Castrol is Overpriced and a dino in a synthetic bottle performance wise. Valvoline has weak add pack Royal Purple is bogus and [censored] in a bottle Penzoil sludges engines ( I honestly wont use it ) Motorcraft isnt a full syn Mobil 1 has high wear metals ...there is no oil on the face...

Hello all. Feels good to be back, I haven't frequented this site in a while. I recently sold my mustang and bought a pickup truck.. an 04 ranger with the 3.0l engine 110,xxx miles on it. I do all of my oil changes at 3,000 miles..regardless of oil. always have - always will. All is fine except...

They seem to really be pushing the 'More HP gain' propoganda- with papers to back it up.. I was watching Powerblock a few weeks ago on SPIKE, and the dyno should like a 5HP gain..there website is filled with proof from other TV shows, such as trucks, ETC. and magazines that show a dyno proven...

So This truck is used for parts delivery at a parts store i work at. I can not begin to you what type of severe service this vehicle sees. It sold me on to ford and i'm not even a domestic guy. for one, this car, is never turned off. Yup. you heard me, never turned off. It is on from 8 in the...

I am now on the Rinse phase of Auto rx, about 1000 miles into it. The oil is still light yellow..my motor is very clean though, i've maintained it well, so i' not really surprised. Anyway, i want to see exactly how much deposits i could get out if i used something a bit harsher, so when i drain...

Got the ABA 2.0 engine, i've got a Supercharger in the garage that i'm too lazy to put in but will be going in by the end of the year once i get my Cam in. Naturally, being the German car owner that I am, I only use synthetic oils and now with the Supercharger i'll def. be using only synthetic...

Besides NuPolish (i jsut want to try something else) where can i find pure 100 percent no wax added polish? Everything i see is cleverly worded and usually contains both, i just want pure polish. Where on earth can i find this?

I've searched this site for a year now and i've always heard real positive things about Auto RX but i've never used it. Well i graduated from high skewl and I got a credit card, so naturally I bought an HDTV and ordered auto Rx. What inspired me to do this, i always envisioned my engine...

I hear about Valvoline having weak add pack, etc. What motor oil has the strongest add pack, and most detergents for cleaning?

Between Max Life Full syn. vs Castrol Syn. 97 Jetta 88k hard miles very well maintained, engine in very clean state.

I've had pennzoil platinum in my 97 jetta for almost 2500 miles now, why is it so clear? i've had valvoline before, and it turned brown after 1000 or so, same thing with valvoline, but this pennzoil platinum is CLEAR! perfect yellow on the dipstick. PP is also priced pretty cheap, does it have a...

Hey all, it's been a while, No one probably knows or remembers me i lost my password and i haven't had the chance to post on here because there was some error sending me a new one, but today it worked. ANyway I got a job at jiffy, and here is what we learned. 1) "ALL OIL including synthetics...

I think that my teacher was at one time a bitoger. Today- we cut the oil filters up; and we spent the period talking about how bad fram is. somethings he said- i didnot agree with- and i voiced some of them out also. 1) All fuel additives are useless. ..... WHAAA? 2) All oil *even synthetic*...

My Jetta has 84k on it. 97 model year. Car sees track alot- abused honestly. I got the car at 79k. Now- the car was 2 owner owned, i was #3. I don't have maintanence info but here is my reasoining. 1st owner: traded at 40k with warranty intact. Second owner- had warranty till 70k. i got the car...

My aunts car is horrible- and its her fault. The car currently has no noticable engine problems, but first some things you should know. The car has a bad oil leak, i've replaced everything that i could myself, with experience from only 16 years of life. I've replaced the oil pan gasket, which...

Hey- just wanted a quick answer. Im convinced the best filter for my 1997 VW jetta 2.0 is the MANN OEM filter, but i don't want to spend 8 dollars on a filter. Whats the best bang for the buck? i run 3k or 6 month changes on my jetta, and it sees harsh driving conditions in GA traffic, and sees...

Im not going to run it through a vacuum line, because i just put new plugs in, and their a pain to change on this engine without the proper tools- so chances are i'll damage the wires if i change them again. But- i was wondering if ill get any gains from running them in the engine and the fuel...

MY jetta is my first car, my first oil change, which was the day after i got the car (97 jetta) I was real low on money, so i got Havoline and Fram filter, I knew even at the time that Fram was bad, but it was on sale for a dollar, and I ran this for about 2000 miles till I got money, which was...
