I purchased a used 03 Chevy truck with the 4.8L that has around 88K miles on it. This truck gets very low usuage and when it does it's short trips or towing a 17.5' boat. I wanted to here some suggestions on oils to use for this type of usuage and if they showed well on UOA. So far since May the...

Just thought I would re-post this in the correct area for future searches. Details: 2006 Polaris Sportsman 500EFI w/ 50 hrs and 300 miles on machine. Oil had only been changed once and was not drained from engine block (couldn't find that plug the first time!) so there was ~cup of oil left over...

I did a search and found one good post about what fluid to use in the ford 5 speed manual (MTX 75) but really no concencous was formed. The book says to use Mercon ATF and both the dealerships I contacted said to use Mercon V. I've looked at Amsoil and they spec'ed 5w-40 Euro lube. The car...

Well I wanted to throw out this issue I have with my 2003 Caravan with the 3.3L and 65K on it. My wife says when she goes from Park to Reverse and backs up somewhat quickly she can hear the transmission/axle grind. This doesn't happen all the time but on occassion. I've had it happen to me once...

Ok here is something I been wondering about for a while. I read articles talking about changing synthetics for higher milage vehicles. Well in every article they talk about Group IV oils and how the Esters are extremely good cleaners and that if your vehicle hasn't been very well maintained that...

Not sure if this is the right place for my question but I'll throw it out there anyways. I currently have a 06 Sportsman 500 that I use mostly for plowing and the occassional trip. I bought in Dec of 06 and right now it has around 270 miles and 35 hrs so that's an indication of it's usage...
