    Long Life 15W40

    Picked up some Long Life 15W40 to use in the wife's Outback this summer. Have been using the Pennzoil HM 10W30 the last few changes. Have been reading a lot of infor on the Long Life here and how the Diesel Oils keep the engines cleaner. The car is a 2.5L and has about 116K on the clock. The...

    Pennzoil 5w20 Synthetic

    Had been using Pennzoil or Chevron 5w20 in my 97 F150 4.6L. Found the synthetic Pennzoil today. Going to run it out to about 4k and do an analysis. Just got finished with my Auto-Rx rinse cycle. John

    weird noises - M1 5W-30 in Ford 4.6

    I think it's the tranny. My F150 does the same thing. I believe the Crown Vic has the same tranny, 4R70W or AODE. It has an open cooler line with no thermostat like the 4R100 used in the Lightning and some of the F-150's, 250's, etc... I'd let it warm up for a good two minutes before taking off...

    Auto-Rx Initial Results

    Drained the initial Auto-Rx application from my 97 F150 mixed with Pennzoil 5W20 and my wife's 96 Outback mixed with MaxLife 10W30. The oil in both was very dark. The drain from the F150 is usually amber. They both had a reddish tint to it as well. I will be cutting open the filters and trying...

    Auto Rx Andecdote

    About 375 on my wife's first of 2 treatments of Auto-Rx. She came in yesterday and said the car feels much more spunky. Not scientific, but she didn't know I did anything to it. It's a 96 Outback with 111K. Has used Dino all it's life and always changed before 4k. So I'm hoping with the 2...

    Rinse Oil

    Guys, I have some Castrol High Mileage 5W30 I was going to use to do the rinse on my wife's Outback. Would this be an OK oil to use, as it'll be needing that weight around the change time? Thanks, John

    Oil and Auto-RX

    Guys, What brand of oil and weight is recommended with Auto-rx for the rinse phase? I typically use Mobil1 5w30 in my 97 F150 4.6L. But today I changed to Pennzoil 5W20 with the cleaning phase (it was time to change anyway). Should I stick with the same for the rinse phase and then switch back...

    Pennzoil Truck & SUV

    Has anyone had any experience with this oil? I was thinking of using it in my brother's 97 F150. He's never consistent in what he uses and he can't really swing M1. I can get the Pennzoil for $2 a quart at WalMart. It seems to be a blend maximized for stop and go, short trips, and bigger...

    Oil Recommendations

    Guys, Can you recommend a good non-synthetic oil to use in my wife's Outback? It is a 2.5L with about 110K. I have been using Maxlife 10w30 for the past few changes. Was using Castrol GTX or Valvoline All climate before that. It uses very little oil. But I have to replace the valve cover...
