Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / April 2005O'Reilly Oil
O'Reilly just ran a radio add for oil and filter for $6.99. Right now I'm trying to track down WHY I keep getting gas in my oil and am changing my oil every week, which, with changing jobs right now, is a bit painful. Grandad (an auto-mech and machinist) always said, "Only use good Pennsylania crude in your car" (which is saying something considering we live in Texas :>) so I've only ever used Quaker State personally. Does anyone know who makes O'Reilly's oil? I've learned over the years that at the grocery store, half the store-brands are just re-branded famous brand stuff...wondered if it were the same in this industry. Thanks, John in Houston Never heard of them.. <g> Probably if they are not tryign to build a customer base, it is reprocessed, used, engine oil. Fine for an engine/vehicle that has no significant value. Of course, when you buy oil by the 55 gallon drum, it is much cheaper than WalMart! However, if you are getting serious contamination in a week, you need to fix that ASAP--you are really phshing that lubricant and bearings! >O'Reilly just ran a radio add for oil and filter for $6.99. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >John >in Houston The last time that I diagnosed a fuel in oil problem it was due to no spark due to a bad plug wire. > Never heard of them.. <g> Probably if they are not tryign to build a > customer base, it is reprocessed, used, engine oil.

Maybe I can check that this afternoon... Thx, John > The last time that I diagnosed a fuel in oil problem it was due to no spark > due to a bad plug wire.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thx, > John ..................... John, O'Reilly oil, will either be Havoline, or Valvoline, at one time was Hav. dont know who has the contract.. BTW theres no re refined oil in O'Reilly stores..you can buy one brand of Non Detergent oil though.. mostly power equip. uses it.. As for the free filter. That correct & a very good deal.. You buy the oil.. the filter is price over ridden to 00. *S About the gas in crankcase... depending on year.. ( IE. Fuel Injected or Carb.... Older cars with Carb.. most times are choke pull-off not working,. you have no idea just how much fuel it will take right down the intake...... wash the valves then down in the pan. IF you pull a plug on each cyl..& find ALL washed ( WHITE ) electrode.. its a Choke prob. if you find it in a single cylinder ( Fuel Injection. ) is a bad injector. or needs new seals/o-rings. If Multi-port Inj.. probably Fuel reg... Good luck.. u sure can blow up an engine that way.. get it fixed soon.. OH! Forgot as another suggested.. single cyl.. may be bad plug or wire.. that cyl washes & fowls the plug.. again good luck.. The "RAin Maker"..

On a older vehicle with a mechanical fuel pump, a bad diaphram can leak fuel directly into the crankcase. Bob |
