I was at advance today getting some delvac 1300 because walmart quit stocking it. They were out too so I had the counter person get me some from the stock room. Then he asked me what kind of truck I had. When I told him it was a powerstroke he said that delvac is for dodges and that fords use...

I have a 96 F250 powerstroke with 172,000 miles. I have used both Rotella and Delvac in the CJ formulation. Both are priced just about the same and both will be used for 5k oci. The truck uses about 1.5-2 quarts of oil in 5k. Which would you use and why.

In a harley twin cam. The manual specs 20w50 or oils rated for diesel. I know many sport bike guys run 15w40 but any harleys? Would it cause a problem?

My twin cam electraglide has always had harley oil and filter changes, some syn3 and some dino 20w50. This time I got a Napa gold black filter and 4 qts of pennnzoil 20w50 in the yellow bottle. I figured it did so well in my wifes car, why not give it a shot. The whole deal cost me 12-13 bucks...

I know they are both Wix made filters, but is anything else different? Napa wants $22 for the FL1995 motorcraft sized filter for my truck, while Carquest is around $18. With my discount the Carquest filter is $9. Why such a price jump to get it in black paint?

I went on a ride today with the local HOG chapter. I started asking people about their service practices. One man had 98,000 on a 97 roadking using bel-ray 20w50 semi syn at 5k changes. Another woman said she only uses harley oils at 3k changes, she had 145,000 on a early 90's ultra classic. For...

I go to advance because of the selection and high stock. But today I was unable to find a FL820 motorcraft oil filter. Four (yes four) workers stood at one register having a conversation in a language other then the one spoke in the rest of the country. I had to finally stop them to ask for a...

I have two vehicles to choose oil for 1.2003 Ford Explorer 4.0L ShouldI use 5w30 motorcraft or pennzoil. Both are cheap and easy to get. 2.1996 Ford F-250 7.3 Turbo diesel should I use 15w40 Rotella T or Motorcraft( motorcraft comes in 5 qt. jugs rotella comes in 4.) Both will get 5k changes...

I just did the first oil change on my moms new ford escape. It has a 3.0 V6 that specs 5w30. I was at walmart and couldnt find enough oil for the change. All of the quart size bottles must have been sold out and jugs only hold 4-5 quarts. So I bought 6 qts. of pennzoil 5w30 and a motorcraft...

My wifes Explorer has 95,000 mile on it and for its last change I used Mobil Delvac 15w40. We just used the car for or trip to the beach(300 miles.) It got 18.8 mpg which is the same as with 5w30 mobil1 and one gallon of delvac is only $8.68 at walmart. Is anyone else using diesel rated oil in...

The show how its made on the Discovery channel did a show on Fram.They showed from raw sheet metal to finished product(cardboard caps and all).It was a good show but I still think their car line is a lesser made product.

I get them through work for cost. The fram PH2 or motorcraft FL820 sized hastings to fit my wifes truck costs me $2.99. Anyone have any feedback on them. The can fells heavy and the center tube has more holes them motorcraft with no spaces between the media like fram.

My vehicle is a 1996 F-250 7.3 Turbo diesel. Ive been using rotella 15w40 and a hastings filter every 5K. Im thinking of switching to Motorcraft oil and filters just to keep it oem. Any thoughts on which combo will work better. The truck has 165k miles and the rotella will save me a couple of...

I have lots of shell rotellaT 15w40 on hand, can I use it in the wifes 4.0 explorer? The explorer has 95,000 miles on it and gets changes every 5k.

Sorry if this post cant go here. I "removed" the air divertor plugs from the mufflers of my fuel injected electraglide. The bike still has baffles but no plugs to route exhaust through them. I have no other mods done to the stock bike. Bike runs great and does not pop or crack at all. Will I...

I gave up on paying for harley oil and used Castrol GTX 20w50 at my 5k service. What weight oil do I need for the primary and gearbox? Is formula + like a 30 weight of a 75w90 gear oil. Im thinking of running SAE30 GTX in the primary and 75w90 (coastal from warren for 2.99) in the gear box.

The wix onlide catalog calls for a 51215 for my 05 electraglide standard, but a 51348 for the electraglide classic. Both bikes use the same part # from harley. The wix tech line had no idea why the same bike group with the same engine would use two different numbers. One has a burst psi of 300+...

Im going back to dino oil in my 05 electraglide. I feel better changing it every 2,500 miles with brand X then I do every 5,000 miles with Syn 3 or Amsoil. I thought about Rotella 15w40 but want to stay with OEM grade of 20w50. Any HDEO diesel or car oils up to the test for less money then...

I have a toyota tacoma V6 that takes a 90915-YZZD1 oil filter. The dealer sold me a 90915-YZZG1 telling me thats the new number. Anyone else using the yzzg1 filter? Its not from Japan, it says made in the USA.
