    MC seems to work best

    I've been changing the oil in my 2007 Tacoma 4.0 every 3-5k for the last few years using everything under the sun. So far, no issues at all with 95k on the clock. However, I have found oils that sound better in the engine than others. I'm running 5w30 QS HorsePower and so far, no ticking but...

    Long trip towing a boat

    I'm heading to the beach and towing my boat. It's about 500 miles. I just put some Havoline 5w20 in the Tacoma which can take a 20 or 30 weight. I was worried about towing that far with such a thin 20 weight and went with GTX 5w30. Good move or not? It's a 10 hour trip.

    Castrol Edge 5w30

    I used my $10 Advance Auto coupon on 6 quarts of Castrol Edge 5w30 which came to $30 out of my pocket. The Castrol Syntec was priced at 6.99 and the Edge was 6.59 per quart. I figured this would be the time to try it out since I had the coupon. Anyway, lets hope it was a decent purchase for the...

    Australia Forums

    Has anyone noticed that the Australia oil and truck forums pretty much don't even mention 30 weight oils. They talk about how they use 5w40 in a Prius or in a Hilux. I don't know man, some how there is a disconnect between the way Americans think about oil and the rest of the world. Something...

    How can Motorcraft Blend 5w30 have an viscosity index of 163 while Pennzoil Platinum 10w30 has a lower index of 154? Furthermore, the MC 5w20 has an index of 164 which is higher than the MC 5w30. What am I not understanding? I thought synthetic group III had to exceed the 120 mark. Thanks guys...

    LOST

    If any of you watch the show Lost, did you see the Fram oil filters in the show last night? Some of the shows characters were running to the motor pool and they used FRAM as their prop filters. LOL

    Virgin Platinum User

    Well, I couldn't pass up the deal on Pennzoil Platinum at WM for my Summer towing oil. I'm running MC 5w20 right now but wanted a little more viscosity for this Summer and pulling the boat. I'm going to run it June, July and August which should be a good 6500 miles of heat and towing on the oil...

    German Castrol

    Is it worth the $27.99 for 5 quarts that Pep Boys is offering? You get Fram with it but it's still a good savings.
