In Reply to: Changing Oil brands???? posted by JD Seller on December 02, 2017 at 19:27:30:

Once in a blue moon I have ran across a engine that did not to be changed up on brands of motor oil, The same holds for a oil filter. Chrysler seams to be the worst and Nissan second. I would put it at 5 out of thousands over 44 years I use good name brand oil and filters now parts house branded junk.

Changing oil is a lost leader to start off with you are not going to save much so why try and make up a lost with cheap parts you will never see the lost lose ground unless you are doing 50 are more a day. The best way to stop the bleeding is to just add the extra cost to the job then buy in bulk to even the ground. As in your case that once in a year deal on the good stuff pops up jump in it.

When I go in a shop the first thing I look for is what oil filters they have stacked on a shelf if they are across the board house brand cheap filters you can bet your arse low bidder gets the contract on every other part they use also that includes the oil.

I am not trying to get into a pizz'N match that one is as good as the other the best I can do is install quality name branded parts and justify the extra cost as its the best I can do. I don't debate it with a customer if they want cheap they came to the wrong place...

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
