I have a 2000 Ford Mustang V6 with 109,000 miles on it. I was thinking it was about time to replace the water pump, thermostat and coolant since all these things are original when the car was built. I just wanted some input if it is a good idea to change these parts out, or if I am just wasting...

Hello forum posters!! I posted an oil recommendation a while back about racing an Acura Integra. Well, we moved up to a street stock class and I need a recommendation so that I know I am going in the right direction. The car is a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro with a stock 350 V8 engine and stock heads...

Hello everyone! This is an oil analysis for my 2000 Ford Mustang V6 automatic. I have owned this car since 87,500 miles and I wanted to see where I was at in terms of wear, so I didn't push the limits on the interval too much. On this interval, the car has seen about 35% city driving and 65%...

What is the iso-syn process of Chevron's motor oils? I purchased an oil deal at Autozone that included a 5 qt. jug of Chevron Supreme without the iso-syn label. What is the difference between a iso-syn labeled bottle of Chevron oil to a non-labeled bottle? Thank you very much for your time.

Just out of curiousity, where do you work? What is your occupation? Did you go to school and get a degree? This is just for general interest!

Lately I have noticed that the NOACK % for some synthetic oils is close to that of conventional oils. I don't have a ton of PDS sheets or information to provide for you, but I have seen this from the PDS sheets provided throughout this site and from the company websites. Is it even something to...

It will be used in a 1990 stock 4 cylinder engine and turning high RPM during it's use (5,000-6,500). Is Mobil 1 HM 10w-40 a suitable option for the car? The typical or recommended oil for the car is 5w-30. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I had a question regarding what is an acceptable range of oil burn off for my car. I have a 2000 Ford Mustang with 94,000 miles. The previous is rather unknown, although the engine runs very smooth and have yet to find anything suspicious or suspect to abuse. I currently have a...

Hello again everyone! Ever since I purchased my car, I have noticed that there is a ticking at start up. It usually lasts longer the colder it gets (max time = 5-8 seconds). It never gets colder than 30 degrees farenheit here. The car seems to run fine and there is no ticking or abnormal engine...

I just recently picked up a jug of Valvoline MaxLife synthetic for my v6 Mustang. I was suprised my Wal-Mart is now carrying it. My question is though, should I use a high mileage synthetic oil? My car has 91,000 miles on it and does not leak. It doesn't consume much oil either. I just think...

Alright ladies and gentlemen, what is your favorite conventional (dino) oil and why is it (add pack, reliable, low wear, cost)? This can include synthetic blends as well, and consider that price is no option, unless that is your only reason for buying it! Let the bloodshed begin, haha! But...

Is this oil very good? The price of a 5 quart jug is only $1 more than Supertech Synthetic (Quaker State=$18). What is your opinion of this oil? What information do you have about this oil? Thanks y'all!!

What is your honest opinion of Napa Synthetic Motor Oil? I saw their current deal and maybe wanted to try it out. How long could you safely run this oil in your car, based on half severe and half normal driving conditions? Thanks! Also, if you know, what is the base stock/base oils for this oil?

Do the STP Additives (Gas Treatment, Fuel Injector Treatment, etc.) actually work? Are they beneficial to a vehicle, or are you buying a bottle of marketing?!

Does synthetic oil such as Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, Motorcraft synthetic, Castrol Syntec, and others in this category really stay at the top of the engine for day(s) after it's last start-up? I make plenty of short trips and am considering using a synthetic based on this. I use Motorcraft...

What motor oils have you seen give a good UOA for a Ford Mustang, preferably the V6 manufactured from 1999-2004. Recommendations for V8's and Mustang engines from other years is fine too. I just don't see many UOAs for a Ford Mustang that fits this criteria. Thanks as always for your time and...

Hello again everyone! I have a 1990 Acura Integra and I race in a four cylinder, absolutely stock racing series that races at my local dirt track. These cars are pushed their maximum potential. We usually run the car near or above 6,500 RPM through the whole 5 mile race. I have used 10W-40 of...

I own a 2000 Ford Mustang V6, and although I did an oil change for my car just recently, my Dad bought Chevron Supreme 5w-30 for my next oil change. What you think of this oil? I am currently using Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, but wouldn't mind switching later on. So, is Chevron Supreme Motor Oil...

Hi! My name is Sean and I just bought a 2000 Ford Mustang with my savings and I am freaking out about everything, including my engine oil choice, lol! I am 19 years old and I love this car to death! I just did an oil change and put 5w-20 Motorcraft Synthetic Blend motor oil with a Motorcraft...
