Its time to change the oil in my summer ride again. It's equipped with a Chevrolet 6.0l LS engine. Aftermarket cam, heads, valvetrain, stock bearings and bottom end. This summer the car will see several thousand miles of highway cruising, several hours of sustained high RPM on a road course, and...

I need to change oil in my car within the next 1000 miles. It is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT 6.0 L76. For those who aren't familiar, it is a Gen IV LS2 bottom end with LS3 heads. Car is driven 100 miles ish a week. But does occasionally see 500+ miles trips. Run hard (6000+rpm) when the weather...

(Sorry if anything is out of context, Thread made for multiple forums) I like to make it a habit to cut open my used oil filters. Although I haven't done it the last couple times. As follows is the ACDelco PF48 that was used for 2,000 miles on my 2009 Pontiac G8 6.0. Oil run was 9qts of Mobil 1...

As a lube tech at the local GM dealer, I have accumulated a lot of extra oil and filters. My personal car is going to be in need of an oil change soon (2004 Monte Carlo 3.4). Whatever I put in it will be ran for less than 1000 miles as I'm going to trade it in soon. I would like to create...

I'm looking to try some different oil in my car. It is a Chevrolet LA1 3.4l pushrod engine. Has 103k, and has been run on PP, PU, and M1 since 60k. I am looking at Total and Motul 8100. Which of these two would be better? Any other suggestions? I am looking to stay under $55 shipped for 5L.

Autozone is currently giving all of its employees a just of nexgen or maxlife nexgen. I picked up a bottle of the regular stuff. I have been running M1/PP/PU in my care since I've owned it (40k miles). The smell of this nexgen is rank. Makes me gag just smelling it, so it makes me weary of...

We got out new shipment of oil today. The syntec bottles now say "Castrol EDGE formulated with Syntec". The new SKU replaces syntec. http://www.castrol.com/castrol/productdetail.do?categoryId=82915470&contentId=6030793

So I am undecided on the oil and filter I want to run next. I have a 2004 Monte Carlo with the pushrod 3.4l. I was thinking of either running M1/Mobil filter, or PP/extended guard. I would like to keep it under $30.

I work for autozone and my store now stocks some lucas full-syn. What is everyone's opinion on this oil? It is $30 for 5 qts. I get no discount on oil, so should I stay with pp/m1 or try this lucas out?

Here are some pictures of a customer's car. It is a 2004 Aveo 1.6l. You would never believe it, but the timing belt stripped out on the crank pulley. The owners says he runs whatever the cheapest oil and filter he can find on sale. The car has 71,000 miles on it. The pieces you see are actually...

This filter has ~50 hours on it with 15w-40 rotella. It looks fine to me.

Here is the PF47 out of my Monte Carlo. Run with 5w-30 PP for 2700 miles. I put a pureone pf52 sized filter back on for the 5000 mile OCI. I am going to just start running the pureones for the whole 5000. I didn't know which manufacturer made my acdelco filter is the reason I pulled it off and i...
