Thanks Samilcar! Tinman - Blame the Spellchecker.

OK so looks like the 5w20 is ok. it was more of comparing the two and which is better. wouldn't the 0w30 flow faster since it's thinner at start-up? my daily commute is 10-15 mins each way, 5 miles. Weekends, i try to open up on the highway a bit to burn off any moisture and get the oil running...

Was at walmart.. was debating which to use - Penzoil Platnium Ultra 5w20 or Mobile 0w30. I drive a Honda Accord, with 114,000 miles. The last 75k miles were oil changes using either Penzoil Platnium 5w30, Mobil 1 5w30 or Castrol GTX 5w30. I went with the Ultra 5w20 - should i have gone with a...

Sorry, been awol for a few days - Oil change is happening today: Options: Mobile 1 - 5w30 (summers here in DC get pretty hot) PP - 5w20 PP - 5w30 Pennzoil ultra - 5w30 or should i go with 5w20 I'd like to just try a diff line of oil for the summer, hence the ultra (if i can find it) last min...

About to do an oil change.. been using Pennzoil platinum.. wanted to mix it up a bit and use a diff type of oil. I've used Mobile 1, but my car just rolled 100k miles, no leaks. I've got a Pure One filter ready, just trying to decide on the oil. I've read some other mobile oil types can help...

I had a 1993 Beretta GT with a 3.1 v6, that thing had a great engine. only issue i had was the oil seal from the sending unit and the transmission starting to act up. used castrol syntec blend with purlator one filter. Used 10w30 in the winter, 20w50 in the summer. 150 miles, first major...

Sorry, had to post this. it's slightly off topic, but it still talks about the oil pipes that were shut down in Alaska - possible cause? SLUDGE! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14233534/from/RS.2/ Last time the pipes were cleaned out was 1992. I forsee a LARGE Auto-RX order coming up! Below...

now you guys just confused me some more. GTX or no?

i've only had the car for 15k miles, and used mobil 1 synthetic. it's soon due for a rinse phase. i've never used dino oil, so i don't know what my car likes yet. I'll probably go with castrol dino, since that's what i used in my beretta gt. 150k miles, not a single thing wrong with the...

Will be starting a rinse phase soon (Auto RX). Which oil would you prefer, and why? Already using a wix filter. Probably will throw in a purlator one oil filter or use another wix filter. But which oil would you prefer and why? I'll probably use 10w30 since the summer in MD can get pretty hot...

do these fit with a 2003 honda accord 2.4l engine? If yes, where can i see documentation fitting this? Thanks

how would this stuff fare in an 2003 honda accord 2.4 4 cylinder engine? Gonna start looking for it now if i can find some. Thanks! -B

Reading about how people like the German Castrol oil - where can i find it? I'm in Maryland and checking 2 shops, they didnt have it. Napa and Pep Boys. Thanks! p.s. Does GC come in other weights other than 0w30?

i managed to get a couple of pics of what i'm referring to. What do you guys make of it? http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n317/bfgun/2.gif http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n317/bfgun/1.gif Thanks!

OK, there's discussion between dino and synthetic oil, but what about synthetic blend? This makes me wonder - with my old car - Chevy Beretta GT with a V6 engine, i used Castrol Synthetic blend. The question i have is this: is it a 50/50 mix or is it maybe 30% dino, 70% synthetic oil? Anyone?
