Just arrived from fruit shopping from an Asian supermart...after a K-Mart inspection of clearance oil. It's a Filipino custom(a variation taken from the Chinese)done every 12/31 of each year. One fruit, different per month(has to be round)signifies 30 days for each month of the Roman...

I spotted this rare Castrol Syntec Blend from my K-Mart today. CI-4 and still has the SL tag(remaining SB rated)..and is going fast at $2.74/qt(also other SB wts). It's cheaper than Wally's pricing of Castrol SBs at $3.01/qt. I noticed that this K-World stopped selling any Valvoline stuff...

This 5qt GC only ran for 4,912mi in my Passat 1.8T, taken out via an oil boy extractor. It saw 50/50 hwy/fwy for 8mos(Apr-Dec)using the huge Mannolator diesel filter L40316 and thinking of running it in my hi-mile 190E for 5k, using a new cartridge Purolator filter. This was my first post...

Edmunds Test Drive: Rio 5 My wife is considering this Euro-looking Renault-ish Rio 5 as her next car. Seems a pretty decent car for the price..one of Edmunds Top Ten Most Economical '06 Cars. I and wifey won't mind driving this Kia..and this budget 5dr subcompact has 6 air bags...standard.

I've been looking into both thin oils to dilute some SL EP 15w50.. If both are available on the shelf, which would you choose? Performance and additive/base stock-wise, which has the edge? I tried searching for M1 SM 5w20 VOA but can't find any..only the classic M1 0w20. Thanks.

AZ lady mistakenly charged me 1qt less of The Green. Just found out when I arrived home and checked the receipt..shows 8 charged(got 9 in the bag). Plus the freebie Hotwheels..on top of the $20 gift cert applied to the score.

Hahah! After much contemplation as to what oil to run for my just concluded 50k oci for my 1.8T...from wanting to try the Mobil varieties(EP 10w40, 0w40, T&S 5w40) to Motul 0w40 or GC 0w30... I eventually ended up using...yep, 5qts of good ol' green GC from my stash of 27! Though it gives...

If all were offered for the same price...which oil would you go for? I plan to run M1 for my 50k mi VAG 1.8T...Btw, Kragens sells all above oils for $3.99 w/ coupon. M1 EP oils are confirmed by my Kragens counter dude as included in the sale.

Last night I went crusing the Wally's oil aisle to check the quart Rotella 5w40s discussed in some threads... True enough, I saw the shelf with the qt sign price...but it was swiped clean , priced at $3.39. Then the gallons went up in price(again), it is now $13.34! Among the Wally oils, this...

GC 0w30? Or is it the other way around? Both are "ester-ized" btw. It'll be for my 1.8T Passat. Will the Grand Elf of the Green object to such sacrilege?

So which would you prefer? Which would best run year round in this engine? Both have identical approvals recommended for the 1.8T(vw 502.00, ACEA A3, SL).

Hi all! I'd like to try Schaeffers #700 Supreme 15w40 for my Passat 1.8T. The engine specifies 5w40 vw 502.00 synthetic but I wanted the extra cleaning abilities of hdeos, as found in the #700. Btw, this is one of a few hdeos though synth blend, has the 502 approval required for my...

To anyone in the know, does this kind of oil exist? How about a VW 502.00 PCMO synthetic with the most robust additive pack? I'm using HDEO Rotella T 5w40 now for the Auto-Rx rinse as a two pronged approach to my sludge prone 1.8T. Somehow, the engine is now quieter with this oil as compared to...
