I have been watching Walmart's website to see if PUP has come down in price and I just noticed quite the contrary. Walmart's price for the 5qt jug of PUP is up to $64.83 (12.96 per qt) and the individual qt size is now $11.39. Historically PUP 5W30 has been more at the major parts stores so no...

Maybe some of you wise folks can enlighten me on this. Forgive me if discussed before. I have been impressed with the very good UOAs on this site for Kendall FS w/Titanium. This oil appears to also turns in very good UOAs when used in DI and Turbo DI engines. However, I have noticed that Kendall...

I have been checking frequently to see when PUP 5W30 in the 5qt jugs would be back in stock at Walmart. I noticed last night Walmart had PUP 5W30 in the new packaging in stock but ouch it is priced at $53.71 for the 5qt jug. I liked PUP for my vehicles when it was under $28. for the 5qt jug but...

My 2012 Nissan Frontier 4.0L V6 uses Nissan filter 15208-9E01A which is tiny. I am sure the small filter is all the engine needs but with my power train warranty soon to be over I would like to start using a longer filter that has the same by-pass spec as OEM as well as same dia. and naturally...

Just picked up a couple of Wix 57356XPs for my 2012 Nissan Frontier 4.0. They look well made and I certainly expect good services from these. I am using now, and will be using, Kendall GT Full Synthetic 5W30. For any of you oil filter experts who know how to determine such things, I would sure...

Probably does not matter in the grand scheme of things but the Fram Ultra XG10575 is physically smaller than the AC Delco PF-63 it is suppose to replace by about a half an inch. Additionally, the base plate is very convex reducing the capacity even more as compared to the OEM AC Delco PF-63 The...

I was using Pennzoil Ultra 5W30 and then switched to Pennzoil Platinum Ultra Pure Plus technology when it came out. However, the Walmarts in my area do not carry PPU and it is difficult to find. I can certainly order it online but I have not found any deals on it even online. I can get Kendall...

2012 Nissan Frontier SL 4.0L V6. 5390 miles on vehicle and 3356 miles on oil. Drained FF @ 1000 miles and filled with PYB 5W30. Drained PYB at a bit over 2000 miles and filled with Kendall 5W30 Full Synthetic with Titanium. 0 make up oil. I am hoping the silicon is from left over casting junk...

Sorry folks, do not know how to post this correctly so forgive.... The following is the result of a 3711 mile run of Kendall Full Syn 5W30 in my 09 Enclave 3.6 DI with 23066 miles. The second set of numbers are the results from the previous run using Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 for 3001 miles...

2009 Buick Enclave 3.6L Direct Injection. 8 months / 3001 miles on oil (Do not say it, I know). The miles on the vehicle was 19355 and the OLM was at 36% when the oil was changed. There was no make up oil nor was make oil needed. Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 and Amsoil EAO18. The 2009 Enclave...

6.1 HEMI in an SRT. Factory fill was Mobil 1 0W40 and suggested oil on the cap and owners manual is M1 0W40. So what is your opinion about using AMSOIL 5W40 instead of M1 0W40?

Blackston overview: This initial sample from your Enclave looks terrific. All wear read at or below averages for this type of GM engine, which is a very good indication of normally wearing parts. Universal averages show normal wear after about 5,200 miles on the oil. You could easily run that...

Have I missed finding the responses Pennzoil was to provide to our questions? I believe they were to be posted on Monday June 21.

Maybe this has been discussed at great lengths – if so, excuse unearthing the topic again. I happened on an oil company’s website in Australia. They had an oil recommendation chart so I looked at it. The oil recommended for the same engine I have in my Ford in the USA that Ford recommends 5W20...

I was curious about oils meeting the GM4718M and Honda HT0-06 specs. I am of the opinion that oils meeting these specs are very good and thus the specs I look for. Recently I had correspondences with Texas Refinery Corp. about their automotive oil and specific asked if their PRO-SPEC met GM4718M...

There are many post on BITOG that there is now way that an individual can pick up HP simply by changing from one oil to another. There are many post that also say that butt dyno is nothing but bunk. Whether either of these are true or not is certainly debatable but the following tests results...

In the response from Pennzoil about Ultra there was a question about DI engines, specifically the GM 3.6L DI. The question pertained to the NOACK % of PU & potential impact on intake valves. Pennzoil’s response was as follows: Oil volatility is not a significant factor for inlet valve deposits...

After seeing an outstanding UOA for Texas Refinery Corp (TRC) oil I became interested in it. Their website is certainly not flashy but does contain a lot of information. Information not contained on TRC’s website was NOACK% and HS/TS numbers so I dropped them an email and got the following...

What do you folks think about this oil? Sorry for the formating. Multi-Viscosity Motor Oil Synthetic Blend SAE 5W/20, 5W/30 And 10W/30 FORMULATED WITH GROUP III BASE OILS FOR THE LATEST GASOLINE ENGINES IMPROVED PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES PROVIDES WINTER AND SUMMER PROTECTION CONTAINS...

After this post I will probably be banned from BITOG. Oh well, so be it. I picked up enough PU to change the oil in my ‘04 GM SUV with 5.3L and 43K miles and my ‘09 Enclave with 3.6L DI and under 5k miles. History of the oils used in the 5.3L in order; factory fill, M1 7500, M1, Amsoil ASL, GC...
