Has anyone else noticed that Castrol has issued new MSDSs for their German produced 0W-30 and 0W-40 products? The latest documents indicate >=25%-=50%-<=75% PAO.

The MSDS for 0W-40 German Castrol lists "Pentadecane, 7-methylene-, mixed with 1-tetradecene, dimers and trimers,hydrogenated" as the base oil. Does anyone have a clue what this is (PAO, Ester, baby oil, etc.)? Thanks!

Your thoughts? Analysis by Blackstone... Thanks! Comments: It's another good report for your Audi. This oil was run just under 6,000 miles, but you couldn't tell it by looking at wear. All wear either held steady or improved over what we found last time and that is an excellent sign that no...

I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Coupe (3.0L 6G72 engine/F4A51 4 speed Auto Trans) with 55,000 miles on it and the ATF needs to be replaced at 60,000 miles. I know Chrysler uses a propriatary ATF, so I went to the dealship to pick some up. Here's where I'm confused , the manual states that only...

Does anybody know if there's a Mobil 1 cross reference for the Purolator L34480? Thanks in advance!!

OK, we’ve had short trip oil recommendations (and commentary ), now how about some long trip recommendations? I just bought a 2004 Sebring Limited Coupe (Mitsubishi manufactured in Normal, IL) with the Mitsubishi 3.0L V6 @ 200HP. I’m in a sales-related job for which I cover the entire state. As...

I just purchased a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Coupe with the 3.0L V6 Engine. The applications indexes that I've looked at to date call for a Fram PH3593A/Purolator L14459 or equivalent filter. This filter is roughly the size of a Campbell's soup can. Can anybody give me part number for an oversized...

I know this question has been asked before, but ended up as an Amsoil/Hastings/Baldwin comparison. I have found a local source that sells Baldwin filters for $4 each. Does anyone have experience with these filters, are they any good? Thanks!

I recently bought a case of Schaeffer's Supreme 7000 10W-30 (the store was out of 5W-30). The temperature here in Wisconsin isn't quite as cold as our Canadian friends see; -20/-25°F is about it. Will 10W-30 be acceptable for this application, or should I change to 5W-30 before it starts getting...

What is the "general" opinion about Chevron Supreme Synthetic? It appears to have excellent numbers. Is it a "true" synthetic or a Group III synthetic wannabe? Thanks in advance [ July 02, 2002, 08:54 AM: Message edited by: Scott in WI ]

Is the mineral oil component of Schaeffer's Supreme 7000 group II or III? I've been a long time Mobil1 customer (5W-30, 7500 mile drain), but with the latest "improvements" and increased price, a change is in order. I drive a PT Cruiser 55 miles each way to work (appox. 3000 mi/month). 90%+ is...
