So far they have changed the oil twice in my truck. each time right after I leave the dealership I stop and check the oil level and color. it has been new oil and level ok both times. there is no dought that they changed the oil. with what I am not sure. I tell them each time to make sure they...

I have a 2010 Tundra 4.6L 4X4 truck with 12K miles on it. I have been having Toyota dealership change the oil for me since they gave me a 24 month free maintenance. They are supposed to be putting in Toyota 0W20 oil which is synthetic oil and supposed to be very good. couple of months after the...

I have been trying out different synthetic oils in my 2008 Tacoma 4X4 for a good while. Changing oils early, so just I could try another type to compare the differnce. I have tried out Amsoil, PP, Val.Syn Power, Castrol Synthec and Red line. I have to say that based on my personal experience...

Originally Posted By: live_to_hunt Go on the purolator web site I am sure they make an ATV filter for your quad. I just found one for my Suzuki Eiger I ordered 2 on amazon $16 Shipped. Yes, they do make oil filters designed for ATV. You have to look under motorcycle filters, there is a link for...

Originally Posted By: Panzerman Ive been using Purolator Pureones car filters on my Polaris 700 Twin and 500 Sportsman and they work fine, so far no problems. Superior filters at a much cheaper price. I bought a case of Emgo or whatever they are called before I heard about using car filters and...

Thanks alot Whitearrow and Hitzy. that was usefull information. I went to Wal-mart last night and found the stuff and saw that the RTS 5W-40 states on the back that it is JASO-MA rated. I am going to put it in my ATV at next oil change which will be soon. Appreciate all your help.

I just ordered 11 qts of Redline 5W-20 for two full oil changes. Can't wait till I try it, but it will be a while since I just recently changed the oil in it. But I will let you all know what my experience is with it. I am optimistic about it. I have done quite bit of research and everything is...

If there was no damage to the gasket and the sealing surface was clean, then it is possible that the oil filter was not tight enough, especially if you just hand tighten. those regular purolator filters with smooth outer shell, are hard to hand tighten adequately, especially once your hands get...

My previous car was a 98 Corrolla, when I traded it in couple of years ago it had about 175K on it and ran like a swiss watch. Never consumed or leaked any oil. I had bought it brand new and did almost all routine maintenance on it, including vast majority of oil changes myself. The only reason...

I have already tried Amsoil. 0W-20, and I tell you, was not impressed at all. seemed like my engine was noisier with it and I felt engine was not as smooth as when I had other synthetic oils in it. I drained it before 4,000 miles and put in Castrol Edge 5W-30 in there and that is what I have in...

Originally Posted By: Ringo My engine seems to run very very smooth and quiet with the Red Line. Admittedly, I am on my first OCI with this oil, and have only used a couple of dino 5w20's, so I do not have a lot to compare it to. I get my oil for free, so the cost is a mute point for...

Originally Posted By: cwing6 Originally Posted By: Deer_Slayer yet to find one that I am impressed with Probably need to be more specific to find out what you want to know. Any of the current synthetics will probably yield similar results - generally good. I like M1 and Synpower in my V6...

I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 truck and been trying out different brand oils in 20 wt. mostly synthetic and yet to find one that I am impressed with, maybe except Castrol Syntec 5W-20 which surprised me. But still not settled on one particular oil yet. Any suggestions?
