    Used Oil Capacity In Mobil 1 5 Quart Jug

    Just wondering for transporting used oil. Has anyone ever measured how much oil the 5 qt. jugs hold when filled up to the start of the cap? The markings for 5 Quarts start right at the top of the handle. I have some used oil I need to transport and wondering if I can pull it off with a couple of...

    Low NOACK 5w20

    Hey guys, I have a new 2015 Sonata SE with the 2.4L GDI and I'm coming up on the first oil change. I already installed a catch can in the PCV line that has been collecting a good amount of oil, but I still want to take all precautions with the GDI. I'll probably stick with QS Ultimate Durability...

    40w Penzoil Platinum Euro and Valvoline MST 40w.

    I found it in my local Autozone even though it was not listed online, $9 per quart. Advanced Auto also carries it and does list it on the site.

    M1 0w40 or M1 HM 10w40? '86 T-Bird V8

    Originally Posted By: CATERHAM The other reason why running a 40 grade, even M1 0W-40 would undoubtedly prove too heavy is Ford's relatively low oil pump relief setting (IIRC 65 psi), consequently you'll likely never get the oil temp's hot enough to be out of by-pass mode at elevated rev's with...

    M1 0w40 or M1 HM 10w40? '86 T-Bird V8

    Originally Posted By: CATERHAM I'm with 901Memphis on this. Stick with the 5W-30 grade, M1 0W-40 is a much heavier oil which you likely don't need if the engine is in good shape.

    M1 0w40 or M1 HM 10w40? '86 T-Bird V8

    Hey guys, just looking for some opinions here for my '86 Thunderbird with a standard output 302. I bought it a few months ago with about 40,500 original miles on it. All tune-up items and filters have been changed and it runs great. It has no leaks that I can see, other than built up crud where...

    I want to like K&N ...

    Does the opinion of K&N change if you use one of their precharger wraps on the filter? Will that help improve the filtering efficiency?

    VW Factory Fill

    Cool, interesting. I always hear about German Castrol but where does everyone buy it? I've never seen it in my region in person and I'm certainly not paying $10 shipping for 1 quart. Lol

    VW Factory Fill

    Hey guys, I just picked up a 2013 Jetta S as a lease. Maintenance is all covered, but does anyone know what the factory fill is for VW? I know it's a synthetic and the oil cap mentions how VW recommends Castrol. The reason I ask is that I want to have an extra quart on hand to top off if the car...

    NextGen Maxlife Noisy

    I actually made a thread not long ago about how NextGen Maxlife quieted down the valvetrain in a 2000 Civic. I would definitely give it some time but I'd be surprised if it still ends up being noisier than before.

    GTX Syn-Blend 5w/30. 6,500 GMC Canyon 3.7L

    Interesting. Does this oil have titanium in it along with moly and the rest, or could it have still been from a previous fill at that level?

    1975 Eldorado Oil Opinions

    Just looking for some opinions here. My cousin just bought a 1975 Eldorado Convertible in mint condition. 44k miles and he says it runs like new. I was thinking of recommending QS Defy in 10w30 or 10w40, maybe Rotella T3 15w40? What do you think would be the best choice for this engine (I...
