I recently purchased a '99 BMW 328i that has around 59K miles on the odometer. My question: is it OK to top off the oil using Amsoil 10W/30 ATM, Redline 5W/30 and/or M1 10W/30? I know the dealership uses BMW performance oil, which I think is some sort of Castrol synthetic. I've read several...

Got my UOA back from Blackstone Labs today, and, boy, am I disappointed in the numbers; in particular, aluminum is very high. By way of contrast, check out my last UOA using Amsoil 0W-30. Assuming the lab results were accurate for the latter (not Blackstone), then the aluminum count is...

Hi, all. Does anyone know the sump capacity for the above vehicle? Thanks!

I'm changing the oil on my sister-in-law's VW, and at the parts store the guy told me 6.4 qts. Well, being somewhat cautious, I decided to check the dip stick after adding 4 qts. Now I'm not used to viewing VW dipsticks, and we don't have a manual handy, but it appears to be reading full.

Hello, everyone! Just purchased a '95 Jeep Wrangler 4-cyl. with 128,500 on it. Though I'm a huge Jeep buff, it's hard for me to imagine someone (salesman?) using it for serious highway cruising; but, oh well . . . Anyway, the oil pressure seems to be holding just fine on it. And since I'm...

Hi, guys! This shouldn't be too controversial a question (yeah, right!), but do you believe that Amsoil Series 2K 0W-30/3K 5W-30 and Redline 5W-30/10W-30 are fairly comparable oils in terms of quality? I've been reading the posts here for a while, and it seems like Amsoil gets more attention...

Hi, everyone! Having just perused the recent issue of "Modified Mag," I noticed there was an advertisement for Oil Extreme < SNIP > Their motto is "Better than Synthetic." Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge/experience/opinions on this product. Cheers, Jeff [ December...

Hello, everyone. First a comment, then a question: 1) I love this site, which is very informative! 2) Where can one acquire the oils listed in the Subject line? Regarding the Redline, I've seen people post used oil analyses; I'm just really curious where they obtain the oil in the first place...
