Not looking for the best boutique oil at all. 5w50 is the rated oil for polaris. I asked about castrol edge in my original post on the powersports forum aswell. I did not bring up the amalie oil here because I am not asking about the "boutique atv oils" here just if anybody has done testing on...

Not a lot of replies in power sports forum and this more applies to passenger oil anyway. I am thinking of changing my polaris ranger over to a non UTV/ATV specific full synthetic oil either Castrol Edge 5w50 or Amsoil signature 5w50. The big issue with polaris is fuel dilution and oil shearing...

2021 xp1000 I have been using Amsoil polaris 5w50 oils but use the last quart in the case now I need to make decisions. 1. Do I stay with Amsoil or change to Amalie UTV which is $50 a case cheaper and higher rated. 2. Do I stick with a utv/atv oil which is made for wet transmissions which the...

Are using 5w30 or 5w50? The polaris 5w50 or signature 5w50

Wow I grease my trucks frontends like every 20,000 miles ish all have over 200k miles all original parts valvoline durablend grease. 2 are plow trucks so hard on balljoints.

2006 Pontaic montana SV6 315,000+ and still going all original parts except tune up throttle body replaced around 200k water pump at 312k still has factory fill on trans fluid and never had a drop of anything but the cheapest oil available at the time mostly supertech, chevron, or last 100k...

I was given 5 cases or Valvoline premium blue geo m-85 NG engine oil 15w40. It came from a cummins tech and is used in gensets it is cf-4 rated does anybody know how this corresponds to the older Cj4 diesel oil I was told it is pretty much a low ash diesel oil used in CNG and LPG engines for...

going to put a shift kit in my allison 1000 so need some fluid. Amazon has Havoline Dexron VI for $45 a case of 12 acdelco is $22 a gallon. I like Delo oils by chevron not sure how good Havoline is as a product line. So is it all equal??

I buy filters in bulk usually wix from fleetfilter but their prices are getting high when you add in s&h. So I looked at rock auto they have acdelco duraguards but I noticed the numbers have a F like ph61F or ph63F anybody know what the F is for? Any place besides fleet filter with good...

Do you want to save a few $$$ Buy a set of Mastercraft courser AXT's they are pretty much the AT3. I only buy Cooper tires. I have an 02 silverado 2500hd run a 265 75 r16 E range tire the coopers were $840 I got the axt's for $715 and $75 rebate. Mastercraft are made by Cooper!! A real nice ride...

I know of 4 people that had or have trailblazers that have sludge in the engine, 2 were to the point the engines had to be replaced. All were earlier year 02-04. The mechanic that does all my heavy or nasty work is a 20yr Chevrolet dealer mechanic. I talked to him before buying my trailblazer...

that tsb does not say anything and there is not a replaceable pcv on the engine. All I was is if there is a better oil to buy for the extra 2 quarts over the standard oil I am already using.

its not just the 06's its all the 4.2l inline six engines.

the 4.2 inline 6 does NOT have a replaceable pcv valve hence the sludge problems!!!

I just picked up a 2006 trailblazer 91k miles. It takes 7quarts now I have a bunch of peak syn 5w30 and next gen 5w30 and some Qs 5w30. I know these 4.2l engines have a tendency to sludge so I am wondering if I should use a special oil for the extra 2 quarts when using 5quart jugs?? I see alot...

In my Gf's 2012 Buick lacrosse I run M1 5w30 around 7k miles which is around 10-15% left on the OLM. I also run a standard non e core delco filter. Figure the OLM works off a syn blend oil as thats what the dealer's dexos is per 3 different dealers so the full syn has got to be better.

I was picking up 2 more jugs today and noticed only the 5w30 is dexos approved. I wonder if they make that to a higher standard to meet the dexos requirments then the other grades????

how is it thinner then other oils isn't a 5w30 a 5w30??
