It's the mid to late 90s all over again!

The only "green" antifreeze I will ever use is Peak's 50/50 pre-mix.

Those people make minimum wage and most all of them know nothing about cars or trucks. What did you expect again?

If it is 15W40, go with the Delvac.

I run the Rotella 10W30 year round in my Jeeps. No noises or problems at all......even in below 0F temps. I think you'll need to worry more about your battery than your oil in my opinion.

The Cab-over design is dead in the US. I think it finally died in the 80s. Every big rig these days is of a conventional design, where the engine is out front and the cab is over the trans. It makes engine maintenance much easier and it is probably cheaper to produce and assemble the vehicle as...

I wouldn't put SuperTech oil anywhere near my cars and trucks, let alone in them.

There's nothing wrong with using the Rotella 5W40 in a gas engine. Before Castrol released the Syntec 5W40, I used the Rotella in various gas burning VWs for years. If the Castrol didn't exist, I'd still be using the Shell.

Just shake your bottles up before using or don't buy so much oil if you aren't going to use it in a timely manner. I don't keep more than a couple of gallons of my favorite oils in the garage at any one time.

It hasn't made it to my Sam's yet.

Conventional-Mobil Delvac 1300 Synthetic-Redline 15W40

Finally.........someone that understands.

Nobody that I knew ran conventional oil in them. As far as them not being expensive, they are. The GN/T Type, especially GNX, isn't worth as much without it's original numbers matching engine. The value of the car is directly related to the engine (and drivetrain) in most all cases. And to build...

Since you insist on knowing, I'll brag a little. My dad had a 86 GN that he bought new back in the early 90s that I wrenched on. Long story short, that car went from a mid/high 13 second stocker to a high 9 second car-only only 1 turbo and with a 2004R trans and with the stock 10bolt rearend. It...

Castrol Syntec 5w40 and Mobil 1 0w40 meet all the VW specs or if you want something more robust, Shell Rotella T SYN 5w40. I personally run the Syntec 5w40.

Yes they do. I use it in my Jeep 4.0. It is NOT synthetic-it's conventional diesel oil. I can easily find it at the local Menards (home improvement store) in gallon jugs.

I'm not going to argue with you or anything, but I just happen to have TONS of experience with Buick 3.8 Turbo engines, but I'm not going to bore you with all that. Point being, anyone that knows anything about turbo engines in general knows you only run synthetic oil in them. To each their own...
