Hello. I have a new to me 2009 Duramax with 45,000Kms. All winter I have been running T6 5W40. Just wondering if I should switch to Rotella 15W40 for the summer months, or keeping with the T6 5W40 is fine? In the summer I will be doing some towing, but nothing really over 4000Lbs. I have easy...

Hello, Trying to choose between PP 5W30 or Esso XD3 0W30 for a 2007 Envoy with the 4.2L engine. We see a lot of cold winter weather but I'm sure both these oils do well in that. Anyone know if these inline engines like a heavier oil like XD3? Thoughts?

Does anyone know the difference between the LF3945 & LF16104?

I'm on the fence between PP 5W30 or Castrol 0W30. Winter is coming, the worst this OCI is going to see is maybe -20C the next one will see the worst of Canadian winters where it will be -30C some nights... Thoughts?

I am thinking about dropping the gear lube in my VP SX drive. I bought the boat used this spring and for what it's worth, I would feel more comfortable knowing the drive oil is new and not 1 or 2 years old. It looks clean, but that doesn't always mean anything. I've already changed engine oil &...

Hello, could use some advise here.... Just purchased a 2004 18' boat with the volvo 4.3L engine. Manual calls for synthetic 30W oil. I have very easy access (and an employee discount) to the synthetic Chevron Delo 5W40 and the multigrade Delo 15W40. Primary use is wakeboarding/skiing I'm...

Hello, just wondering if someone can tell me if it is okay to use the Motul 300 75W90 which is a GL-4/GL-5 oil. Application is a 1998 pontiac firefly with the 5 speed manual transmission. Can someone tell me if this is a "wet clutch" application? The dealer book that I have says not to use in a...

Has anyone tried or considered trying Chevron Delo Synthetic 5W40 in a marine application? I'm currently using the Delo 15W40 Mulitgrade in a 4.3L Mercruiser EFI engine and it seems to be working well for my application. Any thoughts or suggestions please let me know!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is any advantage to warming up an automatic transmission in Neutral as opposed to Park? We just had a cold spell of -40C weather and I was just corious.... Thanks!

I got this information from a Fleetguard service rep. I thought is was interesting to note the differences between the two. LF782 is their regular paper media, LF3554 is their synthetic media. Both are the same size and fit my application. LF782 retails for approx. $6cdn LF3554 about $10cdn...
