    Schaeffers Supreme 7000 vs Mobil 1

    MG04 The Schaeffer Supreme 7000 is an excellent product and the best bang for the $$$. Its additive package is vastly superior to Mobil 1. I run it in my wife's Honda Odyssey. I ran it in my former vehicle, 1994 Nissan Altima, a known oil abuser. The results were very good for the 9 months...

    10w-30 in new Honda Odyssey

    I will be due for a oil change on the wife's Odyssey in the next two months. I realize it calls for 5w-20 for all climates. Since I live in Hotlanta (ambient temperature range of 65F-95F), I am going to use a BITOG favorite dino oil (Pennzoil, Castrol, Chevron Supreme) for the hot summer. When...

    1996 BMW Z3 with 1.9L spin on filter?

    I am not familiar with European makes regarding oil and filter changes. I am trying to help a friend get the car ready to sell. I have checked several places on the internet and only found Mann filter cartriges for this model. From what I have seen, one needs a 36mm socket/tool to remove the...

    Nissan 3.5 ltr filter

    mikep, I am not sure about the Hastings or Wix. The Bosch 3323, M1 110, and Purolator L14620 are the standard sized filters for the VQ 30 or 35. The Amsoil SDF 20 fits both 3.0 and 3.5 engines. The M1 105 is the oversized filter for the 3.5 liter. I would cross reference the Amsoil SDF...

    05W-30 VS 10W-30 in the southwest

    I would stick with the Chevron Supreme 10w-30. What a great oil for a great price at WalMart. 5w-30 dino seems to shear quickly and burnoff from my experiences in Hotlanta. 10w-30 dino oil is one of the most shear stable grade.

    High Mileage Honda Oil

    Is the car have any leaking seals? I have a 94 Altima with 118,000 that I am doing an auto-rx treatment. There might be some benefit to a high mileage formula preferably Castrol or Pennzoil, not Valvoline. If the price for the latter two oils was less than $2.25 then I would consider buying...

    Taking a sample and made mistake

    I took a sample (Amsoil ASF 5w-30)from my 2k Maxima this weekend the normal way (waiting a few seconds letting the oil flow and sticking the container to get the oil from pan). Unforturnately, I spilled the good sample and the oil had already completed the drain cycle. I just scooped a sample...

    Auto RX question on old car

    I have a 1994 Nissan Altima with 118,000 miles. I am planning to change the oil this weekend along with my 2K Maxima. I like to change them both at the same time since I have a 2.5 year old son and little time. I am currently using Amsoil in both 8-9 month intervals/4 month filter change...
