    Rig #2 the same as synthetic gun oil?

    I just received a 4.5 oz can of Birchwood Casey Rig #2 gun oil. The can actually had a "Rig #2" label applied over what turns out to be a can marked as synthetic gun oil. Do you think Rig #2 gun oil is just Birchwood Casey's regular synthetic gun oil relabeled? I sent Birchwood Casey an email...

    Schaeffer #705 versus #707 confusion

    Hello, I've been off the radar for a while so I was a little surprised when I went into the local NAPA store for my good old Schaeffer 20W-50 V-twin approved racing oil only to be greeted by a new bottle. This new container for product #705 no longer says v-twin approved so I was a bit...

    Just one kind of Mobil 1?

    I use Mobil 1 5w-30 am wondering if there is a more than one kind? I don't mean high-mileage or SUV types but I mean are there different grade regular Mobil 1 oils? Specifically, is there a difference between a bottle that says "contains supersyn" versus one that just says "fully synthetic"...

    Who has experience with Schaeffer in their car?

    I am interested in the possibility of changing over to Schaeffer 7000 5W-30 in my passenger car. Does anyone have any long term experience with this oil after long term usage, say 50,000+ miles?

    Harley Syn-3 UOA?

    Has anyone done an oil analysis on Harley's Syn-3 20W-50? I did a search and didn't find anything. Maybe it's there but I don't know how to find it. I would sure like to see some real world numbers on this stuff.

    Do many motorcycle oils really meet Harley specs?

    I've been reading with some interest the various threads about running Rotella and other oils in Harley Davidsons. I have an '05 Road King Classic - 88", bone stock and extended warranty. My owner's manual says to use a CF-4 diesel oil if I can't get Harley oil. OK, I know CF-4 is retired and...

    Delvac 5w-40 in place of Brand X 5w-30?

    I have a 2001 6-cylinder Mercury Villager, nothing special about it, and am wondering if I can use a 5w-40 diesel oil in place of the standard 5w-30 stuff? No special reason, just wondering. Thanks, Dennis

    CF same as CF-4 rating?

    Is a rating of CF the same as CF-4? I ask this because my Harley Davidson owner's manual says to use a 20W-50 that meets CF-4. I look at my bottle of Mobil-1 and is just says CF (among other designations). Thanks, Dennis
