Hi guys, the site has really grown since I last visited. I come with a question. With the release of Mobil 1 SUV oil, I am considering running it in my Explorer. The Explorer has the OHV 4.0 (not subject to 5w-20 TSB) and has around 93K miles on it all with dino oil. It does not use a drop of...

I have been using Super Tech Moly lithium grease as my main chassis lube for several months now, and I must say I'm very disappointed in it. I used it to grease the lower ball joints on my Ford Explorer, and it didn't hold up well. I noticed yesterday the balljoints were making a...

I got a few quick questions, I read that Mills Outdoor charages a $10 handling fee for orders under $40. Is this true? Oh, and does anyone know if Tim takes American Express? Thanks!

Well, it looks as if I need to find a new oil. I went to WalMart today, they have no Chevron Supreme 5w-30 in stock. There isn't a tag on shelf for it anymore either. According to the manager, they are no longer stocking the 5w-30. The oil is for a 1997 Ford Explorer, 4.0L OHV. It has 88K...

The vehicle in question is a 1997 Ford Explorer, 4.0L OHV engine. I put a K&N filter in at 30K miles, and now at 87K the K&N is no more. While doing my winter prep I noticed a few things. My air intake tube was filthy on the inside, as was my throttle body!! I have no oil analysis to back this...

Hi Guys, Does anyone have specs, or a spec sheet, for Pennzoil Mercon V? I tried looking it up off the Pennzoil site, but they don't have the Mercon V listed, only Mercon/Dex III. I can get it locally at PepBoys, and this is about the only Mercon V I can find locally. Pennzoil Motor Oils, and...

Hi All, I had Moog lower ball joints put on my Explorer 4x4 to replace the worn out factory "sealed" joints. The new Moog parts are greaseable. So, what's a good grease for ball joints? I would prefer it's something that can be found locally. None of my other vehicles have zerk fittings so I...

Has anyone used this stuff? Here is the data sheet for it. M1 Spray lubricant Seems like a good idea, sort of like WD40 only it's synthetic. It's listed on the Mobil 1 site, but I looked at a few parts stores locally and nobody stocks it. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks. [ August 23...

I was in the parts store today and I noticed Mobil 1 changed their filters. They are no longer white, the ones I saw were almost a gun metal gray. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder what other changes were made?

What do you guys think of Amsoil now using Group III basestock in the XL series oils now? I will give them credit for lowering their price, but a .20 drop to $5.20/quart? It seems like it should have been more than that. The 100% synthetic SAE is only $5.70/quart, it does not really make sense...
