Noticed the bottle says "Not for sale in Mexico" So what do you do, go look at Mexico's website for QS and they have SM GF-4 GreenTech (protects the Cat) Motor Oil with Tri-Molynano T..... Cool sounding name and good looking bottles though! Reduces friction 40% over other oils..... Hmmmm...

I have read your dissertations in motor oil and find the quite fascinating but have one question why would say a NEON be spec'd for 5w-30 or 10W-30 here in the US but 10W-40 in UK and 15W-50 or 20W-50 in Australia??? All the same engine made here in Illinois but yet different oils??? This is...

Talking to our rep today and found that numerous XL-7 that have followed the OLM and had the approximately 12K OCI have sludged up the inlet filter screens the the cam phasers causing multiple misfires by the 3rd oil change. Synthetic users not affected. If you are a OLM OCI guy then use...

New Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-30 claiming increased milage. They even have a new calculator. Mine says about 7 miles a tank, 10.1 gallons a year, and like 34 bucks a year!!! Sounds fun!!! So as long as I change oil at greater than 5K intervals I could break even or possibly save a dime...

For Suzuki XL-7 it must also meet GF-4 and NO 10W-30's 76 High Performance Full Synthetic 5W-30 76 Super Synthetic Blend 5W-30 AC Delco 5W-30 Agip 4-SYNT 5W-30 Agip Super 5W-30 Amalie Imperial Turbo Formula 5W-30 Amelie Xcel Super Turbo 5W-30 Brad Penn Superior Fuel Efficient 5W-30 Castrol GTX...

Was looking around and found that my car recommends 5W-30 or 10W-30 here in the US. In UK the recommend 10W-40 or 15W-40. In AUS they recommend 20W-50. All from Shell. HUH!!! Why.... Heck Australia seems to have only a Syn listed down to a 30 and all others are 5W,10W,15W-40 or higher even up...

Just went off Amsoil and other Synthetics and just gone back to FormulaShell conventional and a oversized Motorcraft filter for $3.55 at Walmart. Why FormulaShell? Because it is cheap around here in Menards and that is before they even put it on sale. Under 2 bucks a quart everyday..... Will run...

Imagine if you will FIA points like F1 and here is what nascar would be like with 3 to go.... Note: did not go into tie breakers so all even points are just random for now. Pos Car # Driver Car Make Pts. 1 / 24 Jeff Gordon / Chevrolet / 148 2 / 48 Jimmie Johnson / Chevrolet / 132 3 / 20 Tony...

Just saw a message about poor quality filters loosing parts of the anti-drainback valves and messin up engines. In fact they are now looking for bits of red rubber like substance in the VCT and other places and if found the warranty is NULL AND VOID. Customer Pay!!! They only reddish ones I...

I was reading in my manual that they recommend against Propylene Glycol, saying that it does not transfer heat as well. I have an 04 Neon. Any concerns with this??? Can I just add RedLine Water Wetter and be done with it?

Even though my UOA was excellent (See below) I decided to go ahead and put back in the stock Air box today to help prevent dust intrusion past my K&N. Well surprise, surprise upon removal I found the inside of the filter spotless. Dust on the outside but on the taper to the CAI pipe CLEAN!!! Up...

Was at Pep Boys browsing around (ain't been in a while and had to see Lucas oil in bottles) and found something I found humorous. They had Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle ATF at $3.78 and Pennzoil ATF+4 at $4.41. When you look up ATF+4 applications like my Neon in their Pennzoil book you find it lists...

"Not just another oil change, it's a FRAM oil Change!!!" AAARRRRrggghhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAG GAG Cough cough They invite you to see why it the favorite oil filter.

From the book "How to Select a Motor Oil for Your Car or Truck": Sooner or later, wear from abrasive particles and deposits from carbon and oxide insolubles will interfere with efficient combustion in an engine. Valve train wear (cams, valve guides, etc.) can impact timing and valve movement...

Just installed in my Neon's MTX in place of the Valvoline ATF+4 that was in their. So far not much noticed. Might be a little smoother but not noticeably. If weather forecast hold might have a good check of a cold morning start middle late next week. But so far all is well and it seems happy...

Just installed an EaO96 on my Neon to replace the Motorcraft FL300. Was thinking of doing samples of before and after but decided not to buy a syphon pump. So just changed the filter and topped off. Will just sample at end of OCI. For those who wonder the Oil Light seems to be just a tad...

What do they get to see???

G-MAN wrote You might find this recent ExxonMobil patent interesting. Now this is the best evidence I have seen on the great Mobil GRPIII controversy. At this point I guess we can say yup it is true. You may find one viscosity grade that is more GrpIV than III but on the whole this is...
