As per title, I want to find a review for the Amsoil XL 10w40 engine oil. Any help?

i have to clean this mess, but cables plugs, spark plugs cables & sensors aren't isolated enough to hold water drizzle or any oil based degreaser. so, any suggestions to make this bay looks nice without risking plus & sensors to get affected?

as title states, what is the difference between Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 and Shell Helix HX8 Synthetic 5W-40

Quote 0C is meaningless between an oil with a 0W and a 5W winter rating. You must go to temperatures around -35 or -40 to see a clear difference. Would you explain more? Quote Isn't the Shell Helix product readily available there in Egypt? That is one of the best motor oils on the market...

Originally Posted by JMJNet The number before the W in this case 5 or 10 specified the viscosity range when the oil is cold. 5 is thinner than 10 The number after the W in this case are both 40 specified the viscosity range when the oil is hot. So for practically it is in the same range of...

Originally Posted by OilUzer owner's manual should talk about engine oil spec and recommendation. some cars just specify a simple API Sx or GF-5 ... Sounds like yours maybe like that. I would use 10W with that temp range and try Shell first, if it didn't taste good , I will then try Edge and...

Originally Posted by JMJNet I don't think the car will care whether you put the top three or the top ten. It does not have any soul. As long as the oil meets the correct certification specified by the car you put into. I will pay any way, and most of them are close price wise, so why not to...

Originally Posted by nascarnation If you choose their line that meets your vehicle recommendation, any should be fine. Shell, Mobil (Exxon), and Castrol (BP) are the big names worldwide I believe. appreciated

Originally Posted by Averroes First off you're in Egypt, so, Salam Alaykum. In terms of oil, I have never heard of Wolf, Mannol and Bizol so those three I can't speak on. When it comes to Liquimoly and Motul, those are more boutique oils. Smaller companies who jack up the prices of their...

pardon my lack of deep knowledge, but i think i didn't get a solid answer. is it safe to me to use the 1.1mm gap platinum plugs or i should tighten the gap to 0.8mm as original copper plugs as the heat range is identical??

Originally Posted by Snagglefoot I can offer you this. On the left is an Iridium plug I pulled with 180,000 miles on it. On the right is it's replacement about to be put in. It's hard to tell in the photo but the gap opened up a bit on the old plug. It still functioned fine with no misfire. I...

Originally Posted by ZZman Any cleaner with PEA in it will help. Not sure you have top tier brand stations there. But they guarantee a decent amount of detergents in the gas. (top tier may ve a U. S thing though) would you explain what are (PEA, U. S)?

Originally Posted by Mad_Hatter I don't know that you can remove sulfur from the fuel with a pour in treatment. I think it requires a catalyst of some kind during the refining process, but maybe I'm wrong and there's something out there that I've never heard of. Does Egypt not have standards for...
