    Why doesn't Schaffers oil get more love?

    I purchased Schaffers motor oil from Bob Winters. He and I visited together at my home and at his home. After the onset of his illness it became quite difficult to remain in contact.

    High Performance Lubricants PCMO Series

    I was generally satisfied with Blackstone. However, the last sample from me was charged to my credit card and I never got back the report from them. Several months I made contact with them again and was told they were sending it. Nothing ever came.

    How many people prefer to use the dealer for services while under factory warranty?

    I like to do my own maintenance and I know for sure what oil goes into my cars. I also don't worry about the drain plug and filter being over tightened and difficult to work with the next time I work on it. I also do other routine maintenance work on my cars and I know for sure tires are...

    Oil Change: Hot or Cold?

    I like to do the oil changes on my cars with the oil pretty well heated up. I attach a clear 3/8" tube to the Fumoto valve and get a very clean drain. Now, I'm trying to come up with a way to make the filter removal a bit cleaner.

    GDI Engine Owners - What Oil ?

    I have a 2020 Chevy Equinox LT 2.0L GDI that I have used Mobil Triple Action 5W-30 in, mostly because it is D1 G3. However I've picked up some Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 for my next OCI. I would prefer it in 5W-30 but I cannot find that in my area. I'm making this change largely because it is C3 and...

    What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

    My first would be an HPL 5W-40. However, going with what I could afford it would be Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 C3 with its other stringent specifications although I don't need all of them for my cars.

    Synthetic blend

    It might be that where you live you aren't allowed to do the oil and filter changes yourself. This puts you to a bit of a disadvantage and you have to use a corporate entity to do it for you and they don't get it right every time. After all, it isn't their car, even though some of the employees...

    Should I push HPL longer than 4K OCIs with track use?

    HPL lets us know more about their products than any of the others. With what we know about it, I think you can safely carry on with your proposal to extend your OCI. If I was into the kind of driving you are I'd do the HPL at the OCI you're considering.

    Oil Drain Valve - Brass vs Stainless

    I have the Fumoto valve on my 2008 Honda Civic. Also, I have one for my 2020 Chevy Equinox 2.0 TDI for its next oil/filter change. It works a little slower but is a little easier.

    Found a Reason to Stop Using 15w-40!

    I remember the two fingers being shown as Kendall being the TWO Thousand Mile Oil. I also recall oil changes being done every one thousand miles. Now you know I'm an old guy. I still do my oil and filter changes.

    Amsoil 0w30 European - 3.5 HTHS and personal health report

    StevieC -, I wondered what had happened to you. I missed your posts when they stopped coming in. I'm pleased to know you can do your oil changes, but I understand that you have a long way to go on your road to recovery. I hope and pray you will make it all the way.

    I've never seen Mobil 1 ESP at any Wal-Mart in my area.

    My OCI checklist

    Not a bad routine. A long time ago, as a boy I would clean and lubricate wheel bearings, chain, and pedal hub, on my bicycle, which other boys in the neighborhood did not perform on their bikes. Quess whose bike lasted the longest. As a young adult exposed to military service we did daily checks...

    Dealer used 5.5qts for my 10qts capacity Blackwing

    Stories like these make me feel so much better about doing all maintenance on my cars. Not just oil changes but all that have to be done to make them last as long as they can. Doing it myself I know that it's done properly and on time.

    So what is the deal with HPL Oil?

    I was thinking on going with HPL when I run out of my stash but I'm now not sure I want to wait that long. The customer experience seems to be so great that there isn't any apparent risk. I've never been one to seek the cheapest oil possible meeting requirements, so a little extra cost here...
