    Pennzoil Ultra Platinum how much boron?

    This might be better suited for the oil analysis forums, but given that it concerns change over time I figured I'd ask here: how does one explain the dropoff in Pennzoil Ultra Platinum's boron levels from VOAs (in the 200s) to the used oil analysis (<100)? Is this a good thing, a bad thing, or...

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    I changed the boss at like 1.5k miles. I had been running the Pentius filter since then.

    Yeah from here on out, I'm doing 5-6k mile OCIs with the Pentius filters which are like Microgard Selects but made in Korea.

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    I had the boss for such a short period of time that I couldn't tell you. I'm still keeping an eye on it since it could very well be a fouled PCV valve, dirty injectors or (god forbid) a faulty torque converter. Given that it's under 9,000 miles it shouldn't be anything quite that drastic. Air...

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    Just wanted to give an update - I had been running the Pentius filter with Valvoline Extended Protection 0w20 for a couple thousand miles and everything was good. Went to the dealership for the free oil change and tire rotation and immediately took a 4 hour roadtrip. Things seemed fine until the...

    Honda Dual Pump Fluid II vs Acura's All-Wheel Dual Pump System Fluid

    Based on these findings, does anyone know of any equivalent or similar gear oil/ATFs currently on the market? Especially if they're of the group 4/group 5 variety?

    The Honda Oil Filter Thread

    I'm super curious if anyone here has tried the oversized Microgard Select MSL51626 or similarly sized filter. Would love to know how it went for them.

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    Yesterday I changed my oil at a little over 2K miles, and swapped out the Boss with a Pentius filter. Thank y'all for your guidance and suggestions!

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    I was aware of the moly which is why I went with the Valvoline Extended Protection that has a lot of it. What other kind of breakin lubes does it come with?

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    I used Valvoline Extended Protection 5w30 for the early change, since it has a lot of moly and a sizable amount of boron (though not as much as the OEM 0w-20 it came with). Wanted the heavier viscosity because of all the news about bearing failures, so I just wanted to kind of give them a...

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    I sure hope not, but it's easy enough to just throw one on there if I need to take it into the dealership.

    Filter changes during the break-in period

    Thank y'all so much for the advice! I'll be sure to switch out the Purolator. Based on the feedback here I'll probably go Microgaurd Select, unless y'all have a better recommendation.
