    Mobil 1 Testing

    Don't forget M1 historically outperforms most synthetics oils in terms of engine cleaning ability and deposit formation. As a proof, pictures can be found almost in any online forum. This forum slowly but surely going downhill along with all M1 haters and biased Amsoil folks...

    Amsoil, what group?

    Well, as far as I concerned first real full synthetic oil (no crude oil used) was developed by Germans during World War 2 , yet Amsoil don’t seem to be very shy to claim that they did it first.. I wouldn’t trust on anything else they say.

    Who is using Castrol GTX?

    Don’t feel to bad, I’ve seen black stuff in almost every other GTX bottle. As for the moly, well there almost none…

    Your thoughts on new Tacoma Crew Cabs

    You people don’t know what you are talking about. New V6 Tacoma outperforms most modelsV6 and I4’s prior year 05 in terms of fuel economy, new I4 2.7l engine confirmed to be very fuel efficient up to ~ 30mpg and in some cases even more.

    Lucas Synthetic 5w-20 and RP 5w-20

    No big deal, Lucas meets API = all you need to have your warranty approved. If money is no object, i do really believe that their oil would be the best stuff you can buy from regular parts store. I have nothing to proof but I know many folks in Europe who run their $50K+ vehicles on Lucas...

    lots of moly = higher lead?

    Depends what kind of oil. I would consider Amsoil anything over 0 as a high and Redline less then 500 as a low.

    Your thoughts on new Tacoma Crew Cabs

    I have Tacoma pre-runner extended cub 2005 with 20k on it. Very comfortable and reliable vehicle I must say, no issues as of today. There always complains no matter if it manufactory fault or owner stupidity. One of the owners from the link above even complain about high rpm when engine...

    Amsoil 5w20 vs PP 5w20

    If you don’t like M1 go with any major synthetic oil brand widely available in parts stores. They all produce nearly the same UOA results and made from the same base stock & add pack components except maybe RP.. . Personally I have no problems paying $80-$90 for a good stuff but from my point of...

    I blame BITOG (and need counseling)

    14 qts of Redline and 37 qts PP as of today. With the latest PP sale I should go over 100qts total within next couple of weeks.

    Any idea when Speciality Formulations?

    Safe to say they won’t be around for another couple of month. Can’t wait since I’ve decide to try their manual tranny "brew"

    mitsubishi sp III trans fluid

    One of my buddies drinks and smokes a lot, yet still kicking strong. Amsoil ATF one of the weirdest stuff (all makes & models in one bottle.. ). People just need to realize that unlike engine oil, coolant and ATF fluids sometimes very unique to particular application and not interchangeable.

    I visited the GC refinery in Germany

    Dude, there no Mexicans. Most likely Turkish or Ruminian folks. Unlike here, you won’t be able to get any job (I mean even public toilet cleaning) unless your communication skills above the average level.

    Anyone received/tried FP 3000?

    It should increase mpg up to 6%

    mitsubishi sp III trans fluid

    First, Mitsubishi sp III very good quality synthetic blend fluid, whoever said otherwise just a plain stupid. Second, there no substitute available, you can use any universal fluid or canola oil if you wish, your car..not my. I’ve seen many reports from tranny’s mechanics that aftermarket fluids...
