Oil change prices

Yes sir. It worth an ask. Like I said, they have to pay to haul it off. So whatever you take, is less they have to pay to haul off. Anyways, just a suggestion.

 

Yeah sorry

 

I pay my local car repair shop $150 for labor and buy everything myself. $150 is a small price to pay not to crawl in the dirt and find 30 grease zerks. Maybe when I was a broke kid.

 

I'm not buying that. You could put in 0 weight, as long as it doesn't hit 500 degrees, it's not going to be an issue.

 

Lol, its all good. Least of my worries in life. Hope it helps some guys out. To me oil is cheaper than fuel in the long run, because the oil is free. Therefor I can actually get the temp up as high as I want, because I'm not worried about the cost. It's much nicer working at 70° than 50°. Because you don't want to pay for the extra fuel. Anywho....

 

Ehhh, thickness of oil removing pillow that the bearings ride on, thats not completely outside the realm of possibility, its not likely unless operator is a dunce not paying attention to how engine sounds and oil pressure though

 

Speedco charges $95 for the labor to change the oil and install all filters including fuel filters.An extra $10 to grease.

 

Engine started to knock, shop said overheat and why, I've transferred info here, no necessity to believe from anyone)

PS: the hotter the oil, the thinner it gets, the thinner the oil, the lesser pressure, the higher elevation, the even more lesser pressure, physics.

 

You need 10psi per 1000 RPM. If synthetic blew up that engine, then it would be blowing up engines left and right. And since it's not blowing up engines left and right, then the issue was with the engine.

To add to that, the thought process is backwards. Multi viscosity oil doesn't work like that. Take 5w40 for example. It's 5 weight when cold, for easier starts. It's 40 weight when warm. But how does that work if oil thins out when warm? Simple. Polymers that stay coiled up when cold, and cause decreased viscosity. Then when they warm up, they stretch out, and increase the viscosity.

So at operating temperature, that 5w40 synthetic is providing the same viscosity as 15w40 dino oil.

 

I've always run 5-40 in every diesel. A lot easier on the engine during startup.
