    First time seeing these at my local Walmart. Hope they keep em stocked!

    There are Walmarts about 30 miles closer to Chicago that stock PUP. Then a few that don’t and then a pocket of stores that do. Is PUP not DEXOS?

    I got $29.44 on Amazon. Saw that Walmart online price the same. My Walmart does not stock PUP.

    Current consensus on PUP?

    Just bought PUP first time. No DEXOS label on jug. My Mazda doesn’t care.

    Motor hasn’t run in six 6 years

    I’m rebuilding the carb. Hopefully Stabil kept gas from spoiling. I’ve had good luck so far with a couple small engines.

    71 Chevelle. 350 rebuilt 30 years ago. Always ran but leaked gas so we pushed it to its current spot in the garage out of the elements.

    Motor hasn’t run in six 6 years

    Gasoline mixed with oil is coming out. Any harm in using 15W-50? I’m not much of a thicky and I bought this out of curiosity. Also, the cheapest. Can buy at Walmart under $25 for 5 qt jug. Mobil 1’s high ZDDP oil.

    Motor hasn’t run in six 6 years

    Chevy 350 hasn’t run in 6 years. We will squirt Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders. I have Mobil 1 15W-50 and 10W-30 ZDDP oil in several varieties. Before we hand turn the crank we will prime the oil pump until we see oil in the pushrods. Does it make any difference which one we use?

    What are you working on today?

    Swapping the Weather Tech mats for original carpet mats. Snow blower and shovels put away and I have mowed twice.

    Which oil for breaking in 2024 F250 7.3?

    Did it not come with oil or was there something wrong with the oil it came with? I would think the best break-in oil came with the truck.

    Post your latest oil change

    Yesterday both cars. Saturn Valvoline EP Maxlife 5W-30, Wix 51522 again. First filter I noticed Made in Mexico. Looked about the same except for overspray. Mazda Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20, Wix 57002. First time Pennzoil in this car. Got Ultra at Amazon under $30. First time Wix filter too...

    Does Pennzoil have a racing/high ZDDP oil?

    I only recently discovered that Mobil 1 had a high ZDDP 15W-50 by looking at the chart on their website. I asked about Pennzoil in case I missed it on their website. I don’t run an oil temp gauge but I have to think oil gets very hot cruising at 3500 RPM on hot summer days. Overdrive is coming...

    Does Pennzoil have a racing/high ZDDP oil?

    OK. Sounds like they don’t. Thanks for the response.

    Does Pennzoil have a racing/high ZDDP oil?

    Does Pennzoil have a racing oil or high ZDDP oil we can buy in the USA? Something like VR1 or Mobil 1 15W-50, Penn Grade 1, etc.

    Is buying Oil on Amazon safe?

    Mostly good. Don’t think I ever got anything fake. Got several cases of Driven for $30-35 each. Explain that. Got a 6-pack of VR1 with two quarts missing but that was replaced. A case of Schaefer’s must have been damaged and leaking before it arrived and got cancelled. I got a replacement for...

    What oil and filter for 2017 5.3L Sierra?

    I just got 2 jugs of PUP 0W-20 at Amazon under $30 each. They price match Walmart when they have them in stock. I used to buy AC Delco oil filters until they got cheap looking about 5 or more years ago. Do GM dealers use the same oil filter you buy at Walmart or is there another one?
