Just picked up a 2009 suburban with the 5.3L engine, 85K miles. Between Pennzoil Platinum and Castrol Magnatec, both in 5w30, which would you choose? Looking at these 2 because I can subscribe on amazon and get great prices on them and never have to try and track them down come time to change...

I see a lot of guys on AR forums that are using a mobil 1/ATF mix in various ratios as lube and I have not seen any negative reports from doing this. Wondered if anyone here has used this and your thoughts on it. Any reason to choose M1 over another brand for use as a gun lube?

tried to search, but I can't find what I am looking for. Read through like 50 pages and I must have missed what I am looking for as this seems like a popular engine. With the family growing, it was time to get something a little more family friendly than the old faithful Jeep Liberty. We...

Stash of Havoline synthetic is gone Gotta get a new oil for the wife's KJ. Engine is 3.7L V-6, has 80K on the clock. Have run mostly the havoline synthetic in it since we have owned it, did a change or two with PP, but seemed to have more valve noise with PP vs. Havoline syn, even the wife...

This past summer I moved to the middle of nowhere, and I have to drive nearly an hour to get my preferred Napa Gold filters. So, for the sake of convienence, I need to pick a new "go to" filter. Vehicles are 2000 Jeep grand cherokee with 140K on the clock, but only 10K on the engine (installed...

Dad just picked up an 07 Silverado with 8K on the clock. Its due for its first change with him, and he was asking me what I thought as far as oil and filters. I am a fan of Napa Gold/wix filters, so I recommended that for filters. As far as oil, I blindly said PP, but that I would see what I...

I know, seems like a simple question, but it doesnt say on the PP bottle that it is compatible with all oils. I have one more run of dino on the break in of my re-man engine (Jeep 4.0), then back to synthetic. OCI will be 2K on this run. I have one lonley bottle of PP 10/30 left from a few...

last time I bought RP max gear (2 years ago) a local auto parts store ordered it for me, something like $7 a quart. Now I need more, cheapest I can find it locally is $10, most places want closer to $15 a quart!! Found it for $9/quart with free shipping on the internet, but only in 75w90...

for my wife's jeep KJ with 5 speed NV3550, would amsoil MTF or royal purple syncromax be the better choice? Thanks

Napa's website has different specs on the filters for my jeep than the wix site. Napa says the gold version of wix 51085 has a flow of 9-11, but wix says that the 51085 has a flow of 7-9. Oversize FL1A equivilant (wix 51515) and napa gold version are both 7-9. Is it possible that one of the...

Getting a remanufactured engine put in my Grand cherokee. Inline 6, 4.0L. -What is the best way to break in the "new" engine? -I have a stash of havoline synthetic 10w30, can I use this right away or should I go with dino for a while? -I was thinking of changing oil after a day of running...

Just picked up an 03 Liberty with 59K on the clock. Dealer changed oil at 58,500 with Pennzoil 5w30. I was planning on changing around 60K and 65K with havoline synthetic 5w30 (which I have a stash of), until the powertrain warranty is up. Planning on using the Motorcraft FL 400s filter. Anyone...

What is the best way to store my lawn mower for the winter? Gas in or out? old or new oil? any other tips? What about my weed eater? Thanks

... run M1 5w40 in my wife's 99 Altima 4cyl, 2.4L? It has 67K on the clock, running M1 5w30 for the past 20K with no leaks or oil consumption. OCIs have been 10K with 5K filter changes and top off. Driving conditions are close to perfect. Oil filter is either a PureOne or Prem plus. would...

I've taken over the maintenance of my mother in laws car. It is a 1999 Dodge Avenger with the 2.7 I believe. In the past, she usually took it to a walmart and had them use pennzoil. I think she used 10w30 in summer and 5w30 in winter. right now she has Mobil 5000 (from my free batch) 10w30...
