    2004 Volvo XC90 T6 Unknown 5w30 2243 miles

    Yes, very interested. Also, should I replace with new the metal tube? I know there is a URO rebuild kit, but haven't heard great things about URO (though also concerned since the tube is pretty expensive).

    2004 Volvo XC90 T6 Unknown 5w30 2243 miles

    That is what I am looking at. This poor T6 has a PCV issue, though (oil everywhere, failed glove test), so it is slightly dissembled right now while I replace the applicable parts...

    Yeah, after a quick "flush" change, that is my plan.

    Lubricheck

    Did that other device signify TBN by the LEDs? I messaged these guys on Kickstarter to see if more data was available and they sai they are working on a "Pro" version that actually will rely the data.

    Dye Composition in Royal Purple

    Purple consists of red and blue dye. So it doesn't matter that it is purple, it consists of red. As far as why - either pure brilliance or ignorance. That is not the point of my question though since it is what it is.

    Dye Composition in Royal Purple

    I did and although they told me the ratio earlier, they couldn't do anything definitive (on paper). Let's just say the dye matters since, if RP is added to diesel fuel, it could make such fuel appear to be offroad dyed diesel fuel.

    Dye Composition in Royal Purple

    Here is a slightly different question - I am trying to figure out the concentration of dye in Royal Purple (and perhaps its chemical make-up). At one point I received some information that there is approxiametely 4 ounces of dye in a 55 gallon drum. However, I am looking for something more...

    High-Mileage Suptertech ATF vs. Regular SuperTech
