Ok so this maybe a dumb question but we all know Walmart almost always has Conventional Valvoline WB, Pennzoil YB or Castrol GTX in 5w-30 and 10w-30 on sale. Here in Canada its always $11.88 to $13.88 for a 4.4L or 4.73L jug. Normally priced the oil is $25-$30 but for a 5L jug rather than the...

Ok well when i got my First 2006 Subaru Impreza N/A in 2011, At that time I did a bunch of research and found that the Blue Honeywell OEM's had a big recall and that Purolator and Wix filters were the top pick at that time. Subaru Spec'd a 23psi BPV, the Purolators had a 14-18psi BPV and the Wix...

I rebuilt this old Honda CB450 a couple years ago and haven't found a oil that works well yet, Im hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. The only important mod on the bike is I have ditched the centrifugal oil filter on the end of the crank with a modern aftermarket paper...

Alright I have a 2006 Impreza 2.5i its a higher mileage vehilce at 238 Km. I just resealed the engine completely and after eliminating all leaks have found its consuming about a liter every 1250-1500km. I want to play with oils to see if i can reduce that hopefully to zero but any improvement is...

my father bought a new boat and is looking to be changing all the fluids in the little yanmar 2GMF diesel engine. he asked me what kind of coolant to use. Because its a diesel I dont really know? the manuals and TSB's are old and outdated and there "recommendations" are the same and have long...

Ok its getting cold up here in Canada its getting into the low 40's with it dipping below freezing at night and the 15w-40 rotella conventional I have been running in my vintage 1971 Honda CB450 is starting to worry me on cold mornings. these old honda twins have oil flow problems to begin with...

Ok soon enough im gonna need to start feeding my cafe project oil The cb450 engines are known to have problems with the valve train, primarily wearing out the hard facing on the cam followers, the cams also have a tendancy to get wiped out. i don't know what was originally recomended for this...

Heres a quick question the old Rotella SB 0w40 even though advertised as SB (synthetic blend) was a full synthetic in the 0w40, Now that they have changed the product line to T5 is it still full synthetic or have they changed the oil where its now a synthetic blend and the new T6 is the synthetic?

It seems there are 3 different product lines with 1 wild card (0w-40) Rotella T 10w-30 (conventional) white bottle Rotella T 15w-40 (conventional) white bottle Rotella SB 10w-40 (synth blend) Rotella SB 5w-30 (synth blend) Rotella SB 0w-30 (synth blend) Rotella SB 0w_40 (FULL SYNTHETIC) in...

I understand this is a full synthetic in the 0w - 40 what can you guys tell me about it, I tried it as a experiment on my old 94 corolla with a slight oil burning problem and im very happy to report oil consumption is down like 50% - 75% and after almost a full 5000km OCI its running top notch...

Ive been hunting around for the virgin analysis on it but cant find it, anyways had a few questions... -Is it a low-silicate or a silicate free formula? I have read both!?!? -Would it be ok to use on a engine with magnesium parts? -I want to use it on a older motocross bike (Suzuki RM125) i...

having some new problems with my 94 corolla 1.8L. Recently rebuilt the bottom end due to excessive oil burning, it got new pistons rings and all bearings, also bored and honed, now i have about 25000km's on the new engine and its heading down the same path already. -from the beginning, ran...

Just bought a 2002 Suzuki DRZ 250 and i have no idea what oil to put in it all it says is 10W-40, The bike is 4-stroke, air cooled but... has next to no cooling fins but has a small oil cooler so therefore the 1.1 litres of oil is doing probably 85% of the cooling. Need a little help!?!?!?

hello everyone, have a syntec question for everyone, Ive been using the German castrol 0W-30 and i really like it 7500km OCI drained today still wasn't too dark. Now i know this is a real Group IV PAO/ester basestock and im paying for that! My question is i know the other syntec isn't group IV i...

been paying more attention to oils and i have noticed that only about 60% of oils carry the "energy conserving" designation and that most that dont are high mileage oils. whats the difference in "energy conserving" oils? Or to put it another way how is the "energy conserving" specification...

anyone notice issues with oil consumption using GC? More so than other oils you have used I just rebuilt my engine and its been going through about 1/4 liter every 1000km for the last 9000km since i rebuilt it? I donno whats going on probably not the oil probably has to do with a poorly built...

Has Castrol just made a big change to there formula for the GTX line, Reason Im asking is that lately i have noticed that in 3 of 3 cars the engines have gotten noisy in the valve train area and in 2 of the 3 that go through some oil there consumption issues have gotten worse... Anyone else...

Ok im mega confused with this SM was introduced Nov 30, 2004, But when i go to buy oil i can still buy SL like Castrol Syntec 0w-30 and its newly made like in 2007, I have noticed this with a few oils whats the reasoning behind this....

Now that im seeing API SM on the store shelf i was curious to know if our beloved GC is gonna change its makeup to suit the new API SM oils which on a second note seem to suck. Or should i start hoarding API SL, GC as it seems to run very nice on my newly rebuilt engine......
