First of all....relax Pscholte, I'm not joining the ranks of the GC bashers. My last 5qts of GC gold are going into my Wife's VW Golf this afternoon. The car has been running great on this oil for the past year(5-7k OCIs). The problem is simply....availability. Too many trips to AZ, too many...

As per Valvoline's instructions...They want you to pour VSOT into a warm, running engine. Its obvious that they feel this process benefits mixing, which I don't doubt. But for some folks this could present some problems. First of all, it would require you to run the engine as much as 15oz below...

I recently assisted my Mother-In-Law in the purchase of an `06 Pacifica Signature Edition(AWD). The dealer is recommending 5W30(dino)@5k OCIs. Naturally, I'd like to get her started on a synthetic oil regiment. Mobil1 5W30 was the 1st to come to mind simply based upon local availability, but I'm...

Good stuff...cheap too(less than $1 @ wallyworld). I'd been using Gunk, but this stuff is about half the price and cleans just as well without the noxious odor. Since its a foaming cleaner, I seemed to use less of it to get the entire engine clean. After I was done with the engine, I had enough...

I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. The bottle has been relabeled, slightly. The words "Unlock the Power" now appear under the "Syntec" label on the front. Batch# A0523121323 A4 Meets specs: API SL/SJ/CF ACEA A3/B3/B4 BMW Longlife 98 GM-LL-8-025 MB 229.1/229.3 VW...

Since this forum has been modified to include all european oils, I figured I'd add this one: http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000183#000000 A topic of many previous discussions, this oil is either loved or hated here @ BiTOG. Possibly the "red-headed step...

OK, I just did something that I swore to myself I'd never do.....purchase an all new, untested (by the consumer base) tire. Yup....I'm the guinea pig. Anyway, the tire is the new Fuzion HRi. My decision to but them was strictly price driven since they are the lowest price that the Tire Rack...

Yes, the elves have finally drawn me in. I saw the red "0w30" label on the AZ shelves and the bottles seemed to jump into my shopping basket. Seriously, I'll be using this stuff in my `03 VW Golf 2.0. The past 40k miles on it has seen Rotella 5w40 @ 5k OCIs. My plan is to run the GC for 6-7k and...

I've already recommended these to my Sister-in-law for her `98 4wd/4dr Blazer. They would seem to suit her driving habits well(mostly highway)and are highly ranked on Tire Rack's consumer surveys. She also uses the Blazer to tow a small camper, but I think the 108S load rating should be up to...

I'm currently working with a local racing team that has just completed a full season of small car(stock)enduro racing on a 1/4 mile paved oval. The vehicle is a 1987 VW Jetta coupe with the standard, SOHC 1.8ltr engine. The problem which we encountered throughout the year was some intermittent...

Hello all. I've been lurking here for a while and have finally decided to speak up. I've already made several decisions based upon my aquisition of information here. So far, I've found this online education to be rather beneficial. Just for a little backround....My daily driver is a `93 Volvo...
