First economics and what was available at price set the stage . As a recap I had a special TACO with 249,000 miles & the only way to stop it was an accident . It was a sad time but worse was replacing that Gem was hard to find . My Taco was a special find , high Miles at $10,900 but looked...

If MPG start's to get worse after 4000 that indicates wear additives are starting to breakdown . I wont be pushing it any more Now that fresh oil is in MPG is back to Sip mode . Lucas synthetic oil treatment is a nice product but adds $12 buck more to an oil change , less QT of oil savings 4...

My over all view of the 0w30 if your auto calls for a - 5 / 10 w 30 you can use 0w30 & particular cold north territory will benefit if 0w price was same price of 5w I'd use it all year but I see no need to spend $6 more for a synthetic 0w in summer when a 5w synthetic works as well for...

Well a warm spell and just about 60 compared to last weeks below zero . 0W30 is fast becoming the only oil ill ever use , smooth as silk I gotta say Holy Crap is the 4.0 smooth
