Was just in Walmart a couple days ago and ended up going with the Supertech for a couple reasons (20k mi rating, Dexos1 Gen3), even tho it was a few bucks more than the 0w30, which *could* be a better base stock. Did I make the *best* choice?!

I'm having a heck of a time trying to find an appropriate motorcycle oil for my bike, which is calling for a 15w-40. The only legit option I can really find with a claimed (but not actually certified) JASO MA rating is Rotella T4. I've heard it didn't shift too well in my Kymco Spade, so I'm...

I've seen this video which puts AmazonBasics / SuperTech synthetic virtually up there with Mobil 1 synthetic, which is the style of test I'm looking for... but these are 30w oils, which probly have the "energy conserving friction modifiers" that we are supposed to fear in bikes.... -...

I've always run my engine for a minute or two to get the oil SOMEWHAT less viscous and expecting it to drain smoothly. And, I expect this doesn't get it as thin as would be preferred, so I typically take my time and let it drip for a while. Sometimes I feel like if I put the oil pan bolt back in...

I had to buy a small tub of CRC synthetic brake grease for a caliper job a month ago. Now that I have no other caliper pins that need to be lubed, is it possible to use this synthetic grease on spark plugs, EGR pipes, etc. I don't see why not, right??

Castrol seems to have the best "Which oil should I use?" site that I've seen so far, mainly for its wide range of temperature applications... http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectionbodycopy.do?categoryId=9024084&contentId=7073092 But are there other sites like this?? The Castrol site lacks a...

Need to order a new set for my mother, so I'm thinking that noise & comfort are actually the most important characteristics. Was considering the Falken SN211, but I found a review that wasn't too favorable of those tires on the Corolla... so kinda moved it to the bottom of the list. Also saw...

In particular, I'm looking for: - 5w-40 && 5w-30 - 0w-40 && 0w-30 I'll be buying whatever is cheaper at the time, which will likely be the 5w's. And I've read that RedLine has the lowest NOACK, around 6%. So that's something that I'll want to try out at some point, I'm sure. But feel free to...

Been doing some research. Started out looking up info on the E3 spark plugs because I've actually had good results with them in 1-cylinder motors (bicycle motors, lawnmowers, & such)... but I soon discovered that the makers of the E3 plugs are actually pretty small and are more than likely NOT...

Here's the deal.... - Two cars ('97 Volvo 850, 2.4L, non-turbo && 2008 Toyota Corolla, 1.8L) - Temps (Will have gotten down to 32 deg F just four days this winter, but pretty much stays in high 90s for half the year) - Want full synthetic - Know somebody who deals Amsoil and can sell it to me...

Hello, I'm in search of the thinnest gear oil made for a manual transmission. Long story, short is that I just bought a '94 Nissan Hardbody with 208k miles. It doesn't appear to be kept up as well as I'd like, but I got it for just a tad more than scrap value, and it DOES run. Very impressive...

I'm somehow attracted to cars that have anywhere from 150k to 300k miles. Typically, 10w-30 is my cup of tea. I used to use Valvoline only, even Synpower only... but I have noticed that synthetic does seem to clean the dirt deposits around gaskets out fairly quickly. Now, I'm after saving $$$...
