Dollar General got hit with a class action lawsuit recently about some of the oil they sell. They sell some of their Dollar General oil that is marked for older cars. I guess people are buying this for their new cars and that's where the problems begin. Anyway, DG does sell name-brand oil on their shelves, as well as obsolete oil that shouldn't be put in any internal combustion engine. If an oil has an "SN" rating, it's probably a very good oil for your engine. (Unless you need Dexos oil, a way for GM to make more money on oil royalties) If you look at some other no-name oil that DG sells, it should say on the back that it shouldn't be used in modern engines. So why are people buying this oil? I have no idea. It's not fit for an air compressor and it should stay on the shelf. By-the-way, DG occasionally does have good deals on oil. About twice a year they have a BOGO on their "Peak" branded oil where it's under $2/quart. Peak is SN rated and can be used with confidence. Oh, yea. A lot of other dollar stores are also selling obsolete oil. If you are familiar with oil and if you read your owner's manual, you should have no problem knowing what oil can and can not be used in your car. A few class-action lawyers are just trying to earn their keep with their lawsuits.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
