(and we are talking about motor oil here... ) Dave you have really drunk something, I mean wife drinking a motor oil? Am I reading it correctly?
March 18, 200917 yr Author Dave you have really drunk something, I mean wife drinking a motor oil? Am I reading it correctly? Glad to see someone was paying attention.... No drinking here ( though I'd like to), unless you count Nyquil.....stupid weather.
March 18, 200917 yr Author Mobil 1 for one car, Penzoil Platinum for another, and the last one gets Napa Synthetic (Valvoline Synpower)
March 18, 200917 yr Shell Rotella-T in the DuraMax. Pennzoil or NAPA (non-synthetics) in the wife's GP... tho usually the dealer changes it as opposed to me.
March 18, 200917 yr Author I've always used Quaker State. My Balt used that up till the last oil change, and the wagon ran it it for years... Good stuff.
March 19, 200917 yr GTX High Mileage 10W40 in the 'Burb with a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer; has 250,000 miles on it and doesn't burn but a few drops between changes (every 3,000). Only time I ever used Mobil 1 was after I swapped the new 3800 into my '96 Riviera because it put me back to 14,000 miles and I figured it was worth it for a basically brand new engine. Speaking of synthetics, anybody used Royal Purple or Amsoil? If so, is it as good as they say it is?
March 19, 200917 yr Both cars came with maintenance, so its whatever the dealership puts in. The Buick was getting the cheap $h! from Wal-Mart, since it just burned it off. Once I get the new motor rebuilt, it'll probably get Quaker State.
March 20, 200917 yr No drinking here ( though I'd like to), unless you count Nyquil.....stupid weather. NyQuil counts. Forget that fact it has no alcoholic content, it's practically legal moonshine.

Once I get the new motor rebuilt, it'll probably get Quaker State. Scary enough, Walmart's stuff is actually pretty good....

March 23, 200916 yr Cars 1981 Bonneville 10W30 in whatever brand the dealer puts in. I think it is Quaker State 1985 Caprice 10W30 Quaker State at the dealer 2008 Impala 5W30 Quaker State at the dealer. Just for fun. 1986 John Deere 165 lawn tractor. 30W. 2007 Craftsman LT1000 lawn tractor. Made the mistake of putting 5W30 in it. People are telling me I should have put 30W in it. Maybe I will rectify this before mowing season starts.
