    Why isn't Fram,supertech, etc. required to have a silicone ADBV like the FL820s, all the aftermarket filters have to meet manufacturer standards so why no silicone ADBV?

    Semi-synthetic or synthetic?

    It seems the trend is oils are going to at least semi-synthetic now, I've seen trop arctic semi-synthetic at dollar tree for $1 and now I've seen Super 76 semi-synthetic at Winco grocery for $1.24, do you think eventually even the low end oils will advertise themselves as some sort of synthetic?

    Chevron Supreme OCI

    Have any Chevron Supreme users taken their oil change intervals past 5,000 miles? I'm thinking of doing 6 month intervals with Chevron 10W-30, I only average 8,000-10,000 miles a year.

    supertech price increase

    I noticed supertech was .99 a quart at walmart today, they also brought back chevron supreme at 1.15 a quart, it's wierd because they randomly bring back chevron every once in a while then quit. I did notice there were no motorcraft 820 oil filters in stock, there was still a space for them...

    Citgo brand oil

    I've noticed some talk here in regards to the Citgo brand oil, I've seen this oil "Citgo Superguard" at the various dollar stores in my area. Do you think this is old stock oil that these stores get, or do you think they get enough of it to keep it fresh? I've wanted to try it on my older cars...

    I've noticed at the wallmart nearest me that only a few of the oils here are SM rated, Castrol GTX and some Valvoline. When do all the other oils have to be SM rated? I'm waiting to see when supertech and some of the lower cost oils switch their supplies over. I've noticed that the castrol...
