Japanese brand, price is right, but these are from China and are possibly knockoffs.

Is this declaration supposed to end the discussion?

Supertech today, on the Walmart website, is about $6 less than the cheapest Mobil 1 5 qt container. I like Mobil 1 fine, but you are asking us to take on faith that it is made with "higher quality ingredients." Is that true? Who knows?

If your goal is to drive a vehicle 150,000 to 250,000 miles and you are willing to change oil on the manufacturer's recommendation, and you are using the oil that is in specification per your owner's manual, then yes, you will get there in the exact same way with Kirkland or HPL, or Quaker...

If you have an ounce in a quart, that is far too much. The float should be replaced or fixed and the oil should be replaced. The fuel dilution question related to modern DI engines is related to much smaller concentrations or fuel. Maybe 1, 2 or 3 percent by volume after, say, 7,000 miles...

Hang on here. This may be stating the obvious, but the Passport, Pilot, and MDX are closely related vehicles, built on the same platform. The MDX is the luxury choice, and probably the best one to buy to avoid Honda dealer Amv markups. They are all top, top choices capable of starship...

It’s from Monday. And it’s a fact that Chinese tools are hit or miss.

Would not mind meeting kschachn in the interest of promoting peace between the world's thickies and thinnies!

Disagree totally with your take on this movie. It was excellent. It did not have a great premise. State the premise and you’ll see how ludicrous it is. I’ll be watching it again.

The answer is to go to a 2000 mile oci

You are correct that you need a gas strategy for the apocalypse, but you also need plenty of oil.

Not sure you conquered with one post, but congrats regardless!

You have two posts on BITOG, and you have posed a syn v. Conventional question, covered the eternal thin v thick battle, and contemplated whether a psychological pathology drives your choices. You then go on to reveal a doomsday prepper’s stash of oil, which would have us apoplectic, were it...

There are no Civic 1.5 T Sports at McMurdo, or any other car directly comparable. With Yellowknife, the approach is to keep the engine block warm enough to ensure flow, as nothing flows at the lowest temperatures that place records, so 5W30 should do the trick.

I would be all over this if I were a "thickie." Wait, can I say that?

No you haven't. It is a misperception. The transmissions were killed before your fluid change. The logic isn't there.... you are suggesting that old, depleted, filthy trans fluid is better and more protective than new, clean fluid. The fact is that trans fluid has a long life, and is...

There is really no place in the world for conventional oils. You should be running a decent, budget-minded synthetic, like Quaker State, Supertech, Pennzoil etc, in one weight, year-round. I wish you well with that cool car.

Sorry about your mother. This idea that you shouldn't touch trans fluid is just wrong. New fluid is always better, and trans fluid is a wear item.

Why, does it have a lower specific heat?

Or maybe there is not even one lawnmower on the face of the earth that has been damaged by a slightly thinner oil. Possibilities and probabilities are very different things.
