    Elf Evolution SXR 0w-30

    Anyone on here have any dealings with this oil. I was looking for a locally sourced 0w30 for my old truck. Called the local Delo dealer asking about pricing for their 0w30 syn. He told me they don't stock it but carried Elf for a local guy for his motorcycle. It's under $10 a liter wich puts...

    Transmission temps. Should I be concerned?

    Trans is GM TH400 in a ton truck. I just added an external filter and temp guage at my last oil change and flipped the $&*@ out. Normal temp is around 220 and pushed 235 with a small load on the back the other day. Installed a large cooler yesterday with only marginal results. 190 degrees on my...

    PP and Ultra

    Am I missing something here or are these not all PAO? If I'm reading these right, there is enough dino to carry the add pack, 1 - 5 percent, and the rest is pao for the PP. http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GSAP_msds_00018746.PDF http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GSAP_msds_00018715.PDF...

    Is moly a good substitute for zddp?

    Would a high moly oil work well in an older engine in lou of a HDDO? Oils like maxlife, chevron/havoline that typically have 250 ppm plus of molly? I'm talking about OHV engines with heavy lifters and pushrods, not OHC engines with lite valve trains. I know moly is supposed to have a plating...

    With money not being an option...

    seeing as even a full syn oil change is equal to or less than a full tank of gas for most people. Is a syn blend really any better than a modern dino assuming a 5000 mile change? I guess what I really meant to ask was, are there any real benefits? Better cold starts, cleaner engine, better heat...

    30w vs. 15w50 @ 25F

    So, I was adding a quart of oil to my wife's truck last night when I decided to do a rudimentary experiment. I had a quart of 15w50 Mobil 1 and a quart of 30w Havoline sitting there. The temps here have been about as cold as they get in winter. It's been in the teens at night and hasn't risen...

    YB vs. Maxlife

    I know both are top notch. Just wondering if there would be an advantage to the blend in my climat? Our temp range is from low teens to upper ninties. I've noticed Ashland has muddied the water a little on their MSDS. Looks like no more PAO??

    Smoking power stroke?

    I have a 99 f450 with the 7.3L power stroke. Problem is that it smokes really, really bad when cold. It's fuel though, not water or oil. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so is there a fix? Or is it just something I have to live with? Truck only has 90,000 miles on it.

    5w20 with a flat tappet?

    Any one out there have any experience with such a combo? I have a 350 sbc that I'm considering running some in this winter. I did try some a few years ago when it first came out but was worried and didn't leave it in very long. Also have 351W with a roller cam that is back spec'd to a 5w20. The...

    OIL FILTER LIFE

    Why do auto manufactures recomend changing oil filters every other oil change? My Pathfinder recomends the oil every 7500 miles and filter every 15000 miles under normal conditions.

    mobil 1 extended drains

    What would the best grade be for running 15k + miles in a mild georgia climate? Or better yet, what grade do you guys out there that cross the 15k barrier use? Would the 30 weights be better because of thickening, or the 5-40 because of hddo rating? Just looking to extend my drains. I do 50...

    Certified Laboratories oils?
