    FYI Motorcraft Synthetic 5W-40 Engine Oil

    Patrick, A couple points I would like to make. One is your engine oil will not have much to do with your injectors going out. Extended OCI will not have any affect on the injectors either. The fact that you have an FS-2500 is good for your engine and the longevity of the engine. If your...

    Trans Questions

    I disagree with DaveBen its not to old to use synthetic. It will actually run cooler and smoother with a synthetic. These transmissions are built for hundreds of thousands of miles with routine maintanence. If you don't use a machine to flush the tranny you will be fine. A static flush will help...

    Announcement New CJ-4 Oils Now Available From Amsoil

    Yes I asked. Amsoil will not certify for a few reasons. The group IV synthetic oil certification restrictions are much tighter than a group III base stock synthetic. First and formost when you certify a group IV base stock synthetic oil you may not ever change suppliers of that base stock or you...

    Announcement New CJ-4 Oils Now Available From Amsoil

    I know that Amsoil is not the end all of oils and isn't for everybody and I am comfortable with that. I am not dumb enough to think that it needs to be in every car & truck because there are certain situations that don't fit the demographic for using synthetic period. Not trying to start a...

    Announcement New CJ-4 Oils Now Available From Amsoil

    Yes I guess if thats the way you look at it. Same oil that exceeds the low API standards because they (Amsoil) have and hold themselves to a higher standard and back it with a warranty which gives you not only a warranty from your OEM if its still in effect but a warranty from the Oil...

    I need some advice

    Get him on synthetic oils in the mean time so he can extend the life of the engine and increase fuel mileage a little bit 2-5% slightly more if he changes the entire drive train. :sweet Remember 5% on a truck that is getting 16 mpg right now is .80 mpg. People think its huge and some claim...

    Question rotella 5-40 synthetic for 100 degree tx summer?

    Yes what Dave said you still have a 40 weight oil when running at temprature. You should be more than good running it 7500 miles. UOA will tell you how long you can go on the oil if you want to figure it out by using a lab to tell you instead of guessing. You are throwing money out the...

    rottela t oil

    There is some truth in that Rotella foams a little more than many but that doesn't mean its a bad oil for short runs 3-5k miles. The bad thing about foamy oil is it loses the film that protects the parts from going metal to metal. It is said that due to foaming in certain oils its a contributing...

    Question Oil Shelf Life?

    Yes it will be safe to use. Oil shelf life is a long time without too much degradation. 5 years would be the shelf life for a conventional oil and synthetic would be slightly longer. If it was me though I would start with what you have there in the picture on your next oil change and then...

    Oil Question

    It can be and the reason why is this. All synthetics are a base stock with an additive package. What seperates the brands are the additive package. When you add one individual additive it effects another. Brand V may put an extra shot (so to speak) of the additive that fights shearing, by doing...

    Oil Question

    Bot, Yes it is possible. I actually have two customers that run Nissan Titans. They tried the SSO 0W-30 Signature Oil and they burned one qt between oil changes. They went back to the ASL 5W-30 and they say they are not buring the oil anymore. Dane
