My whole thing with Havoline is that it's not exactly cheap. The cheapest I've seen it here is $1.99/qt. I've never seen it on sale or coupons offered.
hehe... sorry to hyjack, but, to elaborate a little on that subject.. An isuzu rodeo/passport, is hardly an isuzu eithor... It's more like, a reverse engineered nuetered sudo-copy of it's eastern counterparts here in the states... it's full of GM parts over here, for many years, they even had gm engines in them.... then they switched to an isuzu designed gasoline engine that shares it's design ideas from many chrystler V6s... The manual auto trannies used for many years, were pure GM. Current Isuzu's, are nothing more than rebadged versions of GM products (those GM products, however, are gasoline versions of the isuzus being sold in asia, that came out years prior, pretty funny eh-?quote:
That Honda Passport is 100% an Isuzu, it's NOT a Honda, period. However, if you look on KBB, that Honda Passport, same year, same mileage, is worth more then an Isuzu Rodeo - but it IS an Isuzu.
Welll..I don't know why you would need to be a "real chemist" (I'm not) to do some minor origional thinking and add an oil to get something better. I have Put a quart of RedLine in with a number of other oils and frankly it improves the wear numbers. It might be a reach to assume that that is a good thing, but its the best I can do.quote:

I also find it humorous that people mix different weights and a little of this and that to make a better oil. I reckon they are not real chemists but probably just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
pscholte, this part right here though I find interesting. Everyone has the choice to like what they want and prefer a particular brand when it comes to any product. But what does it being European have anything to do with it? Mobil 1 is very popular in Europe, but is made here in the US or over seas plants. Motul is made in France. I guess your trying to link Europe with higher quality? If so, I think thats misleading.quote:
Because I am a Euro guy and when I found out it was brewed in Germany and that it was a Castrol product brewed in Germany that is all I needed to know
