OK so how do I do a search for, like (oil) If I want to know what people are using?

I just tried to do just this... didnt get anywhere and gave up... is oil too short a search term?

i tried:
+engine +oil

No. But almost every other thread has "engine" and "oil" somewhere in one of the posts.

I've tried "engine oil" and got less results, but still way too many ...

+"engine oil" +recommended

worked somewhat better ...

Sometimes you need to try a few combinations, especially with keywords that are used frequently.

I tend to have better luck using Google. If you use Google's advanced search function, you can set it to search only in www.914world.com. It seems to rank the results better.

Thanks for that.. i persisted for a little longer and got there with:
+engine +oil +grade :-)
