    Does it really matter what brand filter we use?

    I just compared the STP oil filter and the Bosch. Everything appears the same. The xx stamp to the holes. AT $2.90 I ain't spending anymore money anylonger. I am ready for another vehicle anyway!!!

    Why Synthetic?

    I just can't do it! I have tried and tried and tired, furthest I got on Synthetic was about 5,000 and couldn't take it anymore. I guess what started this all off is friend of mine who has two hondas. Just got a new CRV. His old Honda, has over 240,000 miles on it. And you guess it. Dino oil...

    What's the most expensive product you've ever covered? Motor oil. To evaluate motor oil and we went down to New York City, commandeered 75 taxis, changed their engines, and put oil in religiously every 3,000-6,000 miles. Then we took the engines out of the taxis, looked at the engine parts to...

    Ford Spec

    In plain everyday "English"... There AIN'T NO WAY I WOULD PUT A 20 WT in anything, well maybe a moped.... But I also doubt that. Think about it. When your driving in the summer and it is 98 deg out and the weight of your oil is going to max out at a 20 wgt, and that is when it is new oil...

    A good synthetic?

    Yeah, Even though I don't pay for this site. I think weather a site is good or bad, real or fake proven or unproven, that is the whole idea of a site like this. So we can see and discuss other products that may perform well. We all know now that Auto RX and Schaffers oil is "Good" stuff, what...

    Mobil 1 0w40 in Mercedes V12s

    I can say with all honesty, that the best oil to use is...... WHichever one you are partial too. At least you are doing the maintance on your vehicle. I love to take care of my vehicles, but I would prefer a new one before I hit 200,000 miles. Im at 120,000 right now. But hey, its a Nissan.

    Mobil 1 0w40 in Mercedes V12s

    Well, I keep asking what makes it better, but no one can give me an answer, other then, oh its not really a "Synthetic". Well, you know, Bob's oil is only a semi synthetic, but puts up pretty good numbers. I am in NO way saying Mobil 1 is bad. I just don't think anyone can say that my engine...

    Need some 10w-40 help

    Well, it sure wasn't a problem at one time, that is before the EPA and all the other liberals got into the action. I don't think it will hurt a thing, in fact, I believe in a thicker film cushion. BUt, just my opinion.
