- Hi listers, Just a quick question to all the wise fans out there. My U20 has exibited signs of worn valve seals since I purchased the car many years ago. Due to the fact that it shows good compressio

- As a one-time AmsOil dealer I can tell you that AmsOil will clean your engine right out, including the crud in the ring lands. I am not sure you want that type of performance from your engine oil at

- It seems that many roadster people are partial to Redline. I understand (or at least have heard) that a) you break in a new engine w/ regular oil, then switch to a synthetic, and b) don't switch a hi

- I use Castrol in everything. I like the smell and the white bottle with orange graphics. They also sponsor John Force. There is little or no benefit for using super high price oil. The important thin

- Ditto. Castrol GTX in everything except my chipper which specified single-weight oil ONLY, and my wife's (POS) Honda, which she is responsible for having serviced. I switched to Castrol GTX in the mi

- Back in the '70's, I used Penzoil until I tore down several engines and found a ton of deposits at various levels of hardening. Kinda scarey when people you don't know look at your parts and say "Ahh

- As far as I can tell from reading various articles, any oil from a major vendor will work fine (your viscosity needs may of course differ) if it meets the current API standards - currently SJ. The st

- One caution find a brand, and stay with it. If they go out of business, change brands only once. I've seen several engines now that were owned by very conscientious people who used whichever name bra
