Get and follow the factory service manual ($60-$80) instead of the Haynes manual. You will be better off in the long run. According to the manual for my '99 Civic, remove drain plug from the radiator, remove drain plug from the engine block (mine is next to the oil filter), and allow coolant to...

Why was the GC imported in the first place? I mean, the rest of the Syntec line was selling well enough and Castrol did not advertise about the GC at all, right?

Isn't mobil 7500 a Grp III oil plus a bit of Grp IV or V and even the Mobil 5000 is mostly Grp III? Which by most other companies' definition are full synthetic.

Ah, I see... But the original question was for cheaper option than M1. Waiting for the 0W-40 is also good.

Unless you don't have a PepBoys nearby, why not use the B3G3 coupon to get M1 down to $2-$2.50 per quart?

When was the Castrol Start Up free after rebate?

XS650, Can you recommand a similarly priced filter that does not do that? Is SuperTech the same way?

Urr... is this a rebate, sale or promotion? Otherwise, could we just list everything that anyone might need?

What about find a used pan from a salvage yard?

Thanks. That's what AP stood for. Do you happen to know the percent of synthetic in the North American MC?

I think this is the MSDS for the regular Motorcraft 5w-30. Up to 42% of unspecified synthetic.

kyle, the hydrocrack/synthetic blend 5W-30 also looks good. http://seweb1.phillips66.com/hes/MSDS.nsf/MSDSID/US776108/$file/776108.pdf Guys, am I reading the msds correctly? 40-42% synthetic base oil?

The Motocraft synth blend seems to have about 40%, if I read the MSDS correctly.

Jeff, Are you going to do a UOA after another 7,500? I'm guessing most of those miles are freeway miles. Why not do the first (only) at 7,500 or so?

Oil pump would be pushing the oil. Isn't it easier to push a fluid than pull it?

Could someone knowledgeable with CAS # please translate. Is the base oil Group I, II or II+? Also, isn't the percentage of synthetic really high for a blend?

My local WM has the 5W-20 with "synthetic/hydrocracked base oils" for $1.89 and 5W-30 with same wording for $1.49. I was looking for the 10W-30 with the same wording, but found only "made from hydrocracked base oils" phrase.

Where does one usually find Conoco oil? I don't think I ever seen them.

That's the only reason I'm giving it a try. Though SynPower cleaner is suppose to be free too, but I can't seem to find it anywhere near the $5 rebate price. Between the Redline SI-1 and Chevron Techron, which do you prefer?

Has anyone tried MaxLife Fuel System Cleaner? As good as Chevron Techron?
