    OPE engine oils?

    If comparing oils for air cooled OPE's over wide temperature use and striving for the lowest wear would oils like Amsoil ACD, Rotella T5, Mobil 1(EP), work equally in most applications? Is there really any point in synthetics for yearly oci's with/without filtration?

    All "Green" Coolants created equally?

    Currently I'm using JD Cool-Gard and need to do a t-stat change on my 05 Colorado. I have to travel to get the JD coolant and it's $16gal, so I think I'll use a plain ethylene glycol this time. Any recommendations on brand? BTW, I switched to coolgard 4yrs ago after dumping the dexcool.

    05 Chevy Colorado T-Stat change?

    Anyone changed a stat on these trucks? Have to remove the drivers side tire and splash guard, it's a side access with the I5 engine. The housing/stat is one piece. I'm getting a P0128 code on cool days with the temp coming up slowly. I'll get heat only after 6-8 miles. Cooling system is full...

    JD 50 Plus II or Rotella 10w30

    Would either brand 10w30 be suitable for year-round use in my Kubota diesel Z mower? I generally use 15w40(summer) and 10w30(winter), but both these oil voa's and add-packs look great even when used in hot climates. http://kubota.com/service/LubricantMaintenance.aspx

    PCMO with Ti

    Hey I like to try different oils just like anyone else so I jumped on the Ti bandwagon and bought some Edge w/Ti. Some of the sequence III and IV tests suggest what Ti reduces wear over similar oils. Kendall also makes this claim. If it does that's cool, I like switching up oils to reduce some...
