Non detergent Accel SAE30 API SA, that I purchased from Walmart in 2012 probably, still mostly full I think I had it in an little oil can mixed with thinner to drip on bike chains, I guess I'll use it to oil foam filters that's about all it's good for, for bearings now I only use API SB motor...

Changed the oil on my neighbors mower, I checked it for here and the level was fine from when I changed it last year but the oil in it was leaving metallic streaks on the paper towel so I changed it, maybe it's still wearing in, I picked it up off the curb in 2022, it may have only been used a...

I don't even remember if they did one last year, the year before it started all the way in July.

Meijer slimmed down to just Extra Gaurds in common applications no more TG or Ultras, replaced them with Purloator.

All Supertech oil has additives unless you buy that non-detergent straight 30 grade, they likely use one of the same generic off the shelf add packages from a major chemical company that other generic blenders use.

or you know, maybe it's a 350 so it's old and has I'm guessing, had a lot of use on it and it just wore out.

My dad's 2002 Trailblazer wouldn't stay in forward gear after 240k miles, My mom's 2008 Odyssey went through a transmission at about 140 or 150k. My half brother's dad smoked an engine in an 02' Malibu because he never checked the oil.

I found this in a collection of memes I made I don't remember if I made this for a random thread here or what.

Walmart sometimes uses smaller carriers in addition to USPS/FedEx I haven't seen them do it as much since they started doing the deliveries from the store using doordash but they must still do it when stuff ships from a regional warehouse in some areas.

Bought a quart of compressor oil so I now have a couple lifetimes worth of oil to relube sintered bearings, I know you should use SAE20 or SAE30 (ISO 68 or 100) to relube them, I had used SAE30 motor oil before but I'm not sure that's a great idea since some of the detergents/dispersants may...

What's weird is it says 13.3 cents per fl ounce on the regular priced one and then when it's cheap it says 24.47/ea so I'm not sure what you'll get, if you'll get the actual case from the warehouse or if you'll get one jug from the store

Didn't get any pics but I took apart the cheapo Lasko box fan I keep on all the time in my bedroom, because it started chirping I usually keep a 2 or 4in pleated filter behind it so the motor was really dust free, the bearings just needed a little oil since I bought it in 2018 and it's been...

Picked this bad boy up from Goodwill for $2.99 yesterday, still trying to troubleshoot why the y axis is so wonky on the trackball , but it does have wonderrfully clicky keyswitches, Chicony KB-5591, trackball is serial, I've used it on some modern machines I have a Targus USB 2.0 dock thing...

Probably not anywhere that would make it a good deal vs Walmart or Amazon, Chevron's rebates are always stupidly restrictive, at one point they at least had Amazon but not anymore, unless you live within the distance of any of the handful of approved retailers, it's not even worth looking at.

So are they getting rid of it again, they like introduced it at the end of 2020, and then didn't have any space for it on the planagram so they clearanced it off, I've used it in my 4.2L 2008 Trailblazer last year, I still have a few jugs and some individual quarts, I paid $7 for the jugs and...

The API is not really driven by the government, infact the API is largely a lobbying group that does anything to oppose government regulation, the API/ILSAC in terms of oil specifications is a consortium of automotive manufacturers that make standards based on the auto makers needs, the auto...

The API I said there would be no dual rating, you can't dual rate 10W-30 unless it complies with the resource conserving limit which is 800ppm of phos. What I've seen of Rotella is they usually have around 1100ppm of phos in their formulations except the multi-vehicle and Natural Gas versions.

It would not be, All ILSAC grades are required to meat the RC limits for phosphorus if they claim the dual-rating. But the 15W40 should have pretty much the same ad package on a healthy motor it won't make much of a difference ,probably wouldn't toss it in an oil burner that you don't want to...

East Penn pretty much only does the Northeast and maybe a little further down on the east coast, I think most of Walmart in the Central US is supplied by Clarios, California these days is usually Hyundai or Atlas-Hankook
