    Losing faith in FP60

    Am I the only one frustrated by the lack of info on what FP60 actually does?!? I have send them a few emails asking for at least some info, but have never received a response. I have been using nothing but FP60 in my Duramax diesel (and before that in my Powerstroke) as I assumed it to be the...

    Maxtron DEO Synthetic Blend 5w40

    Amazon.com Link Realtruck.com link Has anyone ever tried this oil? It seems like a good price for a 5w40. I want to switch to a 5w40 ASAP, and i'd rather not run a full synth before my Duramax hits 10,000 miles. [ April 24, 2006, 10:59 PM: Message edited by: Go_Hogs_Go ]

    Oil for 2004 LS1

    This is my first LS1 powered car (2004 GTO), but I have been around them for quite some time. Mobil 1 never seems to be a sure thing for them and i've never really been a fan except for their Delvac 1. A lot burn it quickly. It was a big deal awhile ago, but I haven't really been keeping track...

    Auto-RX: Long Term Followup

    I dont post much, but I have used Auto-Rx in quite a few vehicles over the years and thought I would post the "long term" results for some of the vehicles. I have used in gas and diesel engines with great results (some vehicles are owned by friends and family). Here are a few: 1993 Ford...

    Separate pumps for each fuel grade or one for all grades?

    I always try to fill up with the highest octane fuel possible at the local pumps as my car requires premium. I've always wondered... how much better is it to fill up at a station that uses a separate nozzle for each grade of fuel than the ones that have a single nozzle for all grades? It seems...

    Please help: Fleetguard Oil Filter Source?

    Hello, I am 100% positive that I want to run a Fleetguard filter on my truck, but I cannot locate a good source to buy it from. I found only one site online with it, but for two filters, the shipping was $23 via UPS Ground... insane. The filter I am looking for is: LF9027 (Venturi for 7.3L...

    Very strange Napa Gold (Wix) Oil filter... questions

    I recently changed the oil on my 7.3L PSD and used a Napa Gold FIL1734 oil filter. I have a question on the construction though. Instead of the usual holes in the center tube for oil to pass through, there are many raised slits. It is hard to describe. In this picture...

    Got some free Mobil 1 5w30, but not sure if I want to use it

    My father attended a Mobil lubrication seminar where you get a free case of Mobil 1. Well, some people didn't show up and the Mobil reps didnt want to take it back with them. They only had 5w30. So now we have 10 cases of Mobil 1 5w30 SuperSyn. I will probablly just use it as is in his 1990...

    Delvac 1 or Amsoil 15w40 Diesel/Marine?

    I was almost positive that I was going to be using Delvac 1 5w-40 in my 99 5.9L 24V Cummins equipped Ram. Then, I found out that right down the road I can get the Amsoil 15w-40 Synthetic Diesel and Marine oil. The Delvac 1 is $21.99 a gallon and the Amsoil is $19.10 a gallon. I am not using a...

    Delvac 1 vs. Rotella T Full Synthetic

    I've become a huge fan of diesel oils for my cars and I am lucky enough to have just about every kind available to me at good prices. I have been using Mobil Delvac 1 in a few vehicles including my 97 Z28 and I like it very much. I have a 93 Thunderbird V8 with 94,000 miles on it that I use...

    Car was driven with no oil... what damage is done?

    Okay so my father changed the oil in my moms 2001 Grand Prix GT (3.8L v6) to Mobil 1 10w30 and an AC Delco UPF52 filter. He drove it and everything was fine. The next day, my mom comes home from the store and says her engine is making a lot of noise, her low oil light is on, and it smells like...

    10w30 even in cold winters?!

    My girlfriend just picked up a 1999 Grand Prix GTP (VERY enjoyable car to drive BTW) and the oil cap calls for 10w30. After I run Auto-Rx through it I plan on running Mobil 1 10w30 in it. Should I still use the Mobil 1 10w30 even in the cold winters here in WI or should I switch it to 5w30 in...

    Plastic engine covers on Accord

    Valvoline doesn't change filters? / What damage is done?

    My friend has a 1996 Cadillac Seville SLS with the 4.6L Northstar. The car has about 125,000 miles on it. He doesn't know very much about cars, so while he is away at college, he doesn't do his own oil changes. Today he asked me if we could change the oil on the car because it was running...

    HELP! Can someone please explain the difference between straight and multi vis oils?

    I have searched on this topic, but I have not really found any answers to my specific questions. I am in a debate with my friend who thinks multi vis oils are bad and just dirty up engines. He thinks a straight 30wt will: Protect far better than a 10w30 Will not cause the engine to get dirty...

    Liquid at bottom of new Pennzoil Oil Filters?!

    We just got our weekly shipment of stuff at work and I noticed that the majority of Pennzoil Oil Filters have some kind of liquid at the bottom of the inside. It is almost like the bottom is coated in oil already. I found a little one and stuck my finger in there and it was the same color as...

    What filter type for hard driving? (Long post)

    I have a 1993 Thunderbird 5.0L V8 and a 1997 Camaro Z28 (high 11s). I drive both cars VERY hard. The Thunderbird gets driven about 40-50 miles every day on the freeway, but I dont drive easy. I make the motor work hard. It is not uncommon for me to be at wide open throttle. The Z28 gets driven...
