    Post your latest oil change

    2017 Mazda CX-9 2.5T M1 0W-30 AFE - It's winter in the great white north. I got some Valvoline Modern Engine on clearance that'll go in next. Genuine Mazda Oil filter replaced OEM drain plug with a magnetic drain plug.

    Castrol Power 1 10W40

    exactly, not the best, but for daily duty it'll do. I won't use it for track use thats for sure. But if I had a second bike, I think it would be fed this if I could consistently get this oil at this price. But it's gone up, my local supermarket/grocer has M1 cheaper than this Power 1.

    Castrol Power 1 4T 10W/40 motorcycle VOA

    Nope, this is Castrol Power 1 4T as stated in the title. This is the same oil as the VOA in the OG post #1. You must be referring to the reply by Krismoriah72, he posted a VOA of Actevo (post #4). Post title says Castrol Power 1 4T 10W40; OG post #1 states Castrol Power 1 4T in the report...

    Castrol Power 1 10W40

    1300 miles on the oil at the time I drained it out and took the sample. 1,970 - 650 = ~1,300 miles, quick math. I dropped the original oil at 650 miles for storage purposes and to get an idea of what was in it and how it was working. The UOA of the factory fill was kinda a waste of money as I...

    Castrol Power 1 10W40

    I did not run any this past summer, I tried but between events getting canceled and then other things happening in life, they didn't materialize. Which amounted to only 1300 miles this season :-/. My Buell was in fact an 1125R, 2009 model. I ran M1, Amsoil, and then settled on Motul 7100. I...

    Castrol Power 1 10W40

    I didnt even think to look at the flashpoint, I'm not to educated in that or the sheering, so I didn't really comment on that. I did look at the sheer values for the 10w30 and 10w40 and saw the used sample is just slightly higher than a 10w30 so I would agree that it sheered down rather quickly...

    Castrol Power 1 10W40

    Sorry if this isn't allowed; I had a thread in the VOA (not the motorcycle page) for the Castrol Power 1 10W40. I just received back the UOA of the oil after 1,300 miles. I had a busy season this year and it didn't allow me to get out as much. I've attached the UOA, and am going to include a...

    Castrol Power 1 4T 10W/40 motorcycle VOA

    I have attached my Used oil analysis of this oil. It only had about 1,300 miles on it. The report is not correct, the oil is 10w40 as the initial VOA shows, I'm not sure where they got 10w30 from, but that's not correct. some context on what they were commenting on from my notes to them: The...

    Castrol Power 1 4T 10W/40 motorcycle VOA

    Castrol Power 1 4T motorcycle oil in 10W/40 Amazon had a great sale on the Castrol Power 1 4T a couple months ago and I got a case. They appear to have removed the Power Racing RS oil from the U.S. Market and was curious how this oil compared, or if it was the same and just given a different...

    Who has a car that does not use oil?

    MY 2008 Saturn Astra with the 1.8l ecotec doesn't burn any oil.

    Dealership topped dexcool with green, what to do..

    Happy to report the coolant change is happening today, along with some completing some open recalls. Thanks all, they are doing it no cost to me along with what they are saying is a fully synthetic oil change.

    Dealership topped dexcool with green, what to do..

    Well his budget was $10K. This car was listed at $12K, they are bringing the car down to $10,500 before his trade in. After trade in it's $10K before taxes which is what he wanted. Finding a Cruze in my area has been a battle since we started. We keep finding rentals/fleet cars, his...

    Dealership topped dexcool with green, what to do..

    It;s a fairly nice Cruze in great condition and the dealership is a good one from reviews. I think it's just since it's a used car they are skating by by doing the cheapest they can. No oil leaks nothing. But getting a used car check seams like a good idea and I'm not to worried for him.

    Also it's a 2011, so it's about 5 years old (introduced in 2010), so maybe if it's time for a coolant change anyway, maybe that as well as telling them I watched the wrong coolant get put in will put it over the tipping point for them to change it?

    Dealership topped dexcool with green, what to do..

    Yeah I researched that and GM had a bulletin saying to bring it in and they will top it up, their excuse was air trapped in high points in the cooling system. We are going to bring it into a GM dealership for pre-purchase inspection, so they might be able to catch something that will be fixed...
