    Chevron Delo 400 Synthetic HDEO 0w30

    I know that this is a pretty rare oil, does anyone use it? I just bought a 5 gallon bucket of it (for a pretty reasonable price and got a free Snickers too! Ha!) I'm going to do a virgin oil sample and then use it in my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that has some light sludging due to previous owners.) My...

    Westward Industries Go-4 Interceptor, Unknown Oil

    If you don't know what a Go-4 Interceptor is, it's a 3-wheeled vehicle made by the Canadian company Westward Industries, that is used as a parking enforcement (Meter Maid) or security vehicle. Mine uses the 1.3l engine and 3-speed automatic transmission as a Ford Festiva (the 2 rear wheels are...

    Delo 400 LE 5w30 Synthetic

    First, here's a link to an article about the new 5w30: http://www.thetrucker.com/News/Stories/2...mprovement.aspx I'm currently running the 5w40 variety of Delo 400 LE in my Saab and seems to be doing well, but I have noticed a decrease in mpg over when I was using 10w30. Now that I also have...

    Brake fluid change and related questions

    The only fluid I've yet to change in my LLV is the brake fluid. On the reservoir caps it says to use Dot 5. It appears that at some point after the last brake change that either the previous owner or a shop mixed Dot 3/4 in with the Dot 5. I can understand why they spec'd Dot 5, as the LLV with...

    Unknown 15w40? - Unknown Mi. - 1994 Chevy LLV 2.2L

    I bought my LLV (same as a mail truck) from a state surplus auction. I have the vast majority of the maintenance records, but don't have a record of the last oil change (the oil could have been run for less than 6,000 miles or as long as 9,844 miles. Who knows...) Oil Filter: AC Delco PF47E Air...

    Delo 400LE 5w40 - 5,055 mi. - 1998 Saab 900S N/A

    This was my first UOA since I bought the car a little over a year ago. Prior oil to the Delo was Rotella T-5 10w30 (can't remember if I had put some Auto-Rx in with the Rotella also.) No additive was added with the Delo. Driving pattern was probably around 75 highway/25 city. Oil Filter: Napa...

    Delo 400 LE Synthetic 5w40

    I've been debating what oil to use in my car: QSUD 5w40 isn't available in my area and was going to experiment with Delo 400 Synthetic 0w30 but found it's not available in the quantity I want. I know many people use Rotella T6 with great success (I'm currently doing an Auto-RX cycle using...

    Chevron Supreme Synthetic 5w40

    Firstly, I've done the searches and read the other threads in regards to it. Is anyone currently running this in their vehicle or have run it in the last year or two? Since QSUD isn't available at Big Lots here, I've been searching out an alternative for my Saab 2.3L N/A. I've run Chevron...

    2003 Chrysler Sebring Power Steering questions

    My brother's 2003 Sebring (2.7 v6) has been "chirping" sound when it's first started and when the steering wheel hits the bump stops of the power steering. It only does it cold, so in hoping to help resolve the issue, I'm putting in new Napa ATF+4 fluid. I also want to plumb in a Napa #3033 fuel...

    Brother's 2003 Chrysler Sebring with a 2.7l v6

    My brother bought his Sebring a few years ago used. He's not mechanically incline and was very hard on his old car, as far as routine maintenance. Since getting his Sebring (which just clocked 100,000 miles) he's just taken it to quick lubes for cheap conventional oil changes (and had a few bad...
