Hello all. I'm sorry if this has been asked or done before. I'm back to the site after several years. Being located in Australia and having most of the big brands doing different blends to the USA offerings I thought it would be great to have a section where people could submit any VOA for oils...

Hi guy's just wondering if there is any type or weight of oil that has been proven to be really good with the Ford 5.4 modular engine.

Now I know this is bound to start some arguments, and this is not what I'm trying to do here at all. What I am trying to sort out is the key difference in a set of examples. Now whether you chose to believe it or not, here in OZ the Chevy engines used in late model Holden's had issues with oil...

just had to have the diff in my late model ford reco'ed and it's just hit the 50,000kms! They guy was telling me that the company that bought out the diff maker had changed a few years ago and now they are seeing noisy diff's anytime after 20,000 kms. Anyway the interesting think they told me...

I have an Australian Ford with a 5 Speed Man box which the current model has done away with and now offer a six speed. The problem is the hand book say's I must use Mobil 1 ATF fluid. Problem is it only comes in 20L drums! I had the box re-filled with Castrols Synthetic DX3 product called...

We have just got Pure One Filters now in several auto stores here in Australia. They read well on the box and from what I have been able to find they seem really good. Question is Ryco is the Number 1 filter here in Oz so would I be better off using the Pure one?

Hi guy's just looking at changin my Diff oil again and once again using the Castrol SAF-XA with the Sturaco already added. The question I wanted to ask was can I use the GM diff additive as well. I have used this in many other diff's just as an extra add in and have only ever heard really good...

Will a thicker oil help with by blow? I have had a few guy's tell me that it wont help at all so I'm just wondering what you guy's think. Lets say the engine is not blowing smoke, not using that much oil, but very fumy through the top covers.

Hi all, Just wondering what the general thoughs were on the Lucas oil range. I thought they used to make a 20w 50 but I can not seem to find it.

Ok what if there were NO EPA laws, you lived in a HOT town, say the temp on avg was 95 Deg F and the coldest of cold you ever saw was 50 Deg F. You drove a big old hotted up 1970's era V8 350 Small Block Chev or 351 Ford Windsor. What oil would you be running!

Example: Good condition Small Block Chevy. It's an mid 80's era, so flat tappet cam and one piece rear seal. It has NO oil leaks! Not a one. It's been running on high quality mineral oil that's changed every 3 months or every 3000kms. It's got about 150,000kms. THe last owner reckons he ran it...
