Alright guys, I have a 09 Dodge hemi 1/2 ton truck. It calls for the Chrysler ms-6395 oil spec in 5w-20. I live in Louisiana, so its not really cold, but the summers do get real hot, but I dont think that is an issue. When the truck was new it always got pp in the 5w-20 weight. Last year I got...

Found a large display at a truck stop on my way home today. Grabbed a quart and checked out. I got to my car I looked at receipt and it showed $2.99 a quart. Is about the cheapest oil I have seen anywhere. Is this a stock up price or anyone getting it cheaper? Any thoughts on this oil?...like a...

Everyone knows the same ole Dino vs synthetic argument. Just had a thought. Why not take an old microwave oven, pour up a cup of Dino In a glass beaker, and heat for a set amount of time say 1 minute intervals and watch for the darkening and smell of burning oil. Do the same with synthetic. That...

Anyone noticed prices at A-Z for the quarts lately in the black bottle. It says edge, not syntec, and says made in Germany on the back. Price is $5.90 per quart. The rest of the quarts of any brand synthetic is +/- $10 at A-Z, and this stuff is almost half price! They had quite a lot too. I got...

Awhile back I bought a couple jugs of M1 5w-20 that was on sale for $19 at walmarts. I have used this stuff before and it has always had the MS-6395 on the back of the jug. Just noticed these do not have that spec. From reading I see M1 dropped the ms-6395 completely. What do you guys think. Use...

I finally got my first case of havoline synthetic. I have been using chevron supreme synthetic, but with it being discontinued, havoline synthetic is from what the chevron sales tech told me, exactly the same thing. Think I'm gonna send off both for a VOA, and mite do a UOA sometime in the...

Got a case of havoline DS 5w-30 cheap and that will probably be the next fill for the Honda. I need oci recomendations. I drive daily, 110 mile round trip to work + running around on weekend I can put 3k miles a month on this car. 90% of the miles is on the interstate at 75 mph, the rest is in...

Went to Wal-Mart and I was looking around. Had read a thread about QSGB earlier today and was gonna look at some and check the price. Low and behold, in the very back of the shelf, there was three 5 quart jugs of Valvoline Nextgen Maxlife in 5W-30, and they were marked back to $11 per jug...

Been looking hard at havoline DS for a while but it doesn't support chryslers MS-6395 oil spec. I have a 09 Ram Hemi that mostly a weekend truck, driven mabe 500 miles a month. what y'all think?

I have read several times that folks are beginning to only use synthetic in extream heat and extream cold. I understand what extream cold is (artic circle). What about extream heat? 90° considered extream heat? Doesnt seem bad when normal engine temp is right close to 200°, and usually shows...

What makes a synthetic last longer in the sump? Most of todays synthetic are a blend of group 3 &4 depending on the brand. Mabe they are just a straight group 3 base oil. I have always been a firm believer in using synthetic, but lately as the cost of everything has been rising, the price of...

Post your prefrence and why. Dont forget to keep score at the bottom. My preference is synthetic, and because I just like that added security. Synthetic =1 : Dino=0

anyone ever herd of military grease pm600? We get cases of the stuff at work and we use in high speed bearings 36,000 rpm and higher. No one there seems to know why we use it except that it is good for high temp applications. Its like $22 for a tube...kinda high for grease.

What are your thoughts on valvoline nextgen maxlife? Can buy a truck load real cheap these days.

Whats the bitog recomendation for top off oil? If your using say synthetic oil, and your a quart low, do you top off with the same synthetic or just a quart of "any" dino? And as far as viscosity, say you got 5w-30 in there, and your topping off the sump, do you use the same viscosity, or pour...

Oh, the choices! I have recently been quite a critic of synthetic oils because of there high price! I droped M1 back in 06 because the new PP was lots cheaper, and just as good oil. I recently swaped from PP to Chevron supreme synthetic after I found a distributer and it is retelatively...

Been reading a lot of posts about Chevron and Havoline. Seems to be several different ideas as to who makes what oil, and owns what oil, who owns what gas, etc. From what the Chevron rep for my area told me...Chevron owns Texaco and all its subs, including havoline and Chevron controls all the...

Couple of months ago I desided to switch my oil brand from Pp to Chevron synthetic. Thanks to high gas prices and the 50 mile drive to work my daily driver is a honda accord. 99 model with a F23A1 vtec. It has had PP 5w-30 in the sump for the past 5 years and it looks pretty clean inside the oil...

Hi all. At work lastweek, we were loading a field conex for a field job and while I was cleaning out a box, I uncovered an unopened case of pcmo. Brand name is Wolf. Black bottle with a green cap. I opened her up. Had 12 quarts of 10w-30. Said it was made by the wolf oil company. Any one ever...
