Just noticed that my latest Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage oil is no longer Dexos as per label. It was last time but no longer I guess. Not a big deal to me but was just wondering if anyone else noticed this change.

Thoughts on Lucas X-TRA and RED N Tacky greases (or any other brands?) for use on a motorcycle pull behind trailer wheel bearings? Small trailer with 12" wheels. New to trailers so any help is appreciated.

I keep seeing folks on here talking about building up their oil supplies at the house. Why have a large supply ( more than is needed for the next O.C. ) at the house that will be several years old by the time you use it? Wouldn't you want to be using the latest oil formulations in your vehicles...

On my last trip to Walmart, I noticed that they had no more Mobil Super oils on the shelves; big or small bottles. Also, they seemed not to be stocking other varieties of oils as well; curtain viscosities and such. Any one have ideas on what they are doing? Love their prices but their selection...

If I've heard right, AutoZone's STP oil filters are made by Champion Labs and O'Reilly's Microguard oil filters are made by WIX. Who makes Advance Auto's CARQUEST oil filters?

I see that Quaker State says that their HM oils have a boosted zinc package for more protection. Does anyone have any idea what they "boost" their zinc level to?

Just bought a 1964 GTO with about 4K on the rebuilt engine(389 3X2). Am looking at using Amsoil Z-Rod 20W-50 or 10W-40 in it for year-round use. What are your opinions on this oil and what other recommendation for an oil can you give me.

Does anyone know who make O'Reilly's Motor Oil? Conventional, H.M. and Synthetic? How does everyone feel about an 6-8 month OCI on it? Thanks, Vinnie

Does anyone know where to find the PDS for the current AC Delco 5W-30 dexos oils? What do you think of the quality of the AC Delco oil filters for going full term on the OLM?

What is everyone's opinion on the oil that the Chevy Dealers use for oil changes? Standard dexos 5W-30 and oil filter? Just got a free oil change during a rotation because I didn't request it. Still had 50% left on the OLM with synthetic oil and Mobil1 filter in it beforehand.

Just wanted to find out if anyone can get the NOACK% and TBN of the Mobil1 EP 5W-30 oils. Mobil doesn't give these numbers in their PDS on their site. Just trying to compare with Amsoil XL 5W-30.

I was reading the PDS for Valvoline Synpower 5W-20 and noticed a very low cold cranking viscosity; 4000@-30. Amsoil XL is around 5500@-30. How important is this number and how do you compare oils in reguards to the CCS? How does this relate to the pour point of oils? Just looking for a very good...

Getting ready for my first OC on our 2011 Equinox and trying to decide on an oil filter. I like the Purolator PureOne and the Fram Tough Guard filter because they're 99% efficient. Does anyone know the efficiency of the OE AC Delco filter?

Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that AAP has Pennzoil YB on an unadvertised-sale for $2.99/qt. Great price as prices keep going up!

Have a 2011 Equinox coming up on 4400 miles. Want to decide on what oil to use at the first oil change. Couldn't get a good answer from GM as to the factory fill in the 2.4L 4 cyl. Want to use a dexos1 oil so my choices are: Pennzoil Platinum, Mobil1 or Quaker State UD. Amsoil XL says that it...

What is the general opinion on Maxlife vs. Pennzoil HM 10W-30? I have both because of sales and have been a Maxlife fan but wanted to try the Pennzoil HM. Does one stand out from the other?

What is the best way for me to do a complete flush and fill on the auto tranny on an 2002 Honda Accord and will I need 2.7 Qts. or 6.5 Qts.?; initial fill or total fill? Thanks for the help, Vinnie

Does anyone know who makes O'Reilly's High Mileage Oil? They have 5 Qts. and an oil filter on sale for $11.99. I use Maxlife but would be interested in trying this oil if it's made by Valvoline. Also, who makes their MicroGard filters? Vinnie

I would like to get opinions on Valvoline Maxlife 5W-30 and the use of Purolator Pureone oil filters. I'm using these on both a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 and a 1996 Toyota Corolla. Any thoughts on the use of other HM oils? Both cars have over 100,000 miles.
