RE: Oil question
I buy the Purolator filter because his site (I believe) used to say it was, pretty much, the best bang for the buck. Besides, the blue filters are sexy.

Indy you are the man. I didn't want to go that far into it but I guess I should of. Ok guy's everyone here knows that anyone and everyone will try to sell you whatever they can. The fact is Mobil 1 is by far my favorite, and with my own findings as well as one of my family members working in Mobil 1 laboratory that tests these oils against theirs and they always kick the competitions ***. Now I trust my Father-In-Law 100% on his findings and have read the reports. Now no one can build an oil specially for your type driving and your truck or car but they try to come as close as possible. The only way you are going to find any type of information is to do the study's yourself and not just trust what the bottle or their web site say's. That's right boy's! You need to test your oil.
Now I don't want to rain down on anyone's parade but a fact is a fact! I know that Fram isn't the best but it works for me. I will be switching out for sure after reading the reports.
This brings me to another point. All these oil additives are crap and are not regulated by the Fed's. The manufactures of these type's of products can put whatever they want into these products and sell it to you. I never put these additives in my truck and suggest that you never do either.

RE: Oil question
Thanks Hydra.
I just try to be a good online citizen with honest and truthful advise based around my own experiences. If I don't know, I won't say anything, otherwise I'll try to help when I can. I do the same in my business and the best usually works out from there.
Oh yea... and look to have some fun every once in a while too!
