Hers a link to grantcunningham.com discussing firearms lubrication. I'm a avid shooter and am always looking for the best lubes for my AR, M1A, 1911s, etc. Discuss. Just want to ad that for the AR I have been using Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 as my AR oil. I found that any carbon on the bcg...

I have a 2004 Ford E350 with a V10 modular motor. GVWR is 13500 lbs. Truck is used as a delivery truck (looks like a U-Haul van) and am wondering if 0W20 Amsoil would be a good oil for it and if so what max OCI would be wise? Right now I am using Schaeffers 5W20 Series 7000 and Wix filters...

Anyone know what is the difference is between the two? Are they interchangeable?

I'd like to read some opinions on winter storage (4-5 months duration) and how this period of inactivity relates to oil. Some people feel strongly that oil should always be changed after a vehicle comes out of storage. Changing oil prior to storing according to this theory is a waste since it...

Engine was getting way too noisy, (valvetrain noise) and this was driving me nutz . Dumped the Pennz HM 10w40 with only 3K miles! Oil "looked" funky but was we all know looks don't mean a think when it comes to oil . Filled with Schaffers 7000 15w40 and new Wix filter. Way quietier now. I...

Has anyone opened up a Fram HP oil filter? If so how are they constructed? Anything like the rest of the Fram line or are these quality filters? Thanks

have a put few hundred miles on the 400 Pontiac (67 GTO) since I freshend it over the winter. All was going real good until I started to notice oil on the X-pipe, trans, bellhousing and oil pan. This all got worse since I switched from 15W40 Penzoil to 10W30 Schaeffers #703. The first thing I...

This is a never rebuilt, 120,000+ mile Pontiac 400 that runs good and does not burn oil. Mechanic has been using 30WT since he believes it is "better" for old engines. Car is run in MN and sometimes in cold weather , road conditions permitting . Stay with 30WT or what? [ April 17, 2003...

Is an SL rated automotive oil what I should be using in an old iron V8 with a flat tappet cam? After reading about the reduced level of anti wear additives in current "S" oils, I am concerned that these may not be what I should be running. Others have advised to use a 15W40 oil as this type has...
