castrol 5w30w purolator oil filter l14760

Yes i normaly run valvoline and purolator filter( over 30 years) that day the autoparts was out of my normal valvoline white bottle 10w30w, i had heard go stuff about german castrol so I took the plunge plus all that stuff about 5w oil, probably goto valvoline semi 5w30w next...

Well its been a little time now, it starts up slightly faster, the ticking a cold start less,Jeeps suffer from this. runs smoother, seat of pants feel. I am hoping thsi will help conserve a little fuel and wear and tear, we will see when I send in for oil analaisys.

the 5w20w is for federal miliage standards, i personaly would not run thiner the 5w30w, i am not sure if penta star is all aluminum or iron block and aluminum heads, on iron block thinnest i would run is 5w, no 0w. i am running 5w30w on my iron head and block 4cyl now, wouldnt go any lower.

hello german brand castrol 5w30w and lubromoly, big users on bmw forums..................:)

what color is oil other then brown or black?? if is tan colored then it may be contaminated? oil does not normally foam( aka bubbles) unless overfill or contaminent? (aka coolant) have someone check it, better be safe the sorry.

hi all the key to the rtv is how it is applied, in a thin consistent bead, let dry at least 15-20 min to form skin, torque down and do not retighten. also is cleanliness of surface. I use it on all gasket except head, of course and trans, for that i found compisite rubber/steel reuasble for my...
