Is it possible that the Shell nitrogen fuel additive would cause nitration abs to increase on a UOA for an MPI IC engine?

1605 also has another extreme pressure/AW additive that LE calls DUOLEC. I don't know if it stinks all by itself, but it seems to work. It doesn't show up as a metal on ICP though. Maybe someone here like Molakule knows what it is.

Good luck Indydriver. I've decided to back this fill of TGMO down to a 5-7.5K OCI. At 10K the fuel, nitration, and oxidation #'s are getting a little high for my comfort zone.

Here's my latest UOA after several 5K OCI's. This is my first attempt at 10K OCI: New TGMO is listed first, and UOA is second with 34,794 miles on engine and 9924 miles on engine oil service TestOil VOA UOA Iron 2 10 Copper 0 5 Lead 2 0 Aluminum 0 3 Tin 0 0 Nickel 0 0 Chromium 0 0 Titanium 0 0...

LE 1605 SAE 110 for rear diffs. Valvoline 75W-90 for t-case and front diffs. Everything is pretty much conventional base oil with low VI's.

My 2004 owners manual recommends changing the filter every other OC. Is that what yours says? I change my filter every OCI though!

I talked to a lady on the phone today who owns both a .44 Bulldog and a Orange and Black .38 (same frame as Pink Lady). She says she uses FrogLube for all but the bore and cylinder chambers. She uses Hoppes #9 for them. I might try the Elite first and switch to #9 if it's ineffective. It was...

Like I said before, if she likes the Bulldog better, she can have it back. I'll use the Pink Lady. When she came to me asking for something she could use for self defense at home a few years ago, I suggested my Winchester Defender pump 12 ga. It's too heavy for her though fully loaded, but is...

She enjoys shooting my Charter Arms Bulldog .44 special. What makes you think she won't like the .38 special (it's not +P)? Too light? It's about the same weight as the Bulldog with less recoil. When I compared it to the S&W revolvers it felt better in my hand (great balance). I'll let you know...

Back in the early 80's I bought a used Bulldog .44 Special by Charter Arms. It has always been one of my favorite revolvers. Recently, I gave it to my daughter for personal protection. It is accurate and reasonably comfortable to shoot. She tried it and liked it. But as luck would have it, I...

LE, Inc. uses similar dyes in there lubes. That should be perfectly good lube no matter how old it is. The bottle is stained now, that's all.

This sounds like a PCV valve issue, not an air filter problem.

No need to overfill. My tranny fill plug allows fluid to drain whenever I change the fluid, even though there was no overfill from the last servicing. It's from fluid expansion from heat (driving). I change the fluid when it's hot. You will find that the same thing happens when you change the...
