I keep reading everyone is looking for GC and some cannot find it. The Autozone in Mundelein, Illinois has two full racks of it(50+ bottles) as of yesterday and always has it. The Autozone closer to my house only carries the USA made stuff everytime I have checked yet this Mundelein store always...

Although the 0W-40 has the "0" designation, it is heavier than the 10W-30 when cold. Because cold start up is the largest threat to engines, wouldn't running a 10W-30 be better than the 0W-40 during the winter? Am I missing something? I use the 0W-40 in my 1997 SAAB 9000 Turbo now, but I need to...

I just took my wifes '95 Odyssey in to my local Honda dealer for their $23.99 Express Lube and I asked why type of oil they use. They said all their oils are Amoco Gold either 5w-20 or 5w-30 in my case. I did a search but nothing really informative came up, any ideas the quality of this oil...

I saw some Mobil 1 0W-40 on the shelf at AutoZone and it is A3/B3 AND "Energy Conserving". I never knew there was such a thing and the other xW-40 oils did not have the "Energy Conserving" inside the starburst.

I just went to pick up a Napa Gold air filter for my Wifes Honda Odyssey and they were identical except for frame color. The same amount of pleats with the same red line running across the tops and both made in N. Korea although the Napa Gold box had the "WIX" stamp on it. The Napa Gold frame...

http://www.motorminute.com/Service/Bonehead.pdf This article is a perfect summary to what I have always been say about not using oil additive and engine cleaners. Who are these experts on this board that are pushing these engine cleaners like Auto-RX and Neutra and such and then claiming these...

The Mobil website does not show and the bottle only has the "starburst" with the SL designation. Thanks in advance!

The following is from a VW site I read regarding Mobil 1 and the comparision between it and Synpower: Is this not accurate, right? "M1 latest formulations no longer use PAO-esters in most of their oils. They took notice of the court rulings and decided to join in with the others and now use...

I just took the Jeep to a different dealer for a free oil change promotion and they use Mopar 10w-30 oil. Who makes this? It is in a black bottle that says "Mopar Motor Oil 10w-30". Thanks in advance!
