I guess what im looking for, and thank you for your time and input. Is supertech synth better than a penz dino? sorry i whould have been more specific sorry. But i would like to say i have learned alot from all of you guys over the the past months as i am a novice mechanic [by novice i mean very...

Ok i was just wondering. i use penz high milage 5/30 in my work car buick 3.1, i recently started to buy the value 5 qt. jug for the oil change with the st 3387a [i believe that is the number] oil filter. My question is the Supertech synthetic 5/30 any better than the penz high milage 5/30. The...

I started seeing these comercials last week but have found very little about them. All i can find is that they combine the bypass and full flow together [i think] and it filters in a spining action. Anyone know if this is a gimmick or does it really work and that much better than standard...

97 skylark, just 2 days ago when here in michigan we got nailed with a bunch of snow my red brake light and amber abs light popped on and wont go off. the brakes still seem to work fine but not sure if its just a pesky dummy light problem or a serious one [as lack of brakes usually are anyway...

Here is what we did with my wifes work car Accourd with 144,000 + miles. it was making a ticking noise but my brother [gear head] told me that this was common with the honda especially with higher milage. This is what he did and it seemed to help with some of the noise and power loss problems ...

i use an ST 3387A filter and i have yet to have one fail on me. I have used the ST filters since it was recomended to me by more that a few people here at this very board. I did my research as i am also what you get is what you pay for minded guy. i contacted ST and asked them a few questions...

pennzoil high milage 10w30 it is a bit thicker and when i hit the 100,000 mile mark on my vehicle it seemed to actually help quiet it down a bit and it ran smoother at idle. Also if you havent yet may want to think about flushing your engine. alot of people on this board like auto rx. I...

If they are junk then show me the lab resaults that say they are junk. I would rather go by that than your suck and blow methode. The truth is that it is the opinion of the user. I have seen several people on here say one filter is better than the other but cant provide test data from an...

can you recommend an upper cylender cleaner

Ok tell me just for grins, if you had one vehicle and could only use only one filter/oil combination for the rest of your days what will it be: OIL = FILTER = oil/fuel ADDATIVES =

The history of my car is as follows: I bought it used in 2000 [its a 97 ] but it went to a garage that did a diagnostic and i think a compression test [ i believe thats what it is referred to]and i was told that it had a solid well maintained engine. I dont drive it hard as i stated earlier. It...

I was wondering the last few times i have changed my oil [both in my 3.1 skylark as well in my girlfriends 3.1 skylark ] i have noticed what at first i thought were shavings from the engine. I took these small particles that were in the bottom of a very clean drain pan to my friend and as he...

Gentalman, They do says it is rated at 20 micron size but I still don't see their answer to harmful particles being 15 to 10 microns!!!!!! I was refering to posts that i have read on this board on more than one occation. I am not saying supertech are the best filters in the world i was just...

You said that "how can this be it probibly costs .75 to make " Your probibly a bit high on that estimation. I am a raw materials broker that procures large amounts of materials of all sorts to many differant company's. For example i can purchase in "bi ton units" weights for a company [this is...

I thought it was really great that they answered my question less than 24 hrs or so. the only thing i wish that they would have sent was some additional technical data but as i stated i switched to supertech and althoug i only have 2000 miles on this filter [actually its closser to 1600] i have...

I recently ran across a few negative comments about supertech filters after switching to that brand via advise from people on this board. I was confussed to read that a gentleman did a study on this board [many disageed with him though] and said to stay away from supertech, stp and bosch...

I just put in a bottle of grease lighting fuel system cleaner by the recomendation of my brother. I got to the counter and it was $10.00 and i thought is this really worth that much? how come its like 3x's the price of stp or gumout? plus after i put it in i went home and saw an advertisement...
