What oil and plugs in your Hoe?

there was a sale at my local o'reilly. they just started carrying their full syn o'reilly blend, it is made by shell. I got 5qts and a mobil 1 filter for $17.99!!! with the extra qt of oil and some shop towels, the total was only $27 for a full syn oil change and killa filta . . . beat that midas!

I use Mobil 1 5W-30 and the Mobil 1 filter. Best part is you can usually find Mobil 1 on sale and basically get the Mobil oil filter for free when you buy 5 qts. of oil. A good quality oil change is sure cheaper than a new engine so I'll keep "wasting" my money and buying the good stuff.

The same company that makes the AC/Delco filters may make the Supertech filters but that doesn't mean they're the same. The same company that makes the Delco filters make the Mobil1/K&N filters but I assure you they sure aren't the same filter. AC/Delco actually just released a new design of some of the filters that are supposed to be better.

Hoe? Unless she demands cash every time you visit, that doesn't seem very respectful.

It's hard to find solid information on oil. Some of the best discussion I've found on the Internet is at bobistheoilguy.com.

haha easy there bud.. i use Royal purple 5W30 and i have ticking noise from time to time. thats why im wondering. i highly doubt Mobil is better than RP but who knows

RP gets its 'better power: dyno proven' status from being on the very low edge of the viscocity tolerance (for any given range)

Ie a 5w30 is probably closer to a 5w25... thus it does read higher on a dyno.


A/C Delco is a rebrand 91rs, and their 'redesign' is for cheaper per item cost, not better build quality or more ruggedness.
