Synthetic Oil

[Burla]

Yeah but the personal danger aspect is gone
Booooo! lol

We got B.I.R. track up here. It's a wild party in the woods.

well that day a fiber piece from the car blew off the car into the top of the grandstands, lol. Yeah probably not the dangerous, but I think the potential is there. If you want danger watch nascar, those fools still cant figure out the new tire. Nascar is deathly afraid one of these days a tire is going into the stands.

5W30 vs 10W30 2004 HEMI 5.7 V8

I came across this answer in reflection to oil choice based on the climate.
I'm not sure what he is saying.. 10W30 is better for hotter climates because it is thinner or is 5W30 better..
So far running 5W30 seems good enough, but of 10W30 has an edge where it will be better, then I'm all for it.

10W-30 has less VII additive to shear down into deposits, but less cold start pumpability.

No Rain? https://www.weatherandradar.com/wea...of-rain--a13b8d94-30e9-4043-808c-a4e0089fb7c5
Usually, we do get rain once or twice a year and the city spends quite a bit on desalination and usage of sewage treatment. The treated water is used to help the trees planted on the streets.
A number of trees over here grow with minimal effort.

10W-30 has less VII additive to shear down into deposits, but less cold start pumpability.

So as I understand it, 10W30 will take longer to get through the whole engine on a cold start, but will lubricate the same or better than a 5W30. Am I right?

Back to see how you fart smellers are
doin! So how ya doin?

Anyway.
Wanted to share this with you. Oil that I ordered came today and I really wanted to get the oil changed before driving a long ways tomorrow.

Was about the time for my son to take a shower before we put him to bed and I said “I’m gonna go change my oil real quick”. The wife said “he’s only gonna take 20 minutes. There’s no way you can change your oil in 20 minutes.”



Guess what BRODOZERS!! 19min!!! Wife LOVED it when I rubbed it in her face.lol

That’s from the time I ran out to the garage to get everything going to the time I step back in the door and all my tools and everything were put away. No cheating either. I waited for the used oil to drip from the pan. I shook all 8 single quart containers very well. Started the truck and let it run for a minute or so as well.

Here’s the problem….. and I’m guessing some of you already figured it out.

I can now no longer make it take an hour to do an oil change in the garage….

 

[Burla]

You rubbed it in her face? Dude this is a family show common now.

But I say fail, you took the challenge but you didn't bet? So all you got was pride points. Me thinks your wife won that one, lol.

Don't pick on him. He runs a 6.4L, so he's tight with me.

So your bro's? What's his favorite bike? Rhymes with Burla.

Good story in a world full of isht stories, Buell bikes made in USA's very own Michigan pulled a Phoenix and has risen from the ashes. Something really special here, a glimmer of hope?

And they're gonna be gas? SHHh keep that secret. V Twin as well?

So when you search for redline on Amazon, pricing is all over the board. Now the lower priced popular items such as 5w30 all have impressive sales numbers, but every single "over" priced option shows no sales data. I think there is a tipping point, there comes a point where no matter how good it is people aren't gonna pay 193 a case for their oil. Gear oil seams to not matter, 25 a quart sales all day, but there seams to be an obvious tipping point, the market isn't supporting 20 dollar a quart oil. We will see how this shakes out I'm sure.

 

[knightjp]

How many quarts in a case?

 

[White six four]

I put the redline 5w30 in my 6.4 still as smooth as the 0w30 I had in during the winter. Went a little over my 5k since I got sent 9 hours away for work and lucky me we picked up another job in that area that was another hour and a half away. So I had to bounce back and forth a few days. Went 5,4xx miles on the last oil change and the oil life monitor still showed 43%

Changed oil in the 15 suburban also, but just used 5w30 pup like I have been. Can't beat walmarts prices on it. Order online and get 3-5 gallon jugs for $83.91 15 quarts at $5.59 a quart. Free shipping also. For any gm guys I know it calls for 0w20. I don't care. I know pup 5w30 isn't dexos approved. I don't care.

How many quarts in a case?

I'm not sure if I got a "case" or a "carton", but the Red Line 5w-30 I bought through Amazon was 6 quarts that came in a Red Line sealed and taped box. I also bought a 2-pack to have 8 quarts on hand.

Looks like Amazon just calls it a 6 pack...

"Driving on oil". Now Ford is saying they will produce gas cars after 2030 and breaking there promise as Mercedes and other car companies started doing. (Maybe just here in Europe)

It use to be 12, a least last time I bought

Probably still is.
When I see the word "case" being used I automatically think of more items than the 6 I bought. Your 12 sounds more like a "case" quantity.
Admittedly even Amazon used the term "6 pack" instead of case or even carton.

Of course, in common with all things motorist, petrol stations feel most suited towards the single male driver. What happens if instead of defaulting to designing for the average customer, we consider customers who haven’t been thought about as much in the past?

LMAO, tranny bathrooms will make EV's popular? EV stations, the new forced place to congregate and make new friends. Gotta sell it somehow I guess, after all you will have people waiting 30 minutes to super charge your EV, God forbid you have a line there? LMFAA Gas lines here are 4 deep all day long at our local Costco, what happens when you hit an EV line? My mom was a single women most of my life, I'm pretty sure she appreciated the ability to fuel up at those bad "petrol" stations. Anyhow, this pr pieces aren't really for people with common sense, anyone with a PR degree understands what this is.
