OK...what the heck is BITOG?

 

Bob is the oil guy. A place where folks geek out on motor oil to the same degree (or worse) that we do about the HHR.

Black Rose hit it dead on....anything you ever would want to need or know about oil is right there

What names do you guys use at BITOG? I'm a pretty regular visitor there under Blue Goose.....someone named BradC says he belongs here under a different name but he didn't elaborate so I didn't push

I wonder who this BradC clown is?

 

This is a non-scientific study, but the guy is trying to do a good job, following a standardized process.

FWIW

Thanks for that link. It's an updated version of his research that was started on another site.

 

Ive been using the AC/Delco-got a deal on a case from my Chevy parts guy. Kind of related-I had a bit of a nightmare last oil change. I was using a new pan to catch the oil, and it was a bit high. So, when I loosened the oil pan drain plug, I just let it drop into the new pan. When I went to remove it, there was a huge mess. It seems that the bolt blocked the hole so all of the oil overflowed. Luck for me, I did not do the change in my driveway-but in front of the house where the driveway meets the street. So the oil all ran down past my neighbors house. I tried to hose it down, with no luck. It just made the mess go down to other neighbors homes. Now I am a little apprehensive about doing it again.

 

That's nasty. I've been debating whether to get a pan that has a big gaping hole, or one of those ones that has a smaller hole that also doubles as a used oil storage container.

I think you inadvertently helped me choose the former over the latter

Of course my wife is not keen on me changing the oil myself anyway, but that's another story.

 

I guess we don't wonder anymore!
