Gonna drain and fill the 6F35 in the fusion again soon and was wondering if anyone is running Dex VI instead of Merc LV? I Valvoline ATF says it covers both but can I just use Dexron VI? It's about half the price of Merc LV and more readily available

Starting to look for some new 275/70R18 tires for the truck. Currently running Duratracs and like the look of them with the big rim protector, makes them look a little bigger than they actually are. Only problem is I dont need that aggressive of a tire anymore plus they are heavy. Looking for a...

A lady in the Local buy and sell has this unopened 5gal bucket for sale for $65, worth it? Other than cool factor, what would the oil be usefully in?

So I had the oil pan gasket changed 3k(km) ago at the dealer and they filled with their bulk oil(Mobil 1000) but I dont like how loud and rattely it is on start up vs the PP they drained so I'm gonna dump it. I have a jug of PP 5W30 and a jug of Napa syn 5W30 so I'll probably just use the other...

Short clip from this morning of a -25 cold start. The Ecoboost gives off a puff of black smoke upon start up when ever its cold out. Oil is dealer bulk Mobil Super 1000 5W30 that was changed last week when the oil pan gasket was changed, 12,000km on truck.

Picked up a new Husqvarna mower today with the Briggs&Stratton EXi engine and the manual says no oil changes required, just add more when its low. I dont think I have ever had to add to my old mowers, also B&S, so do these things burn oil? Or is it just marketing to lazy people.

At Christmas Canadian tire had PP on sale for $22/5L jug plus a $10 mail in rebate. Grabbed 2 jugs of 5w30 for $46 taxes in. Went online, sent my reciept and waited patiently for my money to never actully arrive, since I messed up the thing online amd said I had high milage, but the receipt was...

So in the last 9 days we have experienced a 54 degree Celsius temp swing. From -50 to +4. What kind of affect does that have on oil sitting in a sump? Got to be some condensation I would think Didnt even attemp to start the car as I never had the block heater plugged in. The hemi work truck with...

Done my first oil change on the truck last week at 6000km. Canadian tire had PP on sale for $22/jug with a $10 mail in rebate, so how could I not right. NAPA was closed so went with a Fram Ultra instead of my usual gold filter. You can definetly notice the easier cranking with the PP vs...

So we are buying a new house and I will be losing my garage, so I figure I should change my oil now instead of in a snow filled driveway. Right now PP, Castrol black bottle, Valvoline syn and Shell gas truck are all onsale for the same price roughly, $26-$30/5L jug. I'll also change it on the...

Just noticed Motomaster has changed the look of thier jugs. Not hard to tell who makes it now, as it says Shell right on the back. It also has specs it meets now, is Ford 945-B1, so guessing its a blend. On sale right now for $14.99/5L jug. They also have a new line called OE Plus in a gold...

Local Midas place is offering $39 conventional and $79 synthetic oil changes on facebook. I asked what you kind of oil and filters that includes. They messaged me and said Motosel oil and a Fram filter. Im assuming its the old orange can but never heard of the oil before. Also includes a 20...

Picked up 6 of these on clearance for 75 cents each. Other than outboard legs, what else can this be used in?

Had the privilege of wondering the back end of the local Ford dealer today while doing some work there. So of course took the chance to check out the bulk oil. Turns out its Mobil 1000 in 5w20 and 5w30 and 10w30 delvac for the diesel folks. I would assume all the ecoboosts are getting the 5w30...

Read a lot on here about ecoboosts needing synthetics because of the turbos. But jump over to the hdeo section, and guys getting a million miles running conventional rotella or delo. When I had my deisel I ran what ever was on sale, mostly 10w30 rotella, and never had an issue. Why does it seem...

Picked up a new 2018 3.5 over the weekend. Wife works there and is going on mat leave at end of the month so no more discount for me. Now to decide on what oil to use. Probably wont be changing it for a bit, the 2015 5.0 only had 20,000km on when I traded it. Probably gonna use Valvoline...

Anyone ever use this stuff? Grabbed a couple tubes yesterday as it was on sale for $1.50. Not much info on the stuff. Wondering if its ok for my little tralers bearings? One is used to bring garbage to the dump, the other one holds my little 12 foot aluminum boat. The only other thing I own with...

Picked up a used Coleman 5hp outboard today for a coulpe hundred dollars. Oil spec is 10w30 or 10w40 api SE to SJ. I picked up a liter of super tech 10w40 which is SN, as finding SJ or earlier is pretty much impossible. Im assuming its totally fine to use and im maybe just over thinking it...

Anyone else in the cold parts of the world having issues with doors not latching in the cold? Had mine in for the recall, which is basically spray lube inside to repel the water. My truck and 2 company trucks been having the issue. $60,000 for a truck that i have to use a ratchet strap to keep...

I keep seeing posts about SN+ oil. Everytime I cruise the oil section at walmart or canadian tire I look at the back of some of the higher end stuff like mobil or Pennzoil and theres no SN+ on there. Is this an American thing or maybe they are just carrying old stock?
