    What do you think of Silkolene?

    I see ads for it in magazines, but I never see anyone here really talking too much about it. Is it good or is it bad?

    How fast does the oil dirty in your small engine.

    Relating to my little Tecumseh powered snow blower in another thread. I put Mobil 1 SL rated oil in it. Prior to this I ran it only once last year when I first got it. I think the previous owner rarely changed the oil cause I ran the snowblower for a couple hours and it was BLACK as heck. So I...

    Ford Triton V8 and thicker oil than 5w20

    My father has a triton powered 2000 Ford fullsize van that he likes to tow with. Being an older man, he really hates how thin 5w20 is, especially in the summer. Now I know that the engine was designed for it, but he wants to know if you guys out there have ever run a 5w30 oil in them and how...

    Husqvarna Snowblowers

    What do you think of these Swede machines? Seems that they have some decently priced snowblowers and mowers. My old Snowbird does the job, but it is not exactly the most powerful or easiest to operate.

    Oil for Tecumseh powered snowblower

    I have a very very old 4 stroke Tecumseh powered Snowbird brand blower. Its a two stage model. My question is what oils are good for this in an Iowa winter. It does not have electric start, which sucks for me, but it was free. So I was thinking a nice 10w-30 synthetic would be best.

    Running conventional for a run or two

    Well if you guys are broke and needed to run conventional for an oil change or two what would you recommend? I was running Quaker State Q or Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 in my 2.4 Yota. I was thinking Mobil Clean 5000 or Pennzoil. What do you think?

    You guys ever mix oils to thin or thicken oil?

    I have a buddy with an utter beater of a 93 Buick Century with a 3.3 V6 (essentially a smaller displacement 3.8 3800 Series I). Anyways its a bit of an oil burner so he runs 15-40 in it. Well he is dirt poor and bought a bunch of that oil. I was wondering if for winter if he were to dump a...

    How good is this Mystik HD oil compared to Rotella? I am having a hard time getting anything but 15w-40 Rotella around here, but the local Theisens has Mystik HD semi synthetic for 19 bucks for 2 gallons.

    Oil/Filter Question for Classic Chevy

    So after about 5 years in storage I managed to dig my old 70 Nova SS 396 out and begin the drive train rebuild. I am rebuilding it back to the 375hp specs it had before, but with a vintage Edelbrock cross ram manifold and two Carter AFB carbs. My question is with the newer oils being low on...
