You can call me the Valvoline Synpower guy now. This is the stuff for my engine especially when I tow and that's alot. Milage and smothness is there.

With fuel dilution out of the picture, what causes more shearing on oil X vs. oil Y? Same engine and same conditions. I know the higher the HTHS # the better but what does that # represent? Example - Some #'s are grades or ppm ect.

I was at my friends house the other day and in his garage he had Resolute oil SAE 10. I asked him what he was using it for and he stated " My Chevy Lumina " He has been using that oil for years and has 230,000 miles on it. The engine does make noise however. Another guy I was talking to stated...

Just got back after a 250 mile tow with 4 wheelers and gear on a trailer. Again this combo of Valvoline Synpower and RP Max-gear feels real smooth. Over 2000 miles on the Synpower. Milage is around the same as PP. At this point I am liking the Synpower over PP short of a UOA. More people should...

I like Hornady Interlock and Nosler Partition for Deer size game. Winchester Failsafe and Barnes-X for larger game. Powerbelt for muzzleloader. (do not use the aerotip for Deer, they won't expand. I had a very long track job.)

Just got back from Hackensack, MN. towed the Bassboat and alot of gear for 390 miles total in very high winds. The engine feels real smooth with the Synpower. Milage stunk with the 40 mph wind. But the Titan engine got to 75 mph easy and cruised along well. Am I turning into a VSP (Valvoline...

What is the harm storing oil in a garage that will get below zero in the winter at times?

A friend has a 84 chevy 350 V8 motorhome with 50,000 miles on it. When this engine is cold upto 20 mins it runs great. After it warms up it hesitates bad from a stop and the engines seems to be missing when upto speed even at 70 mph. Sounds as if the engine is starving for gas. Why would it run...

Has anyone used Marvel Mystery Oil sucked into the manifold via the vacuum line. And what where your results?

Yes i'm a PP man. I had a good UOA around 3000 miles. Some felt it could have been better. I have never been a long OCI guy. I always change oil between 4000-5000 miles even with SYNS. due to my driving conditions. I tow alot that are usually short trips(10-15 miles) and alot of in town driving...

Is Red Line a GRP V because it contains Polyol ester base stocks? I read on a different site that it is a GRP V because of this..

My 1st attempt at getting an oil sample through the dipstick tub (whatever it's called) was quit funny. I spilled oil all over my Titan,driveway,shirt and burned the crude out of my finger. But I got the sample and it's off to Blackstone labs. Go ahead laugh, I did.
