The History Of The Pennsylvania Oil Boom And Petroleum Industry

Is there proof of non organic unlimted abiotc oil/ fuel?! If there is send me a link from your OFFICIAL SORCE. If not then what can we do before oil crashes?

Oil isn’t going to be running out any time soon. There are at least 1.3 trillion barrels remaining and much much more in oil sands and oil shale.

Is it better to use tanning oil or tanning lotion in a tanning bed? Im deciding which to use, because ive heard from people that tanning oil ruins the tanning bed is this true???

Any information about tanning lotions and oils would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

TANNING OILS DO RUIN TANNING BEDS. Please do not use an oil in a bed. Be careful where you buy your lotion from. Most salons severely jack up the price on lotions. To find a wide variety of lotions at reasonable prices, look on ebay. I buy all of my tanning lotion from there. It’s also extremely safe to order off there when you pay with paypal. I do not like lotions with a bronzer or tingle. I just like accelerators. The classic is australian gold accelerator. It’s great; should cost about 15 on ebay, but 20 in a salon prob. I have tried a few lotions from the millenium tan line and have been disappointed. I would not recommend them. California tan is a line with some good lotions. Have fun shopping for lotions!!

I have a 1990 GMC Suburban and would like to know if there is a way to check the oil pump or the oil pressure. My gauge has started reading no pressure all of a sudden but the truck still rides great. At first it would drop when I stop at a light and go back up when I drive but now it just says 0 on the oil gauge. I have been told that it is the oil pump but I would like to check the pressure first. Can someone help me?

Change the oil pressure sending unit.

I’m traveling about 200 miles this evening, and I’m 1500 miles overdue for an oil change. What I’m wondering–should I check my oil and top it off or is this not the same thing? How bad is it for my car to keep driving? Should I really go get an oil change before I leave this evening?

Thanks!

Oil temperatures range from subzero temperatures in northern states to engine operating temperatures which could reach over 200 degrees F. Do this process in a 3 month time and your engine oil begins to degrade. Oil degradation worsens exponentially after you lose the first quart of oil due to oil burn off usually. After this quart of oil is lost,it is easier to loose the next since the less oil you have the hotter engine temperature you have.Your oil filter is filtering small metallic particles from the unavoidable friction of metal parts inside the engine,not to mention sludge that might be created by poor quality oils. Oil should be changed in an engine at 3000 miles along with the filter unless stated by the manufacturer.You could go longer with a synthetic product which tend to keep an engine clean and last longer. Your engine oil should be checked every week to ensure proper level and maximum performance and longevity. To sum it all up, Get An Oil Change.

I just bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage, the owners manual wasn’t with it, was hoping someone knew what type of oil to use. My guess is 10W-30 But I want to make sure its the right oil for the car.

According to the Mobil website your car calls for 5w-30. If you live in an area where the temperature drops below 0 Fahrenheit this is the the viscosity to use. Reason being: 80% of all engine wear occurs during the first few seconds the car is started. It’s imparitive the oil in the crankcase is pumped to critical engine parts quickly. Higher viscosity motor oil actually makes the oil pump work harder throughout the rpm range.This costs efficienty and horsepower. Lighter viscosity oil "adsorbs" heat inside your motor more efficiently keeping internal parts cooler, and helps give you better gas mileage. The correct viscosity will allow the starter to crank the engine easier in cold weather, particularly if your car is parked outdoors.
Don’t use dime store oil filters. Napa filters are made by Wix. They’re very reasonably priced and among the top three brands.
Never on this green earth put 10-40 anything in any gasoline engine. The small handbook in your glove compartment has the best information possible as far as upkeep and service schesules. If you were to pick a brand, Mobil, Quaker State, Havoline and Valvoline are among the best of the mineral based oils.

If you’d like to give your car a treat, Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W-30 pours @ 53 degrees bellow zero F. That’s a full 20 degrees lower than their mineral based 5w-30. This will help your car start even easier and 5,000 mile oil changes is all that’s necessary. After 12,000 miles and two oil changes you will have paid less for synthetic than you would have if you had changed the oil with regular oil four times @ 3,000 mile changes.

i am making a german chocolate cake and we are out of vegetable oil can i make it with olive oil instead…it only calls for 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil.

yes you can subsitute olive oil for vegetable oil the only difference is one is made from olives (and better for you than veg oil)

Found out that new cars that use synthetic from factory like mercedes don’t require oil changes until 13,000 miles. Does that apply to any other car that uses synthetic oil too?

Never stretch your oil change intervals past the factory recommended mileage as printed in your service book. This is very important as long as the car is under factory warranty. There’s no stipulation in your book that you can choose to go longer if synthetic oil is used. Ford, Chrysler and GM recommends no more than 8,500 miles under the best conditions on their new cars. The Dodge Viper and some Chevrolet Corvette models come from the factory with Mobil1 in the crankcase. Oil change maximum remains the same.

Toyota (mine not Mike’s) recommends 5,000 mile oil change intervals probably do to the fact excess heat created by the catalytic converters which are so close to the cylinder-heads. Toyota makes no exceptions concerning the brand or type of motor oil used. Again, if you ever need documentation about oil change intervals while the car is under the power-train warranty it’s foolish to test the system.

In my opinion you most likely could stretch these mileage numbers after the power-train warranty and did mostly highway driving. On the other hand why in the world would you skimp and pinch on the most basic insurance on your motor.

Oil prices nearly doubled in the last 12 months. I want to liquidate all my assets, buy oil, and sell next year when the price goes higher. How do I do it ? Is it legal ?

Unless you have massive amounts of storage somewhere you can’t buy very much…. One futures contract (currently at $110 a barrel) has a lot size of 1000 barrels. Oil isn’t something you can "buy and hold" unless you can take physical delivery and store it somewhere, which will cost you of course.

If you think oil will continue to rise you are best putting your investment into funds that hold oil as an asset or oil companies.

Outside of that you could try to play the futures market but the cost of entry is quite high and there is not much margin for error. As an example, futures for delivery in March 2009 light sweet crude are at $97.47/barrel for a 1000 barrel contract. You could buy this and hold and try to sell that contract at a later date if it goes up. If it goes down though you are going to have to sell at a loss come Mar 09 as you can’t take physical delivery.

I recently dropped an oil lamp (used as insect repellent) into my pool. Now the water is cloudy and there is an oil sheen on top of the water. I don’t know what type of oil this is but would appreciate any ideas on how to remove this oil.

Tennis balls. Yes tennis balls! The material in the balls absorb the oil into itself. Put about four of five all around the pool, let them sit for about 3 hours without the pump. After that run the pump with the balls and they should take out the oil, try the next day with new tennis balls and repeat the process.

I have a large pile of small metal drum parts that are completely covered in what appears to be motor oil. I have removed the oil from the larger parts with Simple Green and a scrub brush but I’m definitely not looking forward to cleaning the smaller parts that way because it’ll be very labor intensive.

Does anyone have any ideas on other ways to remove the oil? Are there any household products that I can soak the parts in that will remove all or at least some of the oil? Boil them? Any products that aren’t too toxic?

Thanks.

Brake parts cleaner, it comes in a spray can at any parts store.
