Synthetic Oil

[1979PowerWagon360]

Napa it could be on shelf or they will order it for ya. By far the best service I've had from parts store. But if you see the price, you might opt for something else.

walmart online always top choice, there is like 2 or 3 items I buy from them a year that nobody can touch, mostly fertilizer, but you can get pup there.

I'm the same. Walmart online for several items. Trick is getting them delivered not crushed, but can't beat some prices.

yeah crushed and in many lots, lol. My guess, they ship directly from store shelves. My last order came in 3 separate orders from 3 places, just some fruit stakes. Pricing was just crazy, it was like triple the cost at amazon, so I put up with the quirks, but I do like amazon much better.

Yeah I could get it from Wallyworld or a parts store or even eBay but not for $15 a jug. Well at least I got the rebate if nothing else since I filed for that when I ordered the first batch. Apparently Amsoil has jacked their prices up too. SS looks like it’s went up about 20% since the last time I bought some. I guess I’ll go back to Mobil 1 since it’s for the F150 and it’s not picky about oil anyway.

My Wally World oil orders come direct from the warehouse. Midwest region no longer.stocks PUP in stores. Ok by me - I detest Walmartian outlets. Usually come via United Package Smashers instead of Fedup Distress, so at least it shows up.
One time an order for something else ended up in South Dakota with FedEx.

Just did my Oct Amsoil SS 5w20 change with Fram XG10060.

Got some new Falken Wildpeak AT/3's also.

I'm ready for winter.

thanks again for that, very helpful. you next uoa can answer some questions, especially the copper level.

The weather was pretty nice yesterday so I rotated my tires and made the switch to Redline 5W30 (from PUP 0W40) to get the truck ready for winter. My motor has always been quiet so I expect more of the same.

The 3.6 is a pretty damn impressive motor. This guy used nothing but Valvoline/M1 every 8k or so. Look how clean the inside of that motor is

I used Fluid Film for a couple of years but use Krown now. These kinds of coatings really work.

Our 2013 Jeep (with over 100,000 miles) is 9 years old going on 10 and has been driven through every winter everyday. It is still rust free.

Here we go, the development of 0w8 oil by sae, lol. I wonder if the sae been watching this thread because we had the anti friction properties of moly nailed down for more then a decade. Kinda funny though, they want to increase CA meaning it wont be di friendly. So they develop an engine that increases fuel efficiency by 20% and then develop an oil that increases efficiency by .8% but you cant use it in the former? DI turbo's are the real deal, they will give you mpg if you are matching power numbers, as in 400hp di versus hemi. However, of note the ram v6 is best in class fuel mileage, and gets a whopping 19mpg?

Further fuel economy improvement of the internal combustion engine is indispensable for CO2 reduction in order to cope with serious global environmental problems. Although lowering the viscosity of engine oil is an effective way to improve fuel economy, it may reduce the wear resistance. Therefore, it is important to achieve both improved fuel economy and reliability. We have developed new 0W- 8 engine oil of ultra-low viscosity and achieved an improvement in fuel economy by 0.8% compared to the commercial 0W-16 engine oil. For this new oil, we reduced the friction coefficient under boundary lubrication regime by applying an oil film former and calcium borate detergent. The film former increased the oil film thickness without increasing the oil viscosity. The calcium borate detergent enhanced the friction reduction effect of molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC). By applying these technologies, an engine oil was developed which successfully achieved desired fuel efficiency and reliability. The developed oil also met the new JASO GLV-1 specification.

The JASO GLV-1 specification is a Japanese invention on fuel mileage, and guess what their secret is? You guessed it low visc but high moly.

I've made a few of those from a copper plumbing stub, a piece of dowel and an o-ring. It's tricky sizing the correct o-ring and you really need to use char cloth as the tinder for reliable ignition.

 

[Burla]

don't throw away those old jeans, make char cloth out of them.

Maybe we should try water with moly?

Maybe we should try water with moly?

yeah, the next thing they will remove from oil is oil.

 

[HEMIMANN]

Crikey, the engine manufacturers been using moly-coated piston skirts for decades, and SAE just discovered MoDTC? Wtaf

 

[Burla]

Redline prices are no joke, I have never paid more then 10 per qrt. Seams like the best your gonna get is 14 before tax. Who has that beat?

 

[Burla]

well I never

Man I have to get some of this, nobody ever seen this? A moly spray hello. For this application I do like the powdered moly more then what we use in engine oils. crc version is 15 bucks amazon, I will probably just get that 1.
