I noticed that the ASL 5W30/ATM 10W30 are no longer showing the ACEA A3 rating. When/why...just wondering.....

O.K. spent alot of time reading on this subject. Just how critical is oil phosphorus content to converter life. I'm not a fan of "cat friendly" oils but then again I'd rather not have to replace pre-cat and downstream cats at 50,000 miles. Is my concern real or perceived? Should I worry about...

Had my oil changed at my regular shop. I trust these guys they always do a good job. But today one of the mechanics picked up one of the empty bottles of the Schaeffers 7000 I'm using and started reading the label, said he had never heard of this brand before. I tried to give him a little...

Spec sheet says Grp II+ base oil, but I have seen older posts saying the 5W30 has a Grp III base. Not that it really matters but my curiosity is up on this with all the Grp III publicity lately. I'm running the SL GF-3 version of this oil in a 1GR-FE Toyota engine and should have a UOA in a...

What's the most outrageous vehicle you ever drove as a daily driver. I use to have a Vega with a 327/375 hp Vette motor and a custom chopped heavy duty rear axle with 4:11 gears. Very nice installation and set up done on this car. It was my only transportation for almost 2 years. Lotsa of fun on...

Which provides the best protection a PAO or a group III. I realize there are alot of other factors involved here but generally which is the better base stock. Looking at the prices of the currently available "synthetics" somebody must surely think the Group III is equal to the PAO in quality and...

I'm looking for opinions on how soon to switch over to synthetic oil in a new engine. The engine in question is a 05 Toyota 4.0 V6 or any engine for that matter. Mobil and Pennzoil state you can use their synthetic from the get-go without issue. Anyone ever experienced an oil consumption issue...

Help, how do you post a VOA that's in PDF format?

Just recently purchased a 05 Toyota 4Runner with the V6 1GR-FE engine. This engine produces 245 HP, the same as the earlier Tundra V8's. I traded in my 04 Dodge truck with the 5.7 Hemi. Just never felt comfortable with this truck and the gas milage was about 13.0 mpg...ouch. Dodge has had so...

Does anybody think we will ever see gas prices back to what they were a year ago. Is the average price nation wide for regular going to be around $1.80 from now on or possibly even higher. Wonder what the impact will be if it goes to say 2.50-3.00. I've always considered fuel cost to be an...

The manual on my engine recommends a full flow filter..exactly what is a full flow filter and how does it differ from other filter designs. Thanks...what a great site!!!!

2004 Dodge 1500 4X4, 5.7 Hemi, currently using 5W30 Redline and Mopar filter, no oil analysis yet. Wondering if GC 0W30 would be an option. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. First Dodge, first Hemi, hope it serves me well.
