    Kendall "versatrans" in Jeep 45rfe?

    Have the dealer put in writing that they used the Kendall instead of the ATF+4,and ask Kendall to send you something on company letter head that they say it's OK to use it in your trans.

    ATF+4 Application

    I use Type F in all my 727's and 904's.No problems using that.I'm not keen on the ATF+4 in the 727..you can use the Dexron/Mercon in the older 727 trans with no problems

    dodge caravan tranny fluid changes

    Depends on what year the van is...the early 604's were having sealing ring problems.The 604 hasn't been used in years,now is a different name, trans,and much better.

    New here experts

    Great filter,I've used them in the past,but too expensive.I'm using SuperTech until my current stock runs out then probably will switch to Wix.

    Valvoline Racing oil is popular, why?

    We tried Valvoline many years ago after we couldn't find our usual Quaker State racing oil,and found that it held 10lbs less oil pressure,so at the time we switched to Castrol.I use Mobil Delvac 15w40 in my race engines.

    Straight Weights

    I used Quaker State 30 wt in my 85 Dodge Ramcharger until I sold it.Had over 185K on it and still going strong.The original owner was using 30 wt Valvoline.No problems and the valve covers had never been off of it.I did replace the timing chain set,and the engine looked great.

    Walmart's Recycled Oil...

    The U.S. Government uses a LOT of re-refined oil.The Post Office has been using it for years.Where does it come from?? Safety-Kleen and it's "blended" in Canada.

    Opposite question to the Pennzoil/QS ones.....

    I have used Quaker State most of my "oil change history" in my own cars.Nothing and I repeat NOTHING is wrong with it. Yes they did have a problem in the mid 70's.It was due to a additive package they were buying from another oil mfgr.They caught the problem and they did pay for engine...

    Why is warming up your car bad?

    I don't let my truck "warm up",but I do let it idle after starting about 20-30 seconds,This allows the idle to settle and then I'm ready to go.

    GM on Oiled Air Filters deny warranty claims

    The ban on 10w40 by GM wasn't due to stuck rings..it was camshafts wearing at a high rate and they(GM) said that it was better to use 10w30 as it would get to the cam/lifters faster. The 10w40 of the 70's was /is good oil,I never had any problem with it,and we used it in the race cars too.

    Mobil Delvac 1300 for 4 Cylinder Stock Car

    Interesting topic as I just switched my drag race car(440 Mopar) to Delvac 15w40 dino.At last weeks race I noticed that it didn't "thin down",it maintained very good oil pressure after a run.I spin my engine to 6800 rpm's and I'm right at 200 degrees at the end of a run.I think it will work very...

    Dodge 2.7 V6

    I'm a retired Chrysler master technician,so I'll give you some real and truthful info....The 2.7 that Mitsubishi makes for Chrysler use is a sludge demon if the oil isn't changed every 6K.I think that is the engine you are hearing all the horror stories about.You should have the Chrysler built...

    Oil for Ram Charger 318

    Use the 15w40,that 318 will go another 177K!! The leakage may be the valve covers weeping on the back side,I've seen this happen on the older 318's/360's.

    NASCAR teams use off the shelf oil?

    They do not use "off the shelf" oils.... The teams get oils that have additive packages that are unique to their application.The base oil is the same as what we use,just a different additive package,and it's mainly viscosity and anti wear improvers.
