    Forgive me if this has been posted, but it's dated August 18 2004 plus I did a topic search and didn't come up with anything. I found this interesting and a good read for us oil geeks who are interested where the base oils in our favorite brands are cracked...

    I'm thinking about doing a Delo 10w30 UOA

    I've noticed more than a few of you would be interested in seeing a UOA on Delo 10w30. I ordered a case of gallons and a case of quarts from my Chevron distributor in May 2003 and I'm using it in my 1999 Suburban 5.7L. I changed the oil earlier this week and I'm considering doing a UOA at...

    Where can I buy Conoco Hydroclear?

    After parsing and distilling various 5w20 UOA's (especially MNgopher's) I've pretty much decided to go full speed ahead with this grade for my 2003 F150 4.6L.

    Chevron Delo 15w40 in '99 GM 5.7L V-8? Or is it too "thick" ?

    I've been browsing this board since Nov. '02 and I'd like opinions from any of you esteemed and enlightened individuals who care to impart one. I want to go with Chevron Delo 400 on my next change for my 1999 Suburban with 74,000 miles, for several reasons which include the outstanding UOA on...

    "wait, i have to get an oil filter"

    Speaking of "deer in the headlights stare", how many of you have scared off people you encounter at AutoZone or Wal-Mart when you say "don't buy the Fram", or "why are you buying 20w50 for your 2002 Tahoe?" or "why pay $3 for that synthetic blend when you can buy the Chevron Supreme for $1.09" ...
