I just love that scene in Goodfellas.

Joe played quite a roll in that movie. Great movie!


Yes he did.

Not unfortunate at all!!!
He was making a relevant comparison in a thread.
I'll copy and paste a couple of Valvoline UOAs here if you'd like.
Both showed very low wear, with significant TBN depletion in one, and good TBN retention in the other.
Both showed zero lead.

i have to agree fdcg27, i think jonnydc's posting aided the forum conversation, and backed the point he was making.

All I can say about VALVOLINE oil is this. I was home helping my uncle change a valve cover gasket on his 229k 96' sentra with a 4cyl and 4 dr car. He has been using VWB and now NEXTGEN 5W30 in the car. He says the car doesnt burn, leak or use a drop of oil between oil changes. He goes to 6500 miles and changes the oil in the car. He says he will continue using NEXTGEN. I see no problems with VALVOLINE or PYB either.

Off subject. Beast3300, do you race them there 2 Buicks on a weekly basis?


Well, the 98 is in a scrap yard. I run them hard all year round but go to a drag strip as many times as I can over the summer months.

I gave the Grand Prix to my dad. It hasn't been to the track since I think 07.

Valvoline is one of the best oils out there and as for atf their max life is in a class all by itself i have only used that atf in both my qq 1979 Cadillacs and one of them has 333,005 miles on it i had it out today everything is original!

This car does not run good it runs perfect!
