I just picked up this truck and needed to know what you folks think I should run in it. I have been out of the BITOG loop for a while, so any insight would be great! The manual says 5w-30 or 10w-30 but it seems that Ford went back and recommended 5w-20 for these modular motors. What is the...

This is the first UOA for this vehicle. It had 32400 miles on the engine and 5200 miles on the oil. How do I make this image bigger?? Here is the direct link: http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt229/slochippy/F250uoa.jpg Here are the comments: ROB: You were interested in fuel dilution...

I have seen several threads about this so I asked my friend about it (Ford Diesel mechanic). He said that Rotella does not have enough cleaning agents for the injectors. He and I know that Rotella is speced for the Ford PS 6.0 but what about the effects to the injectors which are not part of the...

I posted this in the GC section. Anyone try it? There has to be a GC nut here.

I have to ask... Has anyone done it, thought of doing it, thinking of doing it, or even had a UOA with it?

Anyone know how the oil rates to others? I have a stock 04 Powerstroke 6.0 that sees regular towing.

Not for long though... Just want the motor cleaned a bit. I think it would burn too much to use on a regular basis. Any experience with GC in a Saturn DOHC 1.9?

Its a 96 with 99k miles. It runs great yielding a nice 35 mpg on CA crap gas. I am running a mix of Delo 15-40 and Motorcraft 5-20. With the oil consumption issues that these cars have, I am thinking of just running the Delo alone. It does consume some oil... maybe a quarter quart per 1000k...

Looking at upsizing the tires on my explorer to 31x10.50 15's. I am looking for good sand and snow traction. I have the stock size Yokohama Geolander AT's on it now and they do very well. My only complaints are the noise as it ages and poor fuel economy. Any thoughts on the Destination AT's...

3 quarts of Delo 15-40 and 2 quarts of Motorcraft blend 5-20. This is intended for my supercharged GM 3.8 which calls for a 10-30.

Will these types of oils intended for diesels have a better additive package than regular SAE rated oils in SM? I am thinking of making a blend of Delvac and a lighter weight oil for my 3800 supercharged motor. I will be doing a UOA, of course, but would like some suggestions regarding some...

Here it is. I hope this comes through: Looks like its time to tear into the top of this motor. I would like to thank Blackstone labs. They took the time to call my house and tell me before they even finished the findings. I was sleeping but the wife answered the phone and got the bad news...

I have always wondered which gas stations carry the best gas. I realize that most of the gas comes from the same refineries and the companies just add their own additives. One day, here in California, I spoke with the owner of a Unocal station regarding the 91 octane premium (Highest Octane...

Changed the K&N for a paper on this run. What do you think? Sorry for the poor quality of the SC. This is my first time. LOL.

I have a ford explorer 5.0 that has seen full synthetic since 800 miles. Mobil-1 to be exact. Its at 86,000 miles now. Never had an engine related problem but these motors are know to last for a long time. I am considering changing to Halvolene 5-30 as its such a good oil. Cant beat 7.xx for a 5...

1998 Ford Explorer V8 AWD with just over 80k miles driven hard. The first number is my result. The second is average after 3500 miles. Blackstone: This is with a K&N drop in air filter and Purolator oil filter. Should I stay with M1 or try some Halvolene?

BECAUSE I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE!!! Autozone, Kragan, Kmart, WalMart, Pep Boys... its no where to be found. Where do you folks get it at? Has anyone in Santa Maria CA found any? help...

Let me know what you folks think here: Blackstone Labs 1999 3.8 V6 supercharged Grand Prix with 64,311 miles. 5,097 miles on oil. AC Delco PF-52 longer filter than stock Comments: Rob: Sorry it stook so long for you to receive your container. We have two more coming your way. The stroage...

I have a 98 ford explorer V8 that has used Mobil-1 synthetic since it had 870 miles. It has over 82k now. I have read that the MC oils are very good and in some cases are a synthetic blend. Would I be just as safe using MC opposed to M1 for my 6k to 7k oil changes? I tried to search but have...
