Side question, how much do you guys pay for an oil change? A guy charged me 130 and told me things went up so I told him this is madness so he knocked off $20.

aranguez have a few shops that offer oil/filter(fram) for 200-250 and they change it for you for free.
oh boy Gulf was d best NON synthetic oil I ever put in a car I paid like $125 for it when it was available ..that ke70 5k engine was missing and sputtering ...put in gulf 20/50. and all miss gone engine quiet and smothe .. immediately got more powwwaaarspeedmelter wrote:Most oil is good. One of the best oils I ever used in a vehicle was Gulf. Was the cheapest oil at the time. Had it in a qg13 for about 10 mths and maybe 50,000 km working taxi before the level started to drop from full when I changed it. If you ever remove the tappit cover on an engine using Castrol or shine a light through the oil cap hole you are going to see a lot of thick pasty sludge. Remove the sump you gona see the same. Seen it on a quite a few engines. Clean and use shell that’s gona never happen. I personally like Liqui moly now but it’s really overpriced. Mobil 1 and all those good brands are good as well. Certification of oil I’m certain has mostly to do with testing under high pressure and temp to determine breakdown and vol/ viscosity loss to pass a minimum standard. I used to think that synthetic oil meant that it was engineered in a lab from scratch only to find out years later that it has more to do with the percentage of additives placed in the oil. Also learnt that the American standard is far different from the European standard. It’s a lot of good things to research and wisen yourself if you’re into the engineering side of things but for me I realized most oils can serve its purpose if used appropriately and marketing is the reason why some are so expensive. The more additives contained makes it more expensive as well. Use what you like at the end of it all

You all sure that SAE viscosity rating is supposed to be used in the particular engine that got damaged? Because it would have passed the SAE and API standards and have a particular rating that should correspond to what's in the vehicle's manual.
I'm just asking, because I don't see how switching brands for an API certified oil would solve the problem since they have the same standards of manufacturing and purity. What experience do mechanics have? Is it the brand, or is it that people use the wrong SAE rating compared to what the manual says it requires?
