The reason we have synthetic oils is thanks to aviation industry and the turbine engine. The invention/engineering of a Synthetic was to meet the demands of the jet age! https://www.aviationpros.com/home/article/10389094/turbine-oil-review That technology trickled down to the automotive world...

I haven't bought QS since 1997, but this junk was on clearance at my local WM for $2.78/qt. I bought about 20 quarts and will use it my Golf IV 2.0 and an old worn out 5.3 LS which it'll be more than good enough for. Would I run Wal-Mart oil in a newish Porsche? No way; but if you've got a...

Fuyao has been utter Garbage in my experience. I've had 4 of them in my 2006 Silverado since I've owned it. Does anyone know of another supplier? The first was installed at the dealer 8 years ago, the 2nd & 3rd were done by Safelite and the 4th I had an independent shop do. The indy guy said...

SWEPCO 101 Moly Grease Hands down this is the best grease for CV joints. I worked in a race shop and it's all we ever used.

That stuff sucked in my 2001 Accord. After about 5,000 miles the tranny started acting up, I drained and filled w/M1 then but the Honda Stuff back in, tranny was never the same since adding the Maxlife, sold the car...

Well I ran a 2 tanks of Shell Vpower w/4-6oz of Acetone through my tank, then a tank w/Techron (20oz bottle), and I'm about halfway down on a tank with 1/2qt of MMO. Well today I go to change my plugs/cap/rotor and when I pulled the plugs out of the car there was Zero oil or Carbon on the...

I just purchased 5 containers of Auto-Rx and when I got the Invoice it was sent for N.Nova Rd in Ormond Beach, FL (right down the street from where I used to work). Coincidentally the Oil Additive Company X1-R is based only a few miles south in Daytona Beach (on Bill France blvd). I'm curious if...

They probably said it because, it's not energy conserving rated. Political.

Drain it into a clean container and put it into another vehicle. A lot of Miata guys run 3K on M1 or GC then dump it into their Ford Trucks and stuff.

I'm curious who makes the Motorcraft oil? I mean it has to be just some repackaging; right? I put some 5W-20 in my Girlfriends mother's Escape in exchange for a hair cut. Figured it was a fine oil for her application, and it was only $9.xx for a 5qt jug at O'Reilly's.

I'm running the BC (Belgian Castrol) in my Mercedes, BC is also sold at Autozone and is a 5W-40 opposed to the 0W-30 GC. The 5W-40 states right on the FRONT in large print of the bottle that it meets MB229.3 and 229.5, it also meets BMW and VW specs as well. I run the GC in My Miata but the BC...

I totally agree, but My 1.6 4-cyl in My Miata (doesn't get much more high strung than that) Loves the GC! Pumps up the lifters nice and quick and keeps them quiet. This is what's making the Lex engine sound loud, and have that sewing machine sound. Your lifters are probably dirty on the inside...

^ That's the oil I used to run in all my VWs and we ran in our Miata VW Race Cars, but the "Red Top" seems to not be available anylonger (at least around here). I picked up 8 Quarts of Belgian Castrol today the 5W-40 and am going to run that with a bottle of Motor-RX through it. I'm also going...

I thought the 05... was Gold?? I can't tell if the stuff I have is Green or Gold (No I'm not an idot; just color deficient). I only thought ..04.. Numbers and down were green.

Works AWESOME! Seriously I used to work at a race shop and was the guy who dissassembled all the engines, brought to the machine shop and got everything ready for Motor Builder to build it. I of course hot tanked the blocks before taking them to get honed/bored/decked at the machine shop, but...

Hi, I have an 82 280E Mercedes. According to the Specs listed on the GC bottle it meets spec called out for my Mercedes. But in my Owners Manual it says I should use a 20W-40 or 20W-50 oil for my climate 0*C +up. I use the GC in my Mazda Miata and the engine loves it (nice and quite HLAs). I...
