    Tufoil Additive

    I have to agree with Spector! Also we need to know is what kind of new car and engine, the climate and how hard you will be driving it. I use LC, Auto-RX and Fuel Power with synthetic oil and like the results. But my vehicles are all 5+ years old and have no warranty! I run extended OCI's...

    Which of the listed oils in each category would you choose?

    Synthetic: Mobil 1 or GC Synthetic blend: None, I would mix GC and GTX so I would know what the blend really is. Conventional: Pennzoil, or Castrol GTX

    Wonderful GM quality

    I have a 99 GMC Safari, v6, same problem. The lines are poor quality. We get -30C to +30C, lines start weeping after 1 winter, just a drop or two, but d*mn annoying. 1. Measure the distance past the crimping, mine was 14 inches. Measure outside diameter of line, mine was a hair over 1/2...

    Duralube vs. Slick 50 True or Hoax?

    Drifter If you have a really sludged up engine Auto-RX is the only way to go! Just keep watching the Auto-RX site and every now and then they will have a special, kind helps take the bite off the exchange. Always, always have them sent it via USPS, UPS are killers with the brokerage fees. Steve

    Got 5 quarts of GC, need a 6th: what oil to mix?

    Come on now, GC and Mobil1 can play nice together, it's a global marketplace out there. I'm going to try in my wife's car 2l Mobil1 0w30 and 2l GC 0w30 for this winter. Oops I better get on that we have already had 30cm of snow! Steve

    Got 5 quarts of GC, need a 6th: what oil to mix?

    Why not add 1 qt. of Mobil1 0w30 or 5w30 to thin out the GC a bit? GC is closer to a 40 and Mobil1 is closer to a 20. Steve

    What oil would you use if cost/availability were not a problem?

    I'd buy Amsoil GC or Mobil1 from Canadain Tire anytime I felt like it instead of waiting for one of them to go on sale!! Steve

    pour point

    I agree with Cyprs I picked up Esso XD-3 0w30 for $4.52CAN a litre, taxes enivro fees included. If you can find out an oil's cold cranking numbers or even better cold pumpability numbers,(If I understand it right the lower the number the better at the same viscosity.) it will give you a...

    Cr@p "You can buy it in 4x4L 16x1L containers only." In Edmonton they gave me 12 1L bottles, didn't even think to ask for 4L containers! Steve
