I had some time to kill tonite so I created a little excel sheet with our entries. It shows the total to be 14400.5 qts with 41 qualifiers for the 'Gold Club' (100+ qts)... of course johnny is the king with 690! I would attach the xls if I knew how. BTW, Some had more than one entry so they have...

I didn't think to include my six gallons of 2-cycle oil... Grand Total = 11,828 qts.

My small inventory: 5 qts. Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 8 qts. Pennzoil 5w20 12 qts. Valvoline Maxlife Full Syn 5w30 12 qts. Valvoline Syn Blend 5w30 15 qts. QS Advanced Synthetic 5w30 6 qts. QS 4x4 Synthetic 10w30 7 qts. Mobil Clean 5000 10w30 ------ 65 qts. Total: 8588 + 65 = 8653 qts. PS: You...

My guess is 1500.

I installed a Fumoto on my '88 Trooper and usedTrooper it several years and 100k+ miles. When I traded for a '96 I switched it over to the new vehicle and it noe 125k+ miles. Never lost a drop. I just got a sure drain for my '02 Taurus. I will be installing it when I drain my AutoRx rinse phase...

One other thing you might do is file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Since you weren't the one 'wronged' you might not be able to but if you can it would definitely be a black eye on that crooked dealer.

I'm sorry, I should have given this in my original post.. below is the Spec'd size. Part Number: 51334 UPC Number: 765809513341 Principal Application: Acura (88-05), Chevrolet (85-88), Dodge (91-96), Ford (88-96), Honda (72-05), Hyundai (89-07), Isuzu (85-04), Kia (01-07), Mercury (87-91)...

I am looking for an oversized filter for my '96 Isuzu Trooper. Does anyone have a part number for one? (preferably a Wix)

Is there any additional benefit to extending the rinse phase beyond 2000 miles? If so how far? Should I change the filter if extending the rinse? My Taurus has 72k on it and I'm about 1500 miles into a rinse. I have about 2500 miles on my Trooper's rinse phase. I plan a second treatment of my...

My '02 Taurus has 72k miles on it and I'm ashamed to admit though I religeously change my motor oil, I have never serviced my transmission. So I'm thinking that I should flush it, not just drop the pan. My question to BITOGers is, do I drop the pan and change the filter before or after doing a...

I know a mechanic who has a book which lists engines and whether they have interference or not. I suggest you check with a local mechanic to see if your engine is listed - or you could try asking the dealer (sometimes the guys in the parts department are helpful when the service guys don't want...

I have done the 'Seafoam through the vacuum line' a time or two before with very noticeable performance improvements so I'm wondering if Techron would do the same or better... or would it be a waste?

Just think how much faster it would be with a 5W20!LOL

I put a Fumoto in my '88 Trooper back in 1989. When I traded it for a '96 in July 1996 I switched the Fumoto over since it fit the new vehicle. It is still working fine today in my '96 Trooper (123k miles) - never leaked a drop and I have had it in some pretty ugly terrain in Central Mexico (I...
