    New to me 2010 Mazda3 2.5l. Which oil?

    It's that time again: someone whipped a U-turn into my 2002 Protege5, totalling it. I bought a super-clean 2010 Mazda3, and I'm wondering what 0-20 oil you guys recommend now.

    Buying an 02 Mazda protege5, 66k miles. AutoRX it?

    I see AutoRX is no longer a sponsor here. What do you guys recommend I do as new owner of a used car? My immediate thought was AutoRX, but if you all have a better idea...:)

    picking up new VW Passat 2.0t: which oil?

    This is a 2.0t engine, the same as in the GTI and other VW/Audi vehicles. What would you guys recommend for this car? I didn't see much in the UOA section.

    Running Redline 5/30 in my Suby, just add ARX or change oil to dino?

    My N/A Suby has 58k on the odometer, and I'd like to run a cycle of ARX. I put Redline 5/30 in some 3-4k ago, but I'm having some consumption (half a quart or so). I probably won't leave the Redline in as long as planned. Can I run the ARX with the Redline, or is it worth the time and extra...

    Redline gurus!

    I've got a 2002 Subaru 2.5L N/A Impreza with 52,000 on it. I'm going for the Redline this change, and a 7000 OCI. I live in Souther California. I may make 1 short trip to the snow over the winter. I drive very hard, though I don't track or auto-x. I've read great feedback on the 5/40 viscocity...

    2002 Subaru 2.5 w/ 52,000k: use ARX?

    I've maintained my car well from 11000-52000 miles, using a number of good oils in that time, with the last 15,000 being on GC at 5-6000 mile OCI's. I use OEM or K&N filters. I drive fairly hard. OK, very hard! I have a bottle of ARX, and was wondering if I should use it, or if there is no...

    You see that brawl?

    Between the SS and the Chilean rent-a-cop and his undercover buddy? Bush's SS guy is following him into a venue; Bush is allowed in, but the Chilean security stop Mr. SS. They start having words, hands are layed on Mr. SS, and things are getting ugly, when Bush hears the commotion, turns and...

    Got 5 quarts of GC, need a 6th: what oil to mix?

    I can't seem to find a 6th quart of GC for the life of me. There is one more store I'm going to check. If I can't find it, what oil should I 'blend' in: American 0-30; Syntec; GTX; or something totally different, like Redline ? This is for a hard driven Subaru 2.5L with 36,000 on the...

    Hit 3000: keep the StartUp, or switch to GC?

    I just turned over 3000 in my Subaru 2.5l on the StartUp. I would not worry at all about 3000 in a Suby if it weren't for the fact that I drive like it is your car, not mine. It sees redline mutiple times per day, and I drive a canyon road hard on my way to work every day. It is a 30 mile trip...

    **** you BITOG members!!

    All this ranting and raving about green nectar got me a bit jazzed about my next oil change in my 2.5l N/A Subaru. I weighed the pro's and con's, and decided to go for the GC. I made my way down to the local Autozone. I was excited to find a bottle 'Made in Germany', then 2, 3, then 5 bottles...

    Any opinions on Valvoline Premium Blue Motor Oil?

    For use in a VW Passat V6? How does it compare to Delo or Delvac? The Bluue is on sale for $5.99 per gallon at Kragens. Nate

    Delo or Delvac in AutoRX rinse cycle?

    My wife has a 2000 Passat 2.8L V6 with 50,000k on it. It has had continuous problems: valve cover gaskets replaced twice, cats just replaced ($3800 ). Luckily all under warranty. I had some Mobil Drive Clean 10-30 in there with 2000 miles or so on it when I added the Auto RX. We just did a...

    Coffee review: Best Coffee Ever

    I am not affiliated with this company in any way, and get no profit from this. I just have a passion for coffee, and spend as much time on coffee as many do here on oil . If this post is a problem, please let me know, or delete it. I am constantly trying new coffees: I am in search of the...

    Just changed oil with Castrol StartUp; the first?

    I guess I must be one of the first here to use the StartUp product. I put 10w/30w in my 2002 Subaru Impreza TS 5m with 32800 on the clock. I used an Amsoil SDF20 filter, and changed my air filter from K&N back to stock. I posted asking what to use in my car a week ago or so. Of course I ignored...

    What oil and filter for VW Passat 2.8 V6?

    It is my wifes 2000 Passat V6. It has 50,000 miles on it. The valve cover gaskets have been replaced twice and today we just had the catalytic converter replaced; I think all the oil it burned before the valve cover gaskets were replaced must have been the cause of the catalutic failure. This is...

    Black oil used in VW/Porsche from Germany: What is it?

    I bought a VW Golf GL a couple years ago. The guy who owned it had his buddy who owned a Porsche shop do all the maintainence. They used an oil that was black out of the bottle. The bottle was white with black writing and German on it IIRC. Any idea what it was?

    Which oil for Subaru 2.5L?

    Hey, first post, brand new member here! Just want to say first off that I have been visiting the site for a while and spent countless hours here (after which I want to shoot myself...until I come back for more). You are all nuts, but I like it . Freaks! My car is a 2002 Subaru 2.5 TS 5MT with...
