<![CDATA[Buying motor oil.]]>Does anyone know of any motor oil sales around town? I'm so sick of dropping $50 everytime I need oil. Or if someone wants to go in on some oil in bulk, let me know.

I need 7 quarts of either 0w30 or 0w40.

Preferrably AMSoil, Royal Purple or Mobil 1.

The one for my Mazda as linked above, though the link never worked right.

And also my motor doesn't live a very friendly life, so it's the least I can do to keep it running. 😉

the dsm 1000 already asked questions has good stuff too

You guys should look into doing used oil analysis's for your cars. Helps determine how long you can run oil for your particular driving style. Even still most new cars today can go much longer than the 3k of older cars. Under "severe" driving I'm supposed to change my oil at 5k. Non-severe at 7500!

I've mostly just continued to use the Motorcraft 5w-20 which is a semi-syn (has to be to meet Ford specs) and it's pretty cheap. Here is a UOA of some Valvoline 5W20 however http://www.mazda6tech.com/images/uoa/dustinuoa.gif

i don't know who told you that, but (to the best of my knowledge), as with any car, oil takes a few seconds to circulate through the extremeties. cars don't put out enough exhaust to spool turbos (that large) at idle, otherwise your ic would heatsoak and they would wear out very quickly. do some research, you'll find that a lot of things that you thought were true are just rumors and myths

You can save a fair amount of money by being a dealer of the product.

I'll check out walmarts prices sometime soon, thanks.

Thanks, I like to keep it clean. Can't wait to get my wheels on this weekend. I was so damn close to mountin them up yesterday. 😄

Have you dyno'd your T/A car? I'd like to get a ride sometime. Those cars are ridiculous with proper mods.

do you have pics of your new rims?

there a lots of dfferent threads on car boards about viscosity, lots of different articles with various ways of explaining viscosity numbers... here's one http://www.advanceautoparts.com/english/youcan/html/ccr/ccr20040601ov.html

There is a guy in West Fargo who is a jobber for them. The number is in the phone book under the lubricants section, or I could just pm you the information.

I use to work at Jiffy lube, so I say that, my dad's company has a discount there too. They have a huge list of places around town that they discount.

I would also like to say I think your car is one of the nicest tuner cars I've seen around town. Very clean and very well done.
