    65 Mustang

    Looking for Oil brand and grade recommendations for a '65' Mustang with a 289 High Performance. Car has a mild cam in it. I was thinking of going with the Valvoline VR1 series due to the higher content of Zinc but don't know if I should use a 20W50 or like a 10W40 or even 10W30 grade. This is my...

    Oil choice help 5.3 GMC...

    If you plan to keep this truck a lot longer which it is more than capable of going twice the mileage then I would do the valve cover update on your truck if it was never done, possibly add a 'catchcan' and then use Mobil1 5w30 High Mileage.

    Acura customer service ARGHHH

    MAJORCAVALRY I almost bought one of these Acuras myself, but opted for a big SUV for my big family's needs. Most modern engines have this issue, but some more than others. What is happening is the oil is being fed through the pcv/vacuum tube and back into the intake. Thus the reasoning that a...

    E85 and Gasoline Mix Burnt Exhaust Valves

    Let me start off by saying first that I am by no means any expert, however....I have seen first hand how E85 and Standard E10 or 100% pure gasoline do not mix and one will sit on top of the other in the tank. I believe the E85 sits at the bottom if Im not mistaken. This is the exact reason in...

    PF63 Availability - Expanding

    Are the bypass setting exactly the same? If so then I would see no reason why not use a PF63 over a PF48.

    DIY Upper Intake Cleaning - DI Engines

    ChrisD46 $300 is way too much!! That is a true stealership. My Hyundai is charging $139.99 for a 3 part cleaning. They clean the throttle body and run a can through the vaccuum in the intake and then put an additive in the gas tank as well. I would call them out on that.

    2007 Volvo XC90 V8 AWD oil

    I would pay extra attention to the Trans on this car. My friend has one same year and the trans went out with 100k on the clock. Apparently it is very common on these and either nobody wants to work or rebuild these transmissions or nobody knows how. It took my friend 13 MONTHS before he was...

    Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30, 2009 Nissan 370Z, 4980 miles

    Sopus oils, Quaker State, Pennzoil, Shell all have some of the lowest NOACK numbers out there and Ultra has the lowest! So its probably Ultra doing a fine job. Not that Redline isnt a good oil, its just not its finest feature.
