I hate to even ask this. But I have an Acura RDX turbo which has a oil weeping problem at the oil filter housing rubber seals where the filter holding housing mounts to the block as a separate part. If I could choose, I would rather replace the rubber seals at this oil change. But it's not...

I have a 450cc racing ATV... turns 11k RPM... shares oil for all, engine-trans-wet clutch. And this engine is a cam/bucket setup too, friction not roller. When I first bought it I broke it in on OEM oil but noticed that after a few hours a machine that was a really phenomenal shifter became...

What happened to the 5 quart jugs of this oil? I can't find it anywhere. I emailed mobil 1 about it and they just sent me a reply to call them? This has been a bargain for me that has worked well for my application... so I am rather frustrated about the prospect of paying $10 qt for it when I...

OK, this is for an off road clamp-on application. Single cylinder bike motor... K&N passes dust... I can see it in my intake... Brand new, factory oiled, one short ride. It passes dust, end of story. Maybe some tacky filter oil would stop that? I don't know... So anyways, there is my 3...

Anyone have any info on this stuff? What I have here is API SM On the bottom of the bottle it has.... 04311612-1 514 06 WNE Like the synthetic has Wpp on it for Warren Performance Products.

I have a race bike (atv) that seems to like this stuff... seems to stand up to it better than the 5w40 Rotella. Problem is, I don't really know how to tell how cold it is OK to use the 15w50? Coldest weather I would start it in would be like upper 20's after a snow... as snow is about the only...

What in the heck could this be coming from in a new dirt bike engine? It's had several short drain intervals, as it is a 450cc. I keep seeing it, no matter the oil used, etc.. So I am kind of concerned. Wear metals? Clutch particles?

I noticed new funky bottles on the shelves the other day. Quart bottles of dino... They sorta look like a Castrol syn bottle, but are not. I was thinking that Mobil was supplying the dino before. Is that correct? Has that changed now?

Hey guys... I just wanted to share this experience and get the thoughts of the masses... I started doing extended OCI's... and my first one I used the old Havoline 10w30. I ran it 4,000 or 5,000 miles before I could no longer resist draining it. After some consideration, I decided to refill...

I sure hope you guys can help me help a friend on this one. Here's the deal... This friend has a zero turn mower just like mine. But he has a newer design hydraulic system on his machine. Mine is a large capacity system that runs on 20w50 motor oil. His is a smaller capacity system with pumps...

OK guys, I have an interesting viscosity recommendation chart to share. (all temps F) -30 to 0 ----- 5w20 -30 to 30 ----- 5w30 -10 to 80 ----- 10w30 -10 to 120+ ----- 10w40 or 10w50 10 to 70 ----- 20w20 10 to 120+ ----- 20w40 or 20w50 30 to 100 ----- SAE30 85 to 120+ ----- SAE40 Oddest chart...

The search feature just doesn't seem to be a lot of help to me. Has anyone seen a recent VOA on the SuperTech 10w30 sythetic (API SM/CF)? Someone told me this was a 'Group III' oil. What does that mean?
