Referring back to the partsamerica link, Pennzoil Truck/SUV in 5W-30 shows up at a whopping 25 cents/per quart !!!!

the plant was definately affected, roughly 7' of water in areas. They are replacing pumps and piping throughout the units. I was told possibly 3 months till thery are completely up and running at full capacity.

The thought of penalizing a company for making a profit is ridiculous. Who decides what amount is too high, the government, a group of liberal politicians? What industry or business sector do you stop at? McDonalds is well above, Burger King, Wendy’s, and the likes. Maybe we should penalize...

Im using Valvoline VR-1 30 wt in my '67 mustang. It has more Zn/Ph than just about anything straight off the shelf. I was set on using a diesel oil until I came across their VR-1 in 30 wt.

yeh, I'm running a 15W-40 right now, I was just trying to find a straight 30wt, happy with 40 overall, the biggest thing I notice with the 40wt is higher oil pressure.

Per valvoline website, this 30wt has high Zn/Ph (if I recall 1300), but the bottle says it meets "SM"? I thought SM oils had to meet lower ZDDP requirements or am I way off on this? I'm trying to find oil for my '67 mustang with flat tappet. thanks

Not sure about where to post this, but PM reviewed this new dipstick, that monitors/measures electrical conductivity of oil, based on water content, additive depletion, maybe some other components. Looked interesting anyway, the website doesn't have a price, but PM said it was around $350...lot...

Speaking of Zmax, buddy at worked bought some. He said his MPG increased as well. He was strictly basing it on the MPG counter on his pickup, so I don't know how accurate and all, but he was pretty impressed with the gain.

Its kinda humorous reading through this thread and others on the forum. If anyone gets any good results from anything other than auto-rx, the results are questioned, this one has an agenda, had to be something else, etc..etc.. Not saying auto-rx doesn't clean an engine, but some of these folks...

still impressive for 80K, the bridgestones were pretty slick at that point, thanks

Mr Bill, same tires for 100K miles? What brand...I need some of those. I bought a new Rodeo in '99 came with Bridgestones that lasted about 75K to 80K

I see no sludge or varnish. That is typical discoloration that will be on any used engine using any oil.

Thanks for the replies !!

I have a '07 farmtrac with a 4 cyl mitsubishi diesel. The owners manual states to use a 15W-40 SF / CD series 3 oil. I have never heard of series 1, 2, 3, etc. can anyone shed some light on this. Furthermore, I know the CD rating is obsolete, so I was thinking of going with M1 High Mileage for...

Well said, tenderloin.

It originally did stand for "compression", it was changed and now per API stands for "commercial", but compression for logical reasons still stands for alot of people.
