It may just be some valvoline, it seems to be some good oil and might just stick with it. I like castrol but last I read here on bitog is that it's not that good either. Shell oils have had a bad rep for years, their gas is a top teir fuel. So fuel wise it will be the only fuel for me.

BTW, all I have used in the blazer 350 is castrol and valvoline a couple times, once I tried valvoline high mileage syn-blend. On the chevy forum guys with 270k have ran syn with no problems but I think I would be better with dino. Just whatever the preferred dino is and price doesn't matter.

Engine looks real clean, I just replaced the oil pan gasket and oil pump. Replaceing the valve cover gaskets. It uses a little oil, maybe a quart in 3,000 miles. Haven't had this truck long and guessing synthetics are out of the question. So a good dino oil, been using castrol 10w30 high...

Ok, Amsoil it is I guess. Amsoil MTF Synthetic Synchromesh. I have a performance shop that sells it here in town. I think is about the only place to buy it unless I order it.

My owners manuel suggest syncromesh fluid in the tranny. Is there something better?

If I sold mine I probly wouldn't go back. I would miss it but I would probly find love in a ThunderBird Super coupe. I do love my SHO, and probly will keep it till it blowes. But it will have to do it with me keeping up the repaires. To think of it, I think it's time to do the rod bearings and...

Make sure your valve covers aren't leaking by looking into the plug wells. If they are change those ASAP. Might want to check out http://www.shoforum.com/ for more help with your car and possibly more help on oil choice, since we are SHO guys and most of us work on our cars. SHOdownTN

EGR hard to change? Man try changeing the VSS. The VSS is the hardest part to change. Spark plugs are no problem to find, I get them in any part store. I run Autolite Double Platinums in my 93 SHO ATX. My car has 170K on it and still runs great. I change my oil every 3000 with Castrol GTX HM...

Ok, atleast I got the answers I needed. I will use it and be comfy now, I might add a little Valvoline treatment to it to thicken it up a touch for my truck. Use it all up then probly go back to what I'm used too. Sorry, I would do a oil test but I am not that picky. I have had no problem with...

The whole wax thing is so stupid. I understand from reading here that there is no oil brand that has wax in the oil anymore. Quacker state and Pennzoil was the 2 BADDDDDDDD ones but that was back in the 70's, now neither are suppose to contain it. I read somewhere Pennzoil was made by Texaco...

I don't know much about him lol. We just started raceing dirt track. Nothing as fancy and expensive as the late models. We run Hobby Stock at Bull's Gap, got the joy of pitting beside Bloomerkist. People gather to watch him unload his car from the trailer. True about track conditions, the Gap...

Asking cause I have about 6 cases of 5w30 sitting here. Going to use it in my cars but worried of going from Castrol GTX HM. If it will do as good or better then it's on. I will start useing it untill it's all gone then maybe stick to it. My dad has praised pennzoil for years but I like...

I watched this car race a couple weeks ago, if he uses lucas in it, I wouldn't use it in a lawnmower. He was one of the slower cars on our Dirt track in his group. Bloomquist spanked him and everyone else.

I went up to Fairfax Va. last winter to haul his boat he just bought back to Tennessee. Comeing through the mountains I hit snow, it wasn't bad at first. No snow sticking just falling. I get down to around Roanoke and the snow is sticking to the road and the snow s****ers are out s****eing and...

We had 3 finger joe in High School that we got to watch.
