    I was always skeptical until now

    China used to process much of our recyclables. All those ship containers bringing manufactured goods didn't go back empty. Their standard of living increased enough that it wasn't worth paying people to do manual sorts so China stopped taking the stuff. Now most of it is going into landfills in...

    STOP changing your oil so often!

    As mentioned already, it's a conversion from kilometers to miles. ___________________________________________________ How do you like your Mazda CX5 and how do you see the whole Extended Drain argument (for that 2.5L engine)?

    Best Gas Mileage OIl

    If every factor except oil was held constant, then 0W-8 oil would give better gas mileage. That's the whole drive of thinner oils - ie, less shear friction. As far as oil formulation in the sane viscosities from the major oil blenders, I highly doubt you could measure much if any difference if...

    Best Gas Mileage OIl

    I have my own ideas about motor oil and MPG which are based on time-honored math calculations and backed-up with an aftermarket digital monitor (to check the math). But I wanted to hear what others have found to be true in real-world testing. I am asking what Oil gives you the best gas mileage...

    STOP changing your oil so often!

    Additionally, the extra cost of Amsoil over the oil I can buy at WalMart, Amazon, Autozone, etc.. does not provide any cost savings, and in fact may cost MORE for the same interval, which is 7,500 miles. I can buy a 5-quart jug of Castrol Magnatec, for each OCI, and a Fram Ultra filter every...

    2000 windstar 3.8L v6 mix M1/ M1HM 10w30 13k miles

    Pure [censored] (MHO). You have no way of knowing if the Lab testing method changed over time (a secret that a lab probably keeps closely guarded), repeated seasonal diviations (i.e. 2 summers -Vs- 1 fall, winter, spring, or driving habits (hwy/city). Those are major deviations that you simply...

    STOP changing your oil so often!

    Gee, didn't mean to ruffle so many feathers. And this wasn't meant to be an advertisement, so my apologizes. Instead of simply shouting me down, why not offer your own solution? I would be curious as to how many folks are running their oil 1 year ( or 15,000-20K miles) without a worry. PLEASE...
