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.

+engine +oil +grade :-)
