I'm at 4,550 on MC right now, I just bought a filter to change it in the weekend after next (6000 Miles) But I'm thinking about pushing it "just because" I'll run to 7500, do a UOA and leave it in there.

I dont like it. Quote: dint like the grip coating just feels eh, like a coated Christmas ornament. Couldn't have said it better. And all the glitter comes off in your hands. I can see the glitter all over the gasket coating, and some down inside the filter itself I stopped and bought it...

[censored] I bet it pours like honey

no it was my fault. it was my stupid stupid stubborn fault

I had a 96 ranger too (the one that cought fire) had just under 300,000 miles on her, Ran castrol gtx 20w-50 in it, and it made no noise, drove like new, used ZERO oil, and no smoke.

Any Input on Shell Rotella T 5-40 ?? Is this good stuff ? Is there an amsoil equivalant ? http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?site...tellasynth.html

I'm nearing my turbo install on my truck in my signature below. Been gathering parts for close to a year. Shopping for oil. I would like a full synthetic, possible a HDEO like rotella. The lightest one I can find. I want to stay as close to the factory 5-30 recommendation as I can.. Are the...

The previous 50,000 miles were on castrol gtx conventional 0-20 And it holds just under 6 quarts and it's clean coming out with 5000+ miles. I love this motor I've only had PP in it for the last two intervals. And those intervals were 4 qts 5-20 and 1.5 qts 5-30 The other half quart of 5-30...

A PP user here, went in for oil, it wasnt on sale at walmart. Something about the simplicity of the motorcraft bottle has captivated me though. They had the 5 quart motorcraft blend 5-20 jug on sale for 9 bucks. Thats what 1.80/Qt ? I feel I'm taking advantage of the synthetic oil in my truck...

Originally Posted By: theedge67 Well, that was quite an adventure there. The only part I don't believe is the 8,700 mile part. There is no way in hades that engine only had 8,700 miles on it. No way. Unless it got those miles put on over the course of 4 years and was driven every day. Same...

Originally Posted By: cos All are good but the forum favorite is PP. I haven't seen 5W20 PP in a 5 qt jug at my Wal-Mart. Do you have it at yours? PP At my local wal mart 5-20 5 quart jug, 17.43 Thats where I buy mine at. My local AA has the pureone filter for 5 bucks. Oil changes are 22...

I plan on having this truck for well over 300K miles (seriously) It's coming up on 90K miles now and I drive over 30K miles a year. So in less than 7 years I'll be at 300K miles, and I plan on having it at least that long.. Like I said, I was just wondering if an engine with conventional oil at...

I'm very tired and it's past my bedtime, this will be my last post tonight. Amsoil and castrol were given as examples. I mean, is a high quality synthetic lubricant protecting as well at 15K miles as it is as 5K Miles. I'm a 3000 Mile guy, now that I'm using synthetic I'm a 5000 mile guy. I...

Was thinking about this with fills such as amsoil. I'm a PP user at 5k mile OCI's in my toyota truck. Was looking at the guys running high OCI's on products like amsoil. Does the level of protection go down ? I mean Lets say, amsoil full synthetic at 15K Mile interval. On your average car (no...

3 1/2 Gallons of oil burned every 15 weeks and you're not fogging our your neighborhood ?

he said it happened 3K miles after the service in the original post (if I'm reading it right) Theres no way in [censored] you lost 3 quarts of oil in 3000 miles without seeing a puddle under the car at work or at home. And without mosquito fogging your neighborhood. My old ford ranger with 350+K...
