    Youtube Oil Experts

    I have a strict no AI garbage policy. If a thumbnail looks like it has that AI look to it I click don't recommend. And if I was subscribed to it before well too bad unsubscribed. And no I don't watch any of those AI oil comparison videos. They are pretty easy to detect and figure out to not...

    Newer 0w20 PCMOs dropping Dexos 1 Gen 3 approvals

    Margins are gonna get compressed with shell losing capacity and the consumer not being able to take the full price increase only a little so they have to cut costs and take them out so the company can still continue to give executives raises during the times and not make shareholders too mad in...

    New oil cooler fitting and lines

    Not even a little weep surprisingly. I'd be shocked if I saw them that rusted given how rust free the rest is.

    Rental Car Review: 2026 Camry

    50+ mpg even when going at 75 with ac? that's stellar. I imagined the mpg would go down to 35-40 once you went close to 80 which would still be great. Someone here mentioned that the a25a quiets down a lot when accelerating with 30 grade or thicker.

    2009 Chevy Cobalt Low on Power

    What plugs, If they were counterfeit which happens even at local parts stores due to scum bags returning fake junk they know is fake that might be the issue. Someone on here saw that at the store they worked at. Other than that I wonder if the maf isn't metering right. Unplug and drive it for a...

    ZF6 and transfer case in 2002 F-350 call for Mercon V - recommendations?

    I'd use Castrol transmax sold in jugs at walmart. 7cst so it's a bit thicker and it's smooth operating. But people use gl4 75w-90 and say it's the best for shifting so maybe that or 75w-85. I think that's for later zf6's so i don't know if there are internal differences in the zf6 in old and...

    Mobil 1 Oil Filter for New Toyota Camry

    I think he was referring to correcting himself after the fact by saying "Should of said" but didn't put the i first. I don't always put the letter I when saying something either so I sometimes confuse others and even confuse myself when reading my stuff a year or more later and wondering if I...

    Mobil 1 Oil Filter for New Toyota Camry

    Seems to be the case. The Mobil 1 warren filters are about identical to the pgi ones in appearance and quality control so they probably do use their factory capacity.

    Providence (Rural King) 5w-30 conventional

    HD 30 and 10w-40 would be my choice, comes out to $2.60 a quart. But the better 15w-40 in buckets are 2.50 a quart too. A shame we've got no rural king in Texas I know I'd love the place.

    Has something changed within the last year? I was going off of your post #11 in that thread.

    Mobil 1 Oil Filter for New Toyota Camry

    Correct but it's both. Warren contracts with pg to produce their filters. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/prime-guard-oil-filters-now-under-highline-warren.391674/

    Mobil 1 Oil Filter for New Toyota Camry

    Restriction is never an issue. If it is the filter is clogged with 40k mile old oil and is full of sludge. The new Mobil 1 filters are made by premium guard so they're good. There's other options made by PG that'll be the same but less due to not having the mobil tax on them.

    Ceramic coatings offer almost no UV protection.

    I remember reading about waxes called optima or optimum that claimed to have uv inhibitors and I think some variation of colinite wax also claimed uv protection but you'd have to reapply either monthly I'd imagine. I have no experience with either. I use griots 3 in 1 and have been for years i...

    496 BBC roller syn or regular 15w40

    Any full syn 15w-40 not t6 would be good. He could use delo xsp, Mobil Delvac Extreme, or Valvoline HD Full Synthetic but Mobil 1 15w-50 is a great oil so I think he should run that instead of vr1 and rotella.

    Dot 4 Sl1

    How cold does it get. The purpose of it is to allow for very fast and accurate abs operation in the cold. But this is for when abs activates not regular driving. In warm/hot days there's no discernable difference even with that low viscosity stuff and dot 3 if you were to try to test it...

    Automotive News Report : Oil Shortage Looming

    I believe the guys at hpl have tested their own 10 speeds with their thicker LV fluid and found no issues if used instead of the ULV which they also sell. The additive packs are the same if I recall and the viscosity is the only difference but it's too small to matter. It would increase fuel...

    Oil recommendations-SBC 383

    I'd use off the shelf full syn euro/diesel oils except SuperTech Euro or Rotella T6. Give the new valvoline HD FS diesel a try. 4.3 hths is nice and the ad pack is high on zinc and phos. Can't go wrong with delvac extreme or delo xsp either.
