The whole US arms to Pakistan, Soviet/Russian arms to India is rather interesting. I think it has to do with India not wanting to succumb to US pressure to buy US aircraft and help US companies gain inroads to India during the Cold War. Pakistan has French, Chinese, and US aircraft in their air...

I personally am very happy. If you compare this to the previous Mobil 1 it is really amazing. This oil was beat hard. My engine was above 6000RPM (fuel cut is 8300rpm) for 100+ miles, including an entire 1 hour session of 5000+ RPMs. I was expecting something much worse. I don't think the oil...

I'm not so upset about the visc shaerdown. The oil was run rather hard. A 1 hour non stop track run is pretty hard on the engine. The cams are cahin drivern as well. I didn't expect this oil to look this good.

how did you get ahold of the nippon A2 filter? I'm looking for a Nippon A1 filter. I'm assuming you can just order it from any Toyota dealer if you give them the correct part number right?

Here is my oil analysis sample of Redline 10w-40 in my 2001 Toyota Celica GT-S. This oil was tracked pretty hard including a non-stop 1 hour session (Thunderhill if anyon wanted to know). I have a Mocal oil cooler that kept temps around 210-220*F most of the time and peaked around 230*F during...

I'm heading out to a track day soon and wanted to make sure I kept my detonation/timing retard down. My car has variable valve and ignition timing and the computer will reduce timing if it detects too much knock. I was wondering if Fuel Power, Redline SI-1, or some 76 100 Octane race gas (a...

wetsand it, than you ar going to have to either roatary or use POrt Cable buffer to remove the sanding marks.

This board still does get a little racist sometimes. I've remember reading various types of ****heads mentioned on here without any sort of care.

It is an interm solution until I pull the pan off and create some baffles for it. Also this would make changing my oil much easier. I currently am in a place where I can not jack the car up and change the oil. I can access the oil filter fine from above the engine bay. I also have an annoying...

Yes many WW2 era piston aircraft used water, methanol, or nitrous injections. It raised the effective ocatne of the fuel and increased power (especially at high altitudes for some systems). Same premise for car water injection. You inject some into the intake stream, then you can up to boost or...

Nope, it is a standard pan with a windage tray. It is on a Toyota 2zz-ge in '01 Celica GT-S.

Don't make the engineering/tech section of the board off limits to the other members. At least make it viewable if you do. It would be the best way for students, and non-tribioligical engineers to learn more about oil. Most internet message boards lack tech. There is too much hearsay on most...

The thing is I can't/don't want to take my plug out because I tapped it on a lathe for a oil temperature sender. The wall thickness at the threads is very thin and I don't want to keep applying stress/ elongating the threads doing oil changes. My oil cooler alreayd assures me that I'm not going...

Anyone use this oil change pump to remove oil from your pan for an oil change: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=45403 It is a Harbor Freight piece so I don't know how well it works. It would make my oil changes much easier and cleaner. I have tapped my oil drain...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but does anyone know where I can find Mobil 1 R in the Bay Area? I'm in the east bay (Berkeley/N. Oakland).
