I recently just happen to look at one of the receipts and noticed the oil was basically conventional by the part numbers. Car has 25k on it now. Would it be safe to switch to a blend or a full synthetic at...

    Kawasaki FS651v on Husterl

    I stopped by dealer and wanted to pick up some Amsoil for motor and they were recommending the 20w-50 . Nowhere in manual states that viscosity. What is the opinion of others.

    multi viscosity vs SAE

    Just purchased a new mower and the manual has oil recommendations but it stated that the motor could have oil consumption on the multi viscosity oils like 10w-30. Would it be best to use SAE 30 being the mowing temperatures are above 60 degrees most of the time.

    Dealer puts different from manufacturer specs.

    Does any one no why the dealers put a 10w-30 instead of the manufactures weight recommendation of 5w-30. Is it just cost and they buy so much in bulk?

    Does anyone see any problems switching from conventional to a blend at 16500 miles on '07 Silverado pickup? Oil change interval is around 3000 miles on the conventional. Truck only pulls a boat once in a while. I did not want there to cause a problen with seals or such if I switch. Any thoughts?

    tiny paint spots on car finish.

    What can take real tiny paint spots off the finish of a vehicle? I can remove it with the touch of the nail but not by just rubbing. What can be used and not hurt the finish at all. I thought maybe one of those bug remover pads but I am not unsure.
