11-22-14 Blackstone Comments: DAVID: You're keeping your oil changes nice and steady, and that's great for establishing good trends. It can be hard to tell how an engine is wearing when the oil changes are all over the place, but your Saab is wearing well at 103,000 total miles on the engine...

Sorry if this has been discussed--I searched but didn't find much. Have a '99 VW Passat 1.8 Turbo Auto and owned since new with 180,000 miles on it. Overall pretty good shape. Engine probably uses 1 quart every 1,000-1500 miles. Car is only driven 7,000 mi. per year. Have used Valvoline...

Sorry if this has been asked before--did a search but no luck. I have 2 oem oil filter for my '99 VW Passat that I bought back in 2003. Was wondering if they are still good or if the paper or whatever in the filter might degrade over time.

Been using M1 since my '09 Saab was new and now has 80,000 mi. I see I can easily get RP online from Jegs for under $8 per quart with free shipping-hard deal to beat. I do about 8-10,000 mi. OCI's and the car is tuned. I know M1 can go over 14,000 mi. without a problem as I did several UOA's. I...

Many sell the MaxLife blend but can't seem to find the full synthetic. Wallyworld lists it but is out of stock. I thought I saw it at a store not too long ago.

Hi, I searched and didn't find much. What's the deal with this oil? Had coupon for the $25 oil/filter change that I couldn't pass up for my 1971 Olds Cutlass 442 that has only had Valvoline in it its whole life. The service mgr. said the Proline was made by Valvoline so I said go ahead and...

Sorry about the formatting issue here as I tried but no luck. Blackstone's Comments. DAVID: This makes two good reports for your Saab. The longer oil run yielded higher iron, which is normal since that metal tracks most directly with time on the oil. The other metals stayed about as steady as...

I asked this a while ago but didn't get a response. Was wondering exactly what auto tranny fluids might have this. Note that the Toyota T IV and JS3309 is NOT the same spec or the equivalent. I've used the Saab oem fluid but would like to use a more readily available one. The OEM fluids don't...

First UOA on this car however I had the same car and engine in an '06 MY. Mostly ran M1 0W40 as it's the dealer fill and recommended oil. I've done UOA's in the past the M1 outperformed GC 0W30 and RP 0W40. Will probably continue with it unless there is some compelling reason not to. I ran up...

Was wondering who makes their oils and fluids?

Car is a 2006 Saab 9-3 SportCombi Aero that has the 2.8L V6 Turbo and 6 speed auto. Factory hp is 250 hp and 258 lb. torque however I "tuned" it and is now 295 hp and 340 lb. torque--lots of power. Car was bought new in April 2007. First oil change was done in May 2007 with about 3700 miles on...

Have an 06' Saab 9-3 SS V6 with the Aisin-Warner 6 speed. Shop overfilled by 3.5 quarts. A few days after while on a road trip I noticed it hunt around for a gear when doing a hard downshift. All other shifting was fine and normal. So while on my business trip I stopped by a Saab dealer and...

Sorry about this basic question. Been running the M1 0W40 in an 06' Saab 9-3SS V6 turbo. Saab requires the GM LL 025A spec for their oil. I'm well out of warranty so thought I'd maybe give the RP a shot. BTW, I've done a couple UOA's on the M1 and it's been very good after 12,000 mi. So being...

Just bought a new Kawasaki Ultra 250X Jet Ski. 250 hp. so quite powerful and fast. Manual says 10W40. Can't quite figure out what type of oil to use. What are some recommendations? Thanks.

I have an 06' Saab 9-3 Sport Combi and it specifies the Saab fluid or a JS 3309 fluid. Is the Toyota T-IV fluid the same or does it have the JS3309 approval? BTW, I have an Aisin 6 speed auto. Thanks.
