Schaeffers because I have used and abused it,and after sending it in for analysis it was in like new shape after 7,000 hard miles in a turbo car....and its a cool green color Also it is not priced like a lot of "hi-po" oils.

Royal Purple. Saw a Falex test in person with it and several other brands. It barely hiccuped at the same load pressure at which Castrol Syntec nearly caught fire. I was impressed.


1968 Charger project. I don't have a fender tag or a buildsheet, so it's getting a 440. Help me decide on a color--most everything looks great! (NOT white. My Challenger is white. Need some variety :D)

All my stuff has flat tappet cams so im not running any new low zinc SN oil..

Ive been running shell rotella t5 10w30.. Cheap and easy to get and its a HDEO.


I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

I just emailed Shell about the percentage of synthetic in the 10-30 Rotella. My reply will come from the Philippines..........

I wonder what it would do to my 165K mile Corolla catalytic converter?

Rotella T + STP. Works well, protects my flat tappet plus inexpensive and available.

Valvoline 10-30 plus 1/2 bottle of ZDDPlus----but there is certainly more than one way to skin this cat.

Well it's been over 24hrs since I sent an email asking how much synthetic is in the 10-30 Rotella.
