WM Super-Tech oil and Castrol oil are SAE rated, so they're fine as long
as the specified SAE rated oil is selected.
Sources of WM Super-Tech oil vary, but currently on the East Coast,
Super-Tech oil is supplied by ExxonMobil. Prior to August
of this year, the oil was supplied by WPP. It's po

Just adding my *hopefully* friendly opinion here.
I don't believe it is all the same, but even the cheap stuff, as long as it is
SAE rated, is adequate provided that you CHANGE THE OIL at least every 5000
miles regardless of how long one will argue that the lubricative properties
will last. M
I'd have to agree with that. Myself, I use Castrol. Or if I don't have a lot
of money, then I'll go with Walmarts cheap stuff. Oil changes in my cars over
the years, have gone over the limits. But they still run. I have damaged a

Every 2.2 engine I have ever owned has killed a rod bearing.
I doesn't matter if I use forged rods or not.
The last engine I lost I blueprinted, ran ARP bolts and installed the HV oil

Checked your trouble codes? How old is your O2 sensor? Have you
replaced all of your vacuum lines yet? Have you checked them for

Hello all,
My car has multiple problems. I thought it was a vacuum leak problem
because I found the line going to the cruise control was corroded bad. I
replaced the hose and it didnt fix it.
It was idleing very poorly. Rpm dropping down to 400-500 then shooting
up to 1500 so it wouldnt die

It could be now as Walmart is always looking for companys to produce their
stuff the cheapest. I now I will not run any Penzoil oil in my car as it foams

my experience with synthetic oil is as follows: i recently picked up a

A friend of mine said he used Duralube in his 5speed Civic, and got an extra

He then heard a loud crunch sound when the gear end of his cam broke off and
crunched everything inside the engine.
I tried using Duralube from Day 1 in my new Neon. At about 50,000kms I got

If you Google for the Lucas stuff, you will find the answer. In short,

My Uncle was a Prolong junkie. He is in construction and used it in his
high mileage trucks. There were no ill effects, though the engines did
wear out anyway.
Hi Jason. I'm not to familiar with the products you mentioned but I
remember playing with a hand crank display that showed you how the "X" brand
could not reach the top but the display brand could - might have been Lucas,
I don't remember. Anyway, I would say that would be a bad thing for

Alright, while we are on the subject of lubricants, I might as well ask
some general opinions on some related products.
First off is Lucas Oil Treatment. We've all been sitting at the parts

Wow, am I hearing a consensus?
This debate has probably worn out keyboards on this mailing list and
countless others. Use whatever oil you want, just change it
frequently. Sorry about going off topic.
More on marketing...BMW's (not that I have one) require the use of a

Dave might be right on this. I have no reason not to beleive him.
The whole thing should bolt on BUT I would stick with the more
