Both meet A3 spec and both have same Phosphorus 1000 ppm and Zinc 1100 ppm levels. Which would you use and why? I have a 94 Mercedes-Benz with M119 4.2 V8 with 95k miles. Just did the cam oilers and the inside of the valve covers were clean as a whistle and there was no scaring at all on the...

that zinc maximum (actually phosphorus) for API SM (ILSAC GF-4) products only applies to SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 viscosity grades. Other SAE grades do not need to comply. Incidentally, ILSAC GF-5, due in a couple of years will drop phosphorus maximums to 700ppm (or about 770ppm...

After reading the article thoroughly twice, this old dog might try a new trick. Not necessarily the product, but different viscosity such as full synthetic 5-50. See: http://www.synlube.com/faq.htm http://www.synlube.com/sae5w-20.htm

Just found this for $5.98: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr...&lpage=none Local Lowes does not have any and I was wondering the specs. Can't find them anywhere. Have no cats wink wink so not concerned about a high level of zinc ZDDP which I am looking for in a oil. Anyone have any info...

The EPA makes mileage requirements for the manufactures in essence to lower emissions. It does not rate each and every car emissions but sets a max limit it must fall below. The thinking is if a car gets twice the mileage it would use half the amount of gas in turn lowering emissions. It has...

See link:http://www.fram.com/oil-filters/xtended-guard.php Currently using Mobil 1 Extended filters but considering these Fram too. What is your thought and why.

Are the Mobil 1 Extended oils are using more PAO than regular Mobil 1? Castrol states on their website that the Edge line contains PAO where the Syntec does not. Is PAO the main ingredient that allows the longer OCI? Being in sunny Florida where I won't see any sub zero temps, should I use...

Just got a 96 Buick Roadmaster with 47K on her. Went to walmart and got confused. Walmart syn-tech 5w-30 or 10w-30, castro gtx 5w-30 or 10w-30, or maxlife 5w-30 or 10w-30? They are all about $12- $13 per 5 quart jug.

"Low friction, a key component to producing more power, is achieved through the application of Molybdenum Di-Sulfide (MoS2) piston coatings and cylinder sleeve plateau honing. Plateau honing lowers the friction level between the pistons and the cylinders by creating an ultra smooth surface...

I have a 06 civic with the 1.8 sohc engine and 5 speed auto tranny. I am coming up on 5,000 miles and plan on dumping the original oil even though my oil life monitor says 50% remaining. I live in humid hot SW Florida and travel 70% of the time on the highway. I was inbetween using Ford...
