    Trouble with peanuts

    I'm not a big fan of peanuts. Usually, I eat a variety of mixed nuts. Brazil nuts, cashews, hazel, etc., but it does bother me later. Maybe it's just a nut thing and not peanut specific?? Test Brazil nuts or cashews if you like them and you may find the same thing or worse.

    Quaker State Winter Synthetic Blend

    GM and Toyota are big players and still haven't sanctioned it for warranty. I'm sure thats probably a part of the reason for this oil.

    Hello......from Iraq

    Last_Z, we want you back home safe and soon. Emphasis on safe. If there is anyway we can help let us know. If you need something sent from the States that's legal, we'll get it. During "Desert Storm" we sent stuff and my boss didn't like it. He has the concept that Uncle Sam gives you...

    M1 Extended Performance filters

    I just ran by AZ to pickup a filter. All M1 filters were the Extended Protection in the new box. All were EP variety and full stock. $9.99 USD.

    When people are initially most dissapointed with extended OCI's...............

    I see engine design as a major issue. It may depend a lot on the specific vehicle a person owns. I generally think Too Slick's formula is a good starting point, but doesn't take design flaws into consideration. Several vehicles out there that should run synthetic only and not extend drains...

    Valvoline Sales Down

    APAC did a lot of road work around here. Looks like declining profits there are a big factor. Doesn't look like they have a big following in the bulk and quicky lube type markets from what I see. Exxon/Mobil and Sopus seem to have a lock on Industrial products in many areas. Probably many...

    Castrol GTX 5w20 and Toyota 4cyl.

    I think all American and Japanes manufacturer's desire getting CAFE credits. Whether they need them or not, they can be sold and transfered. Either GM and Toyota haven't completed their testing yet or have and decided it's not a good idea yet with their current designs. Until Toyota specs...

    10W30. What does minimum means

    If this engine uses VVT, then viscosity might be an issue.

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Typical Internet stuff. Neither HK nor the printer/publisher would have ever done this. Another good hoax.

    5W-30 oil for a 1 year OCI.

    With the 3.1L V-6, I'd probably want to do a uoa before going extended drain intervals. I do use synthetics, but on the GM V-6's, I do an occassional uoa just to check for any potential coolant leaks. This really just expands on the last sentence in Don's post. [ September 23, 2005, 03:26...

    Aches and pains? Its the motor oil!!!

    I never knew any automotive techs or mechanics with RA, but knew a lot of other folks with severe cases. Studying men can be tricky if you don't include their military or athletic backgrounds and other factors. A lot of old folks used to swear by WD-40 for helping knee joint pain.

    Let's talk beer!

    I always believe the uv/sunlight would ruin it. I don't understand clear bottle packaging either.
