I used to use Wally world for oil changes and quit, but I usually had good service and I liked the oil choices. Does anyone know if you can choose another filter they have on the shelf, as opposed to using the Frams? I also have a quick lube close by that carries Mobil syn products and will...

Ordered a couple of bottles and was going to try. My Scion does not have many miles on it yet, and the Sonata has seen a shot of Techron every 10k miles. Prob gonna hit both of them with a full dose then go to maint doses after that. Been talking to Dave via email, and just asked him to...

Please point me in the right direction, thanks.

First numbers are Blackstone, Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 and second numbers are Dyson, Mobil 0w-20 (both were Fram filters). Both OCI's were right under 5.5k miles. Year--2007--Current Miles on car--27,800--67,200 Alum--2--1 Chrom--1--1 Iron--5--9 Copp--2--2 Lead--0--1 Boron--28--49 Silicon--6--8...

Kinda hard picking here, because of the specs in certain areas. Keep in mind that I am moving to South Alabama, so winters are not a big deal. I thinking, that because its easier to find, 5w-20 is a better choice over all, but I dunno. 0w-20 5w-20 100c 8.2 9.1 40c 43 55 VI 166 145 Flash 216C...

Car calls for PSF-4, and I ordered 32 ounces of Amsoil Syn and a pump. Being the location of the reservoir is a PITA to let all pump out and do a complete change, I was gonna do the weekly pump out and fill over 2-3 weeks (why I bought 16 ounces). Anyone see a problem with mixing the Amsoil Syn...

I've pretty much decided to switch over to Amsoil from Mobil for a variety of reasons, and was wondering if anyone had any data on their XL oils (A search did not yield anything). I've got two cars under a powertrain warranty, so API and 5k mile intervals are necessary for piece of mind. Being...

I used the google search for BITOG, but had no luck. My local AZ and Wally world do not carry it, dont have anything else close. Online?

Can someone break it down simply for me? *) Why, if catalytic convertor concerns are the issue with ZDDP, do they attach this to the engine warranty and not emissions? *) Why can I not buy a great oil like Redline 5w-20 and put it in my cars without worrying if the dealer will void my engine...

Not looking at price, do the specs not make 5w-30EP a better overall oil? 5w30 - OW30 61 - 63 cold vis (lower for better cold cranking) 11 - 11 warm vis 3.1 - 2.99 HTHS (better handling of heat) 230 - 228 flashpoint 10.5 - 8.5 TBN (i guess this only matters for longer OCI?) I know the are...

I searched, but nothing came up. Is there a list as to what oils fall in each Group? TIA

I am preparing to get back into the changing of my own oil. Both my rides are still under the powertrain warranty, so i want to be as careful as possible in case something should happen. I'm gonna be running Amsoil 0w-20 in both, and will document mileage and receipts in folders, but am unsure...

I used to have a Fram Sure Drain on my Taco, but it looks like this Fumoto has more good press and is built well. Anyone using it? http://www.fumotousa.com/

Was gonna start changing the oil on both my rides and was looking at the 12k pound ones on Amazon for $55. Might still use jackstands too.

To start, I dont want this to be a brand vs brand deal, just curious on using this rating to evaluate oils and weights. Im going to use Mobil because their site is easy and Im looking at it. Say, if you are looking in the 0w-20 to 5w-30 range, can you determine the following facts from the...

Just got a 09 Scion which does not call for ATF changes. Supposedly WS is good for the life and only needs to be inspected every 30K. I tried searching but did not see it discussed, just looking for input on anyone with some mileage on the stuff, or any yota guys. Thanks

Blackstone Comments: We like what this type oil is doing for your engine so you just may want to stick with it for future oil changes. The TBN was 4.0, still going strong after the 5,500 mile oil use run. Universal averages show typical wear metals for oil from this type engine after about...

My friend has a honda passport 3.4l dohc v6 with about 175000 miles on it. For the last couple of years when the oil gets some mileage on it and is ready for a change there is a very bad and loud tapping sound that develops. Once he changes his oil this quits completely. He generally runs Mobil...

The lead was 2 point higher than the last test which was a 7 at 52k miles. This truck sees 80% city driving with two short 7 mile trips everyday. It also had a bad pinging problem which I cured right before the oil change. Running it's first treatment of Auto RX since I bought it new. Napa gold...

Just wondering because I've been using Blackstone but wanted to buy a pump, wanted to know if the Blackstone bottles would fit this pump.
