I saw it mentioned that the PP 0w20 and QSUD 0w20 were the same. The links below show that not to be the case. PP 0w20 (and 10w30) has much better NOACK vs their QSUD counterparts. QSUD: http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GPCDOC_X_cbe_24855_key_140003587113_201007020125.pdf PP...

I have some Ford approved QSUD 5w20. I noticed that QSUD 0w20 was also available at the same price, but that it isn't Ford approved. What might be the advantages and disadvantages of using the 0w20 instead of the 5w20? Is there any disadvantage in 100f+ running temps? Any advantage during 50f...

Who's already got their summer vacation locked and loaded?

Things went really well for me today. How about everyone else?

Just an observation that people are generally really easily manipulated by others. It's something I started noticing recently. It's almost as if you can predict what somebody's behavior will be in response to some very simple prompting actions. Thoughts?

How would you go about hiring a private detective? I don't want anyone to know, so I won't be asking for recommendations from people I know. So I need advice on how to choose.

If you had to own 1 car for the rest of your life what would it be if: a) There was never any question of maintenance / upkeep. So this is all about what would keep you happy and serve your needs. b) If this was a real decision and you had to factor in making it last forever.

Ok, so this is political correctness gone mad: Did you know that "gullible" has been taken out of the dictionary?

In one of my cars, when going over uneven road, it feels as if the right hand side of the car is reacting to the road very independently to the left hand side, and vice versa. Changing lane also produces this feeling. Is something wrong or is my butt dino just noticing the road feel too much?

Anything exciting planned for the weekend? I know some people will be on here talking about oil filters. But I'll be hosting lots of friends for bbq. I have a great recipe for beans that I'm sure will go down well (let's hope down and not out), and may smoke some fish for the first time. I've...

I was just comparing the specs for QSUD 5w30 and Synpower 5w30 and the spec that was most different was NOACK, 12.3% for QSUD and 10% for Synpower. Does this suggest anything about the base oil? The Synpower product sheet says "Synpower is a fully synthetic motor oil".

Just looked at PDS's for QSUD 10w30 and M1 0W40 and the 10W30 is thinner at 40c. Is this what everyone would expect to see?

We had a mini heatwave where the temp shot up to 90f for a couple of days. The AC on my Mercedes went really really noisy. Is this common?

I have a fleet of vehicles that do a lot of mileage and change the oil at manufacturer's recommended intervals. I am wondering whether to save a lot of money and switch to Amsoil. Other long life oils still recommend following manufacturer's recommendations. But if I am correct, Amsoil...

I have the opportunity to negotiate a big discount for a filter manufacturer to supply our entire fleet of several hundred high mileage company vehicles. They are virtually all makes and models. Which filter manufacturer would you recommend? Edit: This could cover all types of filters but oil...
