I want to like Royal Purple, I really do. But I'd like a lot less "meh" for the dollar to be honest. And the fact that it says "Indiana" on the label now instead of "Porter, TX" doesn't help.

What I've been using in my SRT-8 6.4 Hemi... looks like I could easily use it in my flat-lifter vintage big-block Chryslers, too.

This is the current (oct 2019) version, no passenger car API approval anymore. Still very similar to what it always was.

Note: I will post each of these in its own thread with the oil type and date in the title so that it will be easier to find with the site's search engine... but I also wanted to post all three in a single thread for comparison's sake. The oils are: Rotella T6 CK-4 5w40, Redline 0w40, Royal...

Hello, BITOG... I used to be a frequent poster/reader on here, but I've been pretty inactive for a few years and am a bit out of the loop on the current state of oils. Cutting to my question: What's the current recommendation for a good, solid Xw40 or thickish Xw30 oil for a couple of...

Anyone ever used Real Gaskets Tennessee brand silicone gaskets? I'm still in my 40+ -year ongoing battle to find valve cover gaskets that last more than a couple of years in a big-block Mopar with stock factory high-performance manifolds that sit about an eigth inch from the passenger's side...

I've never before bought oil at Home Depot, but I passed their little section today and noticed their prices are pretty good. 5 quart jugs of Pennzoil Platinum for $25.xx, gallon of Rotella T6 for $21.xx, M1 quarts for $5.9x each. Not much selection and no jugs of Mobil products were the...

I put new cast aluminum valve covers on my 69 440 last week, something I've been wanting to do for ages since the original stamped steel covers flex too much for modern hard silicone gaskets. The close proximity of the exhaust manifolds cooks softer covers and Permatex over time, so they always...

I started out dubious of Microgreen, and my test run pretty much confirmed my doubts. The application is a 2014 Chrysler Pentastar v6, and the filter is an MG1009 as shown on the MG website: The only reason I even explored MG is because there are almost no premium or synthetic media filters...

I retired Jan 31st, So I guess my buddy Scout thinks I'm no longer competent to change the oil in my '66 without his supervision...

I while back, I posted asking for experience with auto transport companies- thanks for all the input. I thought I would follow up with what happened. I wound up using E-ship as a the broker to find a carrier. They were generally responsive and helpful, though I think my original sales rep must...

What the subject says- any positive or negative experiences with a particular company in the continental US? More detail: My daughter is relocating to the west coast for graduate school and will be taking her '99 Cherokee out there. All summer I've been tacitly planning to trailer it out behind...

I took an opportunity to get a photo of my '69 Coronet R/T with a P-39 Airacobra last week at a car/airplane show in San Marcos, TX. It was going to be a P-51, but the weather was bad at the Mustang's home field and it couldn't depart, so they pulled the P-39 out on the ramp after its fly-overs...

THE CONFESSION Hi Bob, This is Alan next door. I’m sorry buddy, but I have a confession to make to you. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling in text as I can’t live with myself a...

OK, I don't usually get too involved in "which oil...?" threads, let alone start one. But I'm a little bored, and also curious about a seeming gap in the BITOG universe... There's a LOT of talk on here about M1 0w40 and how great it is. And I agree, I use it in my SRT as well as both my old...

Figured y'all would like this if you haven't seen it yet. Good use for any of those Purolator Classics from the questionable years ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t_pcWPdSDs

In the thread about truckers, the topic drifted into the conventions for signalling intent (other than turn signals) that are common courtesy on the roads. Such as... - flashing your headlamps while in the left lane upon seeing a vehicle ahead and to the right needing to pass a third vehicle...

I should just quit cutting wire backed synth media filters, I have yet to find one that's not perfect regardless of brand. Longest calendar run I've made so far, and the Puro is a little easier than a Royal Purple... But no openings or major irregularities to be found. Date code: Media:

This is why I don't like cellular connected systems like Onstar and Uconnect. http://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/?mbid=social_fb
