Wow, first time I've checked this forum in d@mn near 7 years and it looks like it's become one big troll nest. To the answer the OP's question, I own a '99 1200S (and a '95 Evo as well) & run Mobil1 15W-50 exclusively.

If there's a Costco in your area, give them a shot. They usually have Chevron Supreme in case quantities for around $10-$11.

I never do anything in moderation -13 5qt. jugs Mobil1 SS 10W-30 (looted the local Wal-Mart last fall when they had 'em for $9.83 ea.) -7 5qt. jugs Mobil1 SS 15W-50 (same as above) -14 qts. Chevron Supreme 10W-40 -3 qts. Mobil1 75W-90 Gear Oil -39 Penske and 22 Castrol MaxPro (Wix) filters -...

Costco carries Chevron Supreme (and Delo too). If there's one in your neck-of-the-woods, give it a look.

This bad boy will handle your every filter removal need : It's actually a ChannelLock PVC pipe wrench, but I've never found anything that does a better job on oil filters.

Amen. All the Costcos I've been in carry it - and usually in 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40 weights. Give or take $10/case.

I'll agree with J. I have a '00 Tundra with the I-force V8, and run Mobil1 10W-30 at 5000 mile intervals with Penske (Wix) filters.

For all you Chevron Supreme fans that live in areas with Kragen/Checker/Shucks Auto Parts Stores, they're currently running a coupon special on the stuff: $.69/qt. with mail-in rebate. Otherwise, Costco always has it in 5W-30, 10W-30, and 10W-40 for about $11.00 a case.

Looks like py1091 is ready to drink the Kool Aid.

The Wal-Mart here also usually has Castrol GTX in 5 qt. jugs.

Castrol MaxPro and Penske (K-mart) are also made by Wix.

Well, the big block Shelby Mustangs (GT-500's) fit this category. And my '81 SB Vette **** near does. What a PITA

As far as I know, they're identical . . . at least that's what a NAPA counter honk - er, auto parts expert - once told me

Yes, I have 3 vehicles that I run 20W-50 in (either currently or in the recent past). In my 2 Harley's I used to use Mobil1 V-Twin until it was pointed out to me a few years ago that M1 15W-50 automotive oil was essentially the same product at half the $$, and I switched to it. I also have an...

*sigh* I think this makes about the third time I've posted this link in answer to the question 'who makes Penske and Castrol filters?'. Allied Signal - now Honeywell - likely/probably/supposedly/reportedly manufacture Fram and Penzoil filters; but the Penske's and MaxPro's are a Wix product.

I see. Well that would come as a big surprise to "his" crew at Newman/Haas Racing. It would also surprise the good folks at Denso who supply the filters for the Toyota RV8F engine in "his" Lola race car. K-mart Bubba is also on the low side regarding the cost of said powerplants. Each car in...

Yes, they are a good deal and a good filter (made by Wix as is the Castrol MaxPro), but you'd better grab 'em while you can because it looks like K-mart is clearing their shelves of pretty much everything but Fram.

Gravity bleeding works just fine. The only drawback is the fact that in a lot of cases it takes forever I just finished completely replacing the brakes on my '81 Vette today (rotors, calipers, pads, lines, hoses and master cylinder) and this time I pressure bled using a pump made from an...

Russ Knize is the author of this study. His website (minimopar.net) is regularly maintained. The Oil Filter Study is still on that site although it hasn't been updated in a couple of years. This link will take you there. It's as unedited as you will find - and includes the unflattering email...
