truck had me going 2018 f350 6.2L, i checked the oil and it was way low. Called the bossman and let him know he told me to take it back to the dealer. Checked again about 20 minutes later and it was in middle of the add/full mark. Got to reading and they are saying to let sit at least 15...

Amazon Basics is most likely the same as the other two. I was just at Warren D. If i could only take pictures.... They make lots of other brands too ive never seen or heard of.

It may be the best oil ever accidentally made and put into a bottle. Could have a 1m mile oil change on your hands!

I wouldnt consider it a one arm bandit test. They are testing their own products for results to make their own product better.

Im sure it would. I drive 14 miles to work and back on the interstate daily so I wouldnt get to see the outcome. Suppose if your oil never got to temprature it wouldnt have a chance to steam off the junk.

$17 a pop for fl820 ford performance filters. 50% more filtration sounds great. Ill stick with $6. OE from walmart. But if your racing you might want to consider it?
