There aren't any SL-rated oils that I wouldn't use to top up a quart on a road trip. Or SH or SJ for that matter - remember that these oils were "state of the art" just a few years ago. However, given the broad choices we have at any parts store or Wally World, I'd avoid Valvoline and Formula...

Given the name and the distribution model, I thought until recently that Amsoil was distributed by Amway. Amsoil's marketing and distribution turn me off. Same with Zaino. My uncle told me bad stories about Pennzoil about 10 years ago - something about how you could tell how bad it was by the...

I'd stick with the Yokos myself. In my experience, Goodyears have had low grip, bad treadwear, and high prices. Had a set of Eagle ST's last 23k on my S-10 Blazer back in the day. Got 23k (coincidence?) out of the stock Eagle RS-A's on my Neon R/T, then got 25k out of Yoko AVSi's with about...

Weird. The Mobil site did the same for my '99 Ranger. The manual specs 5w30; the site says 5w20. PS. I'm not going to use 5w20. M

Amsoil is great oil, but man their marketing turns me off. Just rely upon your reputation, guys, and enough with the hyperbole and cherry-picked data! just my 2 ppm, M

So most 0w30 Syntec users who buy at Autozone could be running any mixture of (PAO) GC and "regular" (Group III) Syntec in their crankcases? Not making any judgments as to quality of Group III vs. PAO, or even the advisability of mixing, but this kind of variance in a product is mildly...

Hi all, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks - looking forward to being a member of this community! As a housewarming gift, my grandfather gave me his Craftsman mower - the 37719 walk-behind with the Eager/Tecumseh 6.75 hp engine. To my knowledge, the unit's probably five seasons old. Other...
