    2017 RAV 4 OCI ?

    Bought my wife a 2017 RAV 4 and I am getting to the age where I am going to be completely hands off. All maintenance will be done at the dealer. That being said, first oil change is suppose to be at 10,000 miles, or one year ! My "oil disease" makes me shake and sweat, can it go one year or 10 k...

    Chevron 5w40

    Just noticed that my local WM is carrying Chevron 5w40 synthetic. Now I've been swayed away from using synthetics (dnewton ) and I have no real reason to use this one either, BUT I so love Chevron Delo and the synthetic's silver bottle is just so gosh darn sexy that I must just have to try a...

    Explain why you up to a 10w in summer.

    I see an influx of "what oil to use" threads,myself included. After reading thousands of recomendations alot say I use 0wXX or 5wXX in winter and use 10wxx in summer. I believe I understand enough about oil to see no real advantage to this practice in a normal reasonably healthy engine. For...

    names of oil??? Rotella,Delo,Helux (sp?), Delvac and countless products that may have been discontinued? I find it a bit peculiar especially asking , "hey got any Rotella?" Just my random thought for today.

    My dilemma and questions

    I have an 07 D-Max that I adore and have been using synthetics since the first oci. I DO NOT run synthetics long enough to be cost effective. Coming off the coldest winter in some time I question the use of dino oil year round. The lowest it got was -5°,usually it averages 25° or so,it doesn't...

    Why 10w30 for winter?

    OK I have only had my diesel a year and a half,been running a synthetic 5w40. Because I can't fully utilize a synthetic to make it cost effective I am gonna run dino oil. So I am not worried about the 15w40 oil for warm weather months,but I am concerned about winter oil. I see the benefit of...
