    Is this good or bad...no oil loss after 5,000+ miles

    I have read on here and other places that it is normal for "ALL" vehicles to lose about 1 quart after 3,000 miles. In the past I have lost maybe 1/2 quart and once 1 quart after driving over 800 miles roundtrip doing 85+ mph. This is the first time I have gone this long without changing the...

    Is this true, AC/Delco Ultraguard made by Mobil 1

    Someone was telling me that the AC/Delco Ultraguard filters are made by Mobil 1. They said that the upgraded AC/Delco (being the ultraguard) is the same thing as the Mobil 1 filter just packaged for AC/Delco. Also said they do this for oil, mobil 1 will package it as goodwrench and sell to GM...

    How long before synthetic takes over the old dino?

    No this isn't a question of when synthetic will be the type of oil "ALL" people use. It is a question of how long it takes to clean out the old dino in an engine. I switched to Mobil 1 5w30 at 89,000 miles in my 1997 Tahoe, it was fall and getting colder so I went with 5w30. I have had it since...

    Changed my oil for the first time on Thursday

    ...Sorry for a long post...The first time by myself anyways. I have normally taken it to a quick lube place but after hearing some horror stories and paying $50 for them to change M1 oil it wasn't worth it. So I decided to do it myself to save some money and know what is going in the engine. I...

    Bought a Purolator filter for my next change

    I read up on the Mobil, K&N, Napa, Wix, etc... But could not justify spending $10+ for those and the Purolator's are just as good (in the tests). Bought two of the Pureone PL24011 filters, each $5.88 hey had the Premium Plus filters for $3 something. Still not sure what the differences are but...

    Newbie here, made the switch to Mobil 1 yesterday

    Hey, I have been doing some reading on Mobil 1 and have asked on FSC.com about if I should change to Mobil 1. I recently found this website when my friend told me about it. Anyways, I drive a '97 Chevy Tahoe, 5.7 with 89,xxx miles on it. I was worried of making this switch with such high...
