    What oils are made in Canada?

    WPP on the bottom of Klondike jugs. I believe that to be Warren. Without cheating by looking it up, I’m guessing Omaha, NE.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Add a 5L jug of M1 0w40, windshield wipers, 4 fish lures at $9 each, a package of half inch extensions and a funnel. After driving 1,200 kms last night, I met my son down town. The oil was down below add, so I topped it up before sending him on his way.

    Most stringent HDEO spec?

    My gvw is 24,000 tons. Or 170 potash cars, which ever comes first.

    CF-2 vs natural gas engine oil

    Chevron Marine 1000 has a BN of 12 and is probably available in five gallon pails. Their Taro series starts at 20BN and goes up to 50, but likely only available in 205L drums and larger.

    Today: 20L pail of Petro-Can 80W140 GL5 and six oil filters for my son’s new 2012 F350 6.2L. First Ford truck in the family, which just shows to go ya, never say never. The gear lube was $280 Canuck bucks tax included.

    New GM pickups in Canada

    When one tax is eliminated, it’s replaced with a different one. The only solution is to reduce spending. And we know that will never happen.

    CF-2 vs natural gas engine oil

    The “Motor Oil Geek” made a video on fuel chemistry and how it affects engine wear. From my observations with lpg I knew that his findings had merit and should be investigated.

    CF-2 vs natural gas engine oil

    It makes sense then to keep the load high in industrial applications to produce enough heat to avoid valve seat recession. I owned several LPG fuelled vehicles between 1987 and 2007. Your 2,800 hour valve lash check would equate to over 100,000 miles over the road. The engines that lasted...

    New GM pickups in Canada

    The retractable steps are an option on the Denali, SLT and AT-4 trims. L5P 6.6L with the 10 speed in the HDs with all the emission equipment, maybe for the last year if the Transportation Freedom Act and CRAs go through.

    CF-2 vs natural gas engine oil

    Same goes for California irrigation pumps running on the cng grid. Every thing from 225 slant 6’s to 454 bbc’s operating around 2,500 to 3,000 rpm all day and night. Typically rebuilt with 9.5-10:1 compression, hard valve seats and a little extra top ring gap.

    New GM pickups in Canada

    Not for millennials. You don’t have to take the Sirus radio subscription just because it’s on the window sticker. The AC fee and tire levy are federal environment tax and disposal fees. No luxury tax on 3500s. New for 2025 are 235/80R18 tires.

    CF-2 vs natural gas engine oil

    I think that you should look for an oil with a higher ash content to guard against valve seat recession. Delo 400 SAE 30 or 40 at 1.5 will do.

    ST3614 5k or Fram Ultra 3614 10k two OCI?

    Maybe switch to the longer #3600. If there’s enough room for a PH8A, use that.

    Can I use Pennzoil Platinum 5w40 A3/b4 in my diesel truck?

    Not all CK-4 oils pass the F1 Ford specifications, which includes a minimum phosphorus level that not all CK-4s have. CH-4 for 1998 and newer engines is the oldest API diesel classification that is current. CG-4, CFs and older are all obsolete specifications, but may be displayed on a label...

    Can I use Pennzoil Platinum 5w40 A3/b4 in my diesel truck?

    A3/B4 is applicable to high speed diesel engines in light trucks and cars. SA is 1.0 to 1.6 and minimum TBN is 10. I wouldn’t hesitate using an a3/b4 engine oil in my 2011LML or 2018 L5P Duramax. The oil in topic is currently in my John Deere x320 and my son’s 2013 5.3L SLT. Diesel engines are...

    Can I use Pennzoil Platinum 5w40 A3/b4 in my diesel truck?

    Especially since the EGR valve fell off. I’ve been sitting on my hands for two days waiting for someone to post the correct answer.

    Help me choose a racing oil

    You don’t need to pay an exorbitant price for an exotic engine oil when Delo 400 SAE 40 will work just as well or better for $3.50 a quart. And no, it won’t foam up like beer.

    Synthetic Oil Brand and Weight for Powerstroke 6.7 HO

    I’m still not drinking the Kool Aid, especially if based on an engine oil cost per mile. I’d rather change the oil more often than drag the oil change interval out trying to get my money’s worth out of a much more expensive product. Nevertheless, next year new trucks may not have emission...
