I'm running schaffers 5/40 syn.
Ill be running VPB this time though.

Stp doesn't have much zddp. I think I'm gonna bring mine back and order some ZDDPlus.

You know I called the JD place to see how much their oil was because of you post in the high hp oil analyst thread.

24.99 a gallon! I don't know why I thought it would be reasonably priced.

Wow.....24.99! I was in a bind and stopped in to by a 2.5g and got it for around 15.5/g. We get it in bulk for the farm and I honestly couldn't tell you what we get it for!

I would like to try Schaffers but have no idea where to get it! The VPB (virgin) looks pretty good so I am gonna run it!
 
that would prolly depend on where you run your truck?

i tow heavy and sometimes accross the desert (130° f)

there are a bunch of different wts

we run 0-10 in the bike

think you can buy 10-30 off of ebay?

Wow is right! I got 12gal from my local JD dealer and it only cost around $14.50 per gal. Never thought regional pricing could vary that much.

This place is really high.

We bought 4 bolts, the ones that hold the blades on a bush hog(10ft). Its was close to $250 for 4 bolts,washers, and nuts.

It's a dedicated puller and this is a brand new motor just curious if the 20w 50 would be to heavy for break in.
 
i always run straight 30w in new motors

lucas makes a good additive for new motors too
 
got an email from stp today

I ended up using only 1 bottle. I heated it up and it was like honey when warm, thick stuff!

I will be ordering F1 zddp or ZDDPlus. Whichever is cheaper.
