I have 2005 CPO BMW 325i that I just bought...According to the service records the car was serviced at 15,127 and 28,842 which is when I bought it. I pulled the valve cover and the motor looks brand new....zero sludge and very little varnish. The engine the OP posted obviously has other...

I bought a CPO BMW 325i with 29k on the clock. Before purchase I looked in the oil cap and everything looked clean....After purchase I pulled the valve cover and it looks fantastic...zero sludge and no varnish, in fact it looked like a new engine. According to the service records, the oil was...

This is an example of why I don't mix oils.

I have stored a few cars, but live in LA.... I will change the oil and add MMO to a full tank of gas. I then run the car at operating temp for 30 minutes. Park the car and add some MMO in all the spark plug holes. I will also put the car on stands so the tires don't get a flat spot and...

I have owned quite a few old cars like a 57 Chevy 210, 68 Road Runner, 69 Nova SS, and my current project a 70 Dart. I would do three or four quick OCI's to basicaly flush out the engine since I never totally trusted the people I bought the cars from. Cars ran better, leaked less or stopped...

According to the UOA's I have seen, Delo does not need added Moly. Chevron must know what they are doing with there dino oils, since they all perform great in most UOA's.

If your going dino. Chevron Supreme would be a great choice.

Honestly between the two I would just pick the one you really want to try. There will be no warranty problems since they are both 30 weights, and only differ in their winter rating. From what I read the M1 is a thin 30W and GC a thick one. I think in reality the high temp number is what is...

I have a 13 gallon tank and add 3oz at every fill. While I can't say I have seen an increase in milage, I have noticed that no matter where I buy my gas my car always runs the same. Before I would notice I got a bad batch of gas now and again. The car seems to idle smoother and just generally...

Do Harleys have wet clutches? If so DO NOT ADD AN ADDITIVE PAK. I had an old Ducati that had a wet clutch and on reccomendation from a friend I added a moly add pak that made the bike un-ridable. I had to replace all the clutch plates and run a few oil changes before if stopped slipping.

I get the car up to operating temp before I drain. Then I let it drain until it stops completely. During that time I usually put tinfoil on my cats paws and let him loose on the tile floor.

M1 5W-30, 10W-30 and Delo 400 15W-40. When I used to race a FZR400 I used Motul exclusivly.

Penzzoil is made from people.

It was running Pennzoil, 20W-50.

Now I am confused...I thought Delo 15W-40 was a dino.
