Anyone have a car where the oil never turns black? My car has 75,000 miles and I change the oil between 5,800 - 6,500 miles using Pennzoil Ultra. First two oil changes were PYB but all since have been Ultra. The oil will get slightly darker than what comes out of the bottle but still "gold" in...

A big thumbs up to Mobil and their rebates. I submitted my purchase on September 26th, a Saturday by the way and I received the check today October 9th. 13 days after submission I received the check. Rod

I had 3 other cars that I drove over 200,000 miles but my current car is the only one that is rear wheel drive. I never changed the rear differential fluid in my previous cars. My manual just says to inspect the fluid under normal conditions but under severe conditions it states it should be...

I had my dealership flush and fill my transmission fluid and they also used ZAK's transmission cleaner & fluid conditioner. What are the thoughts on ZAKs? When I had them flush and fill the radiator they also used ZAK's cleaner & fluid conditioner. I looked online but really didn't find...

I know someone who put 1/2 tank of diesel in a 2012 Nissan Sunny, car is in Trinidad. Similar to a Sentra. Got some help to drain 1/2 of tank and the car would start but would die after a while. A little white smoke would come from the tail pipe. Other than draining the rest of the diesel/gas...

I saw a big rig today with the trailer painted with Eco Ultra's information but I have never heard of this oil. Their website says it is a highly re-fined group II oil. They are a competitor to Nextgen. I tried searching but the search brought up a lot of Pennzoil Ultra...

I looked at the PDS and Valvoline Max Life is thinner at start-up and operating temp than Castrol Transmax. Both are OK for Hyundai SPIII. Valvoline Max Life Viscosity @ 100 = 6.11 Viscosity @ 40 = 28.18 Castrol Transmax Viscosity @ 100 = 8 Viscosity @ 40 = 36.6 This is going into a Hyundai...

What are the thoughts on adding Lubro-Moly MoS2 to Mobil Super 5000? I looked up Mobil Super 5000 at PQI and it shows Thought about adding 150mLs to 4 quarts in a car that holds 4.5 quarts. Car has about 180,000 miles. Thanks, Rod

Right now I am 2,000 miles into my first run of synthetic oil, Pennzoil Platinum in my 2003 Hyundai Sonata. The oil still looks brand new on the dipstick and hasn't used a drop. Most likely still is going to be a short OCI, 4,500. I picked up two jugs of 10W30 PP on clearance a while back so...

Obviously I am going to drain and put in fresh fluid but is there anything else I should do? Thanks, Rod

What is the oil capacity of 2004 Monte Carlo 3.8? I don't have access to the manual. Thanks, Rod

The two vehicles I currently has multiple grades listed in the manual. Just looked at one manual and it list 5w20, 5w30 & 10w30 as choices. It does state for better fuel economy use 5w20. I read BITOG frequently and see many post questioning what is the best viscosity to use and the answers are...

We have a 2003 Hyundai Sonata V6 with 177459 miles. I have always used 10W30 dyno oil but last change was with 10W40 (mistake purchasing it). Car runs great and uses about 0.5 quarts per 3,000 miles. Most oil changes were performed between 4,000 - 7,500 miles. Almost all of the miles are hwy...
