I'm going to start a new religion based around oil mysteries . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
What type to use? What weight to use? What brand of oil is best to use? Check it at high tide or low tide? Check at full moon, Harvest Moon, or Blood Moon? What day of week to check it? What is the optimum oil temperature? What brand of filter is best? Sheesh! Just fill to the marks the OEM put on the dipstick and use the standard filter. Life doesn't need to be so hard. |

Synthetic oil decreases friction and increases horsepower, but some worry it'll result in oil leaks. What say you guys? |
