A facebook photo blown up over the oil I used

[redhat]

Logged into my Facebook account today for my quarterly check-in and saw that a picture that I posted about two years ago was getting blown up with comments between a few people about the fact that I used Castrol Edge Titanium 5W-30 for an oil change in my 2007 Taurus.

It just made me laugh at how no real evidence "directs" some people, so I thought I'd share 30 or so of the comments out of the couple hundred that blew up the photo.

Here's the pic (Dad's 180k '95 Beaut S10 in the background

):

Person 2: Castrol is the leading oil company for break down. In other words castrol breaks down before any other leading brand. I run valvoline. Always have and always will.

Person 2: Valvoline is a very good cleansing oil without additives. Frees a lot up in the valve train. Pennzoil gave my probe a knock. Mobil was pretty good stuff. I trust it.

Person 2: I check mileage every tank on all my vehicles. I always strayed from valvoline by its a great balance product and my escort loves it. I'll toss a bottle of Lucas in every other change. I do my oil change every 2k and its clean as can be after that. I know guys log there Hondas ha I'll respect that but I hate them personally.

Me: If I would use any fuel system cleaner I'd use Chevron Techron but that shouldn't even be needed if you use a top tier fuel. And 2k on oil is very wasteful.

Person 1: It's not really good to add additives you kno... Look at the older dodge caravans with all the tyranny issues... People added stuff to the fluid and they started to buck and shift hard, should of just ran what it called for

Person 2: I just did a royal purple synchromax swap for my gearbox that product. Made a huge difference I'm shifting.

Person 1: My buddy tim at work had a 98 caravan used oem fluids and got 300k out of engine and tranny still runs new, too bad he blew the water pump lol

Me: Lucas Oil additives aren't that great -- think of it as 80wt oil and soap that gets bubbly when it thins out
7 minutes ago · Edited · Like

Person 2: Not with the way my car is driven its not wasteful. Still looks awesome when it comes out but I just run conventional. I don't do the additives. Just Lucas every 4k. I don't need fuel additives. Replaced my pump filter and tore down my injectors and reconditioned them over Christmas.

LOL, folks will hang onto their oil myths pretty tightly...

How dare you run that Castrol slop in there. Next time use some City Star!

Bahaha, so sorry I forgot, LOL. I'm assuming you occasionally visit PQIA as well?

 

[Clevy]

The oils looks pretty good but adds Lucas anyways.
What an idiot.

 

[antiqueshell]

What can you expect from "fb"?

 

[WiskyBadger]

I personally change my oil with Bullet 10w30 every 1,500. I don't need no reports I know that my engine is pristine inside.

 

[redhat]

I love going in gas stations either near me or when I'm on trip and glancing at what oils they have. Many times I shudder in horror.

We got a FNG 2 months ago that only uses Castrol. He uses 15w40 in his 92 ultra rag a muffin chevy 4.3 truck and 20w50 in his about the same era S10 2.5. According to him QS is very bad, valvoline is bad and pennzoil is ok if you use it with MMO.

And sythetic anything are no good. Don't use them ever. I keep telling him to "keep his hillbilly non-sense to himself" and that they "don't belong in the automotive field."

He is mid 20s and sounds like a grizzled 98 year old.....

I'm not sure if he is learning anything from me yet but I call his [censored] instantly. I just can't listen to his ramblings.

pure awesome!

Also some other stuff he said, "I won't own anything with ABS." "I won't own anything newer than 2000." "GM should use Delco filters, ford use motorcraft, Chrysler use STP" "Anybody that spends more than 1000 on a vehicle is a dumb&^%$."

He sounds like a real winner. His head must spin if you mention direct injection.

I made his head spin by installing Autolites in my Regal. We been ordering Autolites for everything to make him mad, hoping his head twists itself off.

Nice that you have a Regal GS and a GP. Love the 3800's and the S/C. He must think that you need 10W60 or something in there. LOL.

 

[bvance554]

What is your point? Sounds very similar to many of the oil myths that float around here.

2nd paragraph of my OP explains why I posted this.

Thanks. Yeah I told him I run 5w30 in all of them, always and beat them up. It makes him squirm.
