Vehicle is a VW Jetta 1.9l TDI. Currently has 124k miles on it. Sump capacity is 4.5qts Oil used is Mobil 1 TDT 5w-40 Miles driven 17k per year. 30/70 city/highway Recommended OCI is 10k. We just got the vehicle. I'm confident in TDT as a robust oil. I'd like to run it for at least 10k...

Wow, oil is getting expensive now! I have a 2001 Galant with a 2.0. The manual calls for 10w-30. This same engine is also used in the Lancer. In that car it calls for 5w-20. Would it be incorrect for me to believe that I could use 5w-20?

I handle oil changes on a Pontiac G5. It calls for a 5 or 10w-30. I have previously run PP in it. The OCI is whenever the OLM says to change it. That usually occurs around 7500 miles. I have been here awhile and understand that more important then the oil is the OCI based on driving conditions...

I need your help guys. I have a car that is under warranty still. My question is: Can car manufacturers require that you use a specific brand or fluid for your car? The vehicle in question is a 2009 VW Jetta. Throughout the manual they specify the usage of VW Oil, Transmission fluid(actually...

What grease you you guys recommend that I use on the Swingarm bolt in my racing Quad('08 Suzuki LTR450)? Also, should I use this same grease to lube the A-arm bearings and whatnot, or would you recommend something else for that? Thanks for the help -Brien

Ive got a flight in about an hour. I have my smartpone with me. I need a single page(can be a thread here as Ive set my profile to 99 posts per page) that I can read on the plane. Something about either oil technologies or cars would be great. I dont read very fast. I small/medium print book...

Ive always wondered, would it hurt and/or help if you added a little 2 stroke oil to the gas tank. Obviously you'd mix it to a certain premix, not just pour it in randomly. What exactly would this do? Would it help lubricate the cylinder walls/rings or would it "attack" the film left on the...

First of all, I did a brief search and couldnt find a thread like this. If there is one please me to it. Alright, what im wondering is what are the advantages/disadvantages of running a higher or lower viscosity oil then what is called for in the manual? For ease of discussion lets say a...

My buddy just got an 05 colorado with the I5 engine and its time for an oil change. Im not sure what weight its supposed to take as I havent actually looked at it yet. I think, from the other engines, that it is supposed to get 5w-30. Can anyone verify this, and what filter does it take? Is...

I keep seeing this statement thrown out alot in reference to the oils ability to hold up. But what exactly makes one oil more "stout" then another. Why is PP stout and SynPower isnt? Also, how stout are we talking? Delvac 1 or Amsoil 15w-40 stout? What point of reference is being used to base...

Which one of these is the better offering in terms of overall performance. The T&S comes in a 5qt jug and the TDT in a 4qt jug. They are both about $20.

I have a Suzuki Ltr450 Quad. Im currently using Rotella T 5w-40 in it. Are any of the oils in the title a better suited lubricant for my quad? It has a shared wet clutch setup. All three of these oils are within about $1 per qt. Which would you recommend?
