That’s not what Catch Can’s are designed for but it will catch “some” fuel vapor that goes thru the EGR and back into the intake. (Most people who empty their catch can say it smells of fuel but it’s mostly oil and water in there.) The majority of the fuel dilution is getting past the piston...

I picked up two of the 12oz bottles at Advance Auto for $12 bucks minus a $10 speed perks coupon and walked out with two bottles for $2 and change. 💪🏻😎👍🏼

They’re doing their best to look Green. Sucks that it comes at a premium. I did back to back UOA testing between this and the Pro-DS line and they were similar. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’d buy it for $20

I’m wondering if I should hold out for another few days in hopes of it dropping even LESS. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t need any more oil (garage is FULL with Lube) but decided to waltz by the oil section in ChinaMart while wifey was shopping nearby just to entertain myself and ended up not being able to control my oil hoarding desires when I saw the Clearance Tags. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Grabbed a few jugs of the...

I’ve got this in my cart and pondering about pulling the trigger. You have to buy 2 boxes to get the discount. I’m shocked it will ship for free. It’s gotta be heavy and cost them a barrel of oil to ship. Total comes out to $3.94 per quart. Not the best deal out there but good enough, all...

To see if you got a Lemon of an engine or not. Say the factory fill came back LOADED with metal. So does the next oil change and so does the next… you now have plenty of evidence to contact the manufacturer and and show them that it was shedding ABNORMAL amounts of metal since day 1. 🤷🏻‍♂️...

My question to you is… why are you overthinking this? Your last car allowed for 15k intervals. Your current car reminds you at 9k. Explain to me the reasoning to go longer??? You like driving around with the maintenance wrench illuminated on the dash every time you start the car? 🤨😤 The...

😆😂🤣 they didn’t learn to avoid these Korean pieces of broken turds after the very FIRST engine failure??? They didn’t learn after the second engine failure and thought that maybe 3rd time’s the charm and hoped it wouldn’t BLOW UP?!?! 🤨🤦🏻‍♂️ I recently did valve covers and a leaky oil cooler...

Looks like the Lab messed up your sample and tested some Virgin Oil instead cause there’s NO WAY, this Lube spent 5,000 miles in your engine. 🫣 I'm kidding of course. Amazing results. Keep using it, if it lubricates your internal oil pump. 👍🏼

The manufacturers don’t want to promote longevity though. They want you to come buy a new car every year. 😑

I’ve been on this forum for over 10 years and have stacked many UOA trends for several vehicles over many many years. All show single digit wear rates and stay consistent year after year. I see no value in it either, once you get past the initial first few analysis to check if your usage vs OCI...

Am I the only one who uses Advance Auto Parts? Been buying it there for years for $10 a bottle. Currently $17.29 - 15% off and throw in a - $5 speed perk rewards coupon = $10 after tax I can $10 rewards I can stack and walk away with a free bottle. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll throw in my two cents about the topic at hand…. I bought a first gen 2012 Nissan LEAF for wifey to drive the kids to school and back in order to avoid cold starting her GMC Acadia 3x each day just to drive the kids to school and back. I figured an electric golf car of a car would be...

I feel like ChinaMart does this nonsense on purpose simply to boost their sales for the day on paper. The returns / refunds / shipping expenses don’t matter to them it seems. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Glad I didn’t waste my time with this one. I’ve grown a 6th sense for this crap thanks to this forum. 😜
