I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee with a small oil leak from the rear main seal. I know that the HM oils are quality oils (regardless of maker) but does anyone have any examples where they have actually stopped a leak?? Thanks

I was looking through some old service receipts from my 1995 Jeep Cherokee. I found some receipts from a 'quicky' lube joint Anyways..the previous owner had the transmission serviced by them and the fluid used was completely wrong. The place used a GL-5 fluid when my tranny is only supposed...

I was having a discussion with a buddy about synthetics the other day. He has an old POS car that is full of crud. He said that all he needs to do is run synthetic for awhile and it will clean it all out. I said that synthetics are mostly for KEEPING an engine clean...NOT cleaning it. Am i...

Here's the story...1993 Toyota Tercel, 1.5L 4Cyl, about 80,000 miles. It is currently used on mostly short trips as my wife is on maternaty leave but come the new year will be back to dealing with a 35 mile hwy commute one way. Currently the engine looks pretty sludgey (if thats a word)...

Ok...first let me say that i know GC is a tremendous oil and will continue to use it as long as I can get it. I have it in both my Jeep Cherokee and my wifes' Toyota Tercel and there is a definite difference in smoothness in both motors and significantly less noise. My question arises because i...

Ive read all the merits of GC...and recently found a huge stash at a local walmart (havent been able to find it until this week). The tercel is our daily commuter (60 miles to and from work on hwy) and lots of short trips on weekends. I know the 4 banger runs pretty hot and has been really hard...

Was at the local parts store today to pic up a pureone filter and the guy told me they no longer carry purolator because they have been bought out!! 'Made in China' all over them please refrain from profanity on this board, it is not welcome here Has anyone else heard this?? Time to go to Wix...

Quick question for all my fellow canadian Chevron fans... Where is a good spot to find a stash of Chevron oils. The only places i have seen them are at the Chevron Stations but it is near $5 per quart. I know Lordco sells Havoline (same as Chevron)...but the selection is very limited at best...

Ive been thinking about the whole idea of high mileage oils and their claim about conditioning seals. If someone has been using high mileage oils for a long time, could there be over conditioning of their seals in turn making them weak. Just like if you condition leather boots too much, they...

Quick questions, I am going to be running some 15w40 in my jeep cherokee. I was thinking about running some castrol gtx diesel oil but i have not seen any reviews on this oil. I know that 1030 and 530 gtx are great oils but what about the diesel side of gtx. Input would be appriciated.

Ok...Oil Gods...Give me your devine advice. My wife has a 93 tercel. It pukes blue smoke until it warms up in the mornings. I will be changing the oil now for the rest of this cars life and want the best for it. Do i go with a HDEO (rotella, xd-3) to clean that sucker out?? Or go with a HM oil...

Just wondering...im currently running xd-3 15w40 in my jeep. Coming up this winter...would it be worth it to flip to 0w40. Im on the west coast of Canada so it rarely gets below zero but there may be times when it does. What is the coldest temperature people have had 15w40 run in?? Cheers

I was in Lordco today and saw they have Havoline 15w40 HDEO...i think it was called Havoline Atlas or something like that...anybody using it???Dislikes???

My jeep isnt used very much. Pretty much just weekends. I know it is said that 3mths/3k miles are the recommended oci. But this seems like a waste to me because the 3 months always comes before my miles. Is it ok to wait for the mileage intervals to come insted of the months?? Oil wont wear down...

Ok...went and purchased some esso xd-3 15w40 for my 95 cherokee this afternoon. I am thinking of running this for spring/summer - summer/fall intervals and then changing to xd-3 0w40 for the winter intervals. What do you think? Any problems with switching between the dino and syn?? Would i be...

Are there any differences between the oil brands that are found in canada and the us. I have seen that havoline is highly respected, is the formula in canada going to be the same??? THX
