Why is the M1 5W-30 ESP so expensive and hard to find? I was/is a great product, my choice for a 507 in my TDI.

While I was searching for info on 5W-30 PUP I came across an old post stating how quiet his engine was after using this oil. I just used some old PUP that I got in WM a few years ago and it had the same effect on m '02 GMC SD 6.0. I use ALL different top brands of oils, Mobil 1, GC, Valvoline...

Did they do away with the -03 and go to just LL? Called Castrol and like many other companies they have a young woman who knows very little about the products and no tech support (engineers are in the field). She had no clue if the Black jug & the Gold jug of the Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-30 LL were...

On an '14 Audi A6 TDI would it be ok to flush the engine with an oil that not 507(?) rated. I have a cabinet full of various diesel oil that I bought on sale or clearance and the oil that comes out of this car is like liquid carbon. Most are top brands but don't have the 507 spec, the car is out...

After restoring my Little Honda it started on the first pull, ran like a dream for about 10 minutes, made some blue smoke for a short time but it went away completely. So I drained the M1 that was in it, didn't look too bad but I noticed a thin black coating on the bottom when looking into the...

I know.....I'm still not sure when I can safely change the spec to a different weight. I have plenty of 0W, 5W-30's even GC from a sale a while back but I don't want to ruin this old beauty. Does it really need the 10 in hot weather?

When I search it keeps coming up as "jack sprays" for some reason. What is the stuff and is it any good? Almost no smell and says that it's Bio based, good for everything that ails you....

WM has qts. of Castrol Actevo (part Syn.) on clearance for $3., can it be used in cars or lawn equipment?

Have an older bottle of Amsoil engine oil flush, the directions are different from the newer stuff. Think it's still ok to use? Newer one says idle for 15 min., old one says HIGH idle for 15-20mi. and they want you to remove a pint of oil before using. I kind of like the higher idle and I was...

Just bought a '17 Q5 3.0 and wanted, as I usually do, to get a top or best oil. I'm using Castrol LL03 for my TDI so I decided to do a little research on what Castrol offers. I called Castrol, their female reps that answer the phone seem to also be their tech line...wonderful. According to them...

Anybody have any experience with these? The one I have been sing from West Marine (I think is a rebranded Mityvac) locks up all the time, so I in the market for a new one. https://www.ewktool.com/pneumatic-manual-oil-extractor-vacuum-fluid-pump MV7300 Pneumativac...

My Toro 524 manual says to use SAE 90 EP gear oil in the auger gear case. This is what was posted on tractorbynet forum about substituting a regular 90W gear oil: "The question in my mind is the Gl-4 or Gl-5. From what the guy at Mobil told me and what I read on google searches they are used...

My stock of now discontinued (I think) Briggs & Stratton Low Temp Full Syn Small Engine Oil that was sold at Lowes is almost gone and was thinking of ordering the Toro Full Syn from HD for my snowblowers. The question is, are these oils really different from the high quality syns that are sold...

Bought this at Sears to use up a balance on a gift card. It's 5-30, SM, ILSAC, GF-4. Who makes this stuff, anybody use it? EcoTechPerformance.com

Have an '02 Sierra and went to use a Purolator fuel filter that I purchased a while back only to find out that it was wrong. The filter looked like a quality part and had Purolator written on it. Went back to Advance and returned it for the correct part number, problem is that the new` one looks...

Might belong in Lawn & Garden...I have several small bottles of this stuff that came in a Lawn mower maintenance kit from HD years ago. The liquid is red and smells like trans fluid. When I first saw the color I thought it was Marvel Mystery Oil. It says to add it to 2qts. of oil. Anybody know...

Used about 1 or 2 ozs. of older (maybe from 2001) Amsoil Fuel Stabilizer in my sons '13 Kia Optima that had a little more than 1/2 a tank of gas and the next day it got a code P0138, do you think it could have caused it? One thing that I noticed was that it does NOT say O2 sensor safe on the...

Have been using GC or M1 15W50 in my mowers for years but I don't see the temp chart in my Toro TimeMaster's manual. It has a B&S 190cc engine and it looks like they only want the 30W, can I get away with one of my many multi weights syns in the the hot weather? Is there a synthetic 30W that is...

Had an old chainsaw that I wanted to store with non ethanol fuel in it so I bought a can of Trufuel. The first thing that i noticed was that it was much harder to start and then when I got it started it idled rougher and at a lower RPM. When I adjusted the throttle screw it was not as sensitive...

Found a couple of old bottles of Lubegard red transmission protectant, would it do any harm to add it to my Dex VI?
