What is "good oil"? My '06 Lincoln Town Car has 159K on the odometer, 125K put on by me. I changed O/F every 8K to 10K miles, avg 21.5 MPG, use ABSOLUTELY no oil between changes, and have used nothing but CAM-2 100% Synthetic as long as I have owned the car. Is that "good oil"~?

I'm really at a loss trying to understand the il-logic of trying to save a $ on something essential that will last for the next 5K to 10K miles. Look at what you are paying for one gallon of fuel and the distance it will serve you till the next fill. I'm far from rich, but when I find the...

You are living in the '50s. Back in the day we had open crankcases allowing the engine to take in dirty air and pollute the oil. Today we don't have that type of crankcase ventilation. In those days we had carburetors so the fuel mixture was not always 'spot-on'. Carburetors allowed cylinder...

Hmmmm. What in the world are you putting in your septic tank? I've only had one pump out in over 20 years. I don't wash any food or non-degradable debris into mine. The pump out was caused by a failed drain field. The old drain field was made out of the old black perforated piping and had...

That was me~! I have used 5W-20 motor oil in every vehicle I've ever owned starting with a new Dodge Polara 500 in 1965 with a 383 cu in motor. That first oil was Atlantic Imperial. I've lived in NJ and FL. I've never had an oil related engine failure. My father drove a 1956 Studebaker...

Today's cars and trucks are costing $40K to $80K. Why would anyone concern themselves about saving $1 or even $5 when considering motor oil or filter cost~?

2006 Lincoln Town car owned for 13 years. 147,744 miles 5W-20 Cam-2 100% synthetic, OCI 8,000-10,000 miles FRAM Titanium filter for synthetic oil Car has never used the tinyist drop of oil, gets 21.3 mpg I've used 5W-20 oil since 1965 First brand was Atlantic Imperial.

I've used 5W-20 wt oil in every vehicle I've ever owned since 1965. In 1965 Chrysler was rumored to have soft crank shafts and it was said that heavier weight oil should be used to protect them. I've always viewed oil as a lubricant rather than a cushion, and I never cranked an engine over...

I used a 'speedy oil change joint' once and only once. The tech installed the drain plug with a torque wrench, The next time I changed my oil I had to use the longest breaker-bar I could find and all the strength I had to remove that plug~!!

Because I can't find my Cam-2 Synavex for sale anywhere

As best I can remember, the Buick engine was cooled by a liquid coolant, so in either hot or cold weather the engine would be kept at whatever temperature the thermostat in the cooling system was designed to keep it. I've run 5W-20 in every car I've ever owned since 1964 regardless of what part...

2006 Lincoln Town Car Signature Ltd, 156,266 miles, oil and filter every 8,000 to 10,000 miles using 5W-20 Cam-2 Synavex 100% synthetic. Checking oil before draining and have never found it to have used even the tiniest drop. I love the 4.6 engine and Cam-2 motor oil~! How many of you are old...

My, my. Remembering that air cooled engines are affected by ambient temperatures, run 40 wt in hot climates and 20 wt in cold climates. We are talking about air cooled engines and not water cooled, right~?

I worked for an oil/fuel jobber and met the CAM-2 rep. He knew more about motor oil than anyone I've ever talked to. We became distributors and I began using it. We also sold Amalie and Citgo, but was so impressed with the DAM-2 rep that I decided to use it.

Because I can't find my Cam-2 for sale anywhere~!

My '06 Town Car has 155,000 on it and has never used the tinyist bit of oil. I've used CAM-2 5W-20 100% synthetic in it for the last 90,000 miles but can't find it for sale anywhere. Is there any reason why I shouldn't begin to use 0W-40 Mobil-1 in it from now on?

I don't use blended oil of any kind, BUT I do use and have used Cam2 5W-30 100% Synthetic for years. I never see it offered on-line these days, but have been lucky enough to find it available at two places in my area, I plan to buy enough to have it on hand for the next 5 years at least. I only...

I have a friend who constantly tells me I should buy a new car.. My current driver has 150,000 miles on it, gets 21.9 mpg, uses absolutely no oil, and is extremely comfortable. Any new car the I might consider buying costs over $50,000 and gets 21 to 30mpg. I've been offered $2500 trade-in...

Oil producers were forced by our government to reduce the amount of ZDDP because their claim was that ZDDP would cause catalytic converter failure when the vehicle was driven over 100,000 miles~! Of course un-elected bureaucrats know all about that kind of thing~!

Well then, I was just out of step with the main stream wasn't I~?
