Sintered pads are for stainless rotors. You don't want to put sintered pads on carbon steel rotors as they will chew the rotors up. Organic pads are for carbon rotors. You can also use organic pads on stainless rotors with no ill effects. Sintered pads will give better braking but you have...

Send it to me as I am short 2 for my oil change and amazon it out of stock I will graciously make it up to you!

Yup, I only ran it 3k to have a baseline. Now it's going to be 5k and see what I get. So far I'm pretty happy with PP, I was considering switching to Amsoil. But now I'm thinking I'm just going to stay pennzoil.

I just got the results back. It's my first UOA. The Jeep has a total of just over 22k. It's my second run of PP. I know 3k was to short. I know I asked for a TBN and I didn't see it on the report. Inset the charge for it to. I just sent them an email about it.

Yup 1.5k. I'm ride pretty hard. Hard enough to use all of the rear tire from edge to edge. Don't take it to redline but I do workout the motor and tranny pretty hard. Especially soon temps on the way to work are going to be over 100 and this summer is going to be really bad. The current oil...

Anybody use this oil? I looked for it in the UOA and did not see anything on it. Reason being is that cycle gear has it on sale for 25.00 a gallon. Buy 3 get one free! I was thinking about using it in my 2009 Dcuati Monster 1100S. It's a semi-synthetic and I was planning on changing it...

18" is the minimum barrel length unless it is registered as a short barreled shot gun (200.00 tax) or unless it was manufactured as an AOW (any other weapon). AOW's are a 5.00 tax instead of 200.00. Most gun manufacturers make the barrel longer than 18" to be in the safe side. I run an...

I contacted BMWNA recently about oils for my 135i. I was going to change the oil at 500 miles to clear out any metal frags from the initial breakin. I was going to use Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40. So I contacted them to see what would be the verdict. I read the approved oil list in the BMW...

I have plenty of ammo. I have a dillon 650, so the only problem for me is finding components. My buddies store has a ton of .223 this weekend. He's not a price gouger either. Not sure if he has any left as they had a BBQ event this weekend. I'm sure he has still got some left.

Yes the jeep is a 2008 and has less than 22k. I bought it new and the first 3 years I owned it I put about 800 miles total. I was traveling alot and my family would drive it to the store about 20 miles a week if even that. I did reset the monitor as when I changed the oil the monitor was...

The Jeep is a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon. The engine is a 3.8l v6. I do have the lifetime power train warranty on this motor. I did talk to the dealer before I caught them doing nasties to my jeep. I asked them if I could use a 5-30w oil in the motor as summer is coming and the temps are going to...

I'm still new around here. Some have some questions about my oil changes. I just recently started doing my own oil changes. Then dealer I normally take the jeep to, has not been up to par. I caught them only putting in 5 qt's instead of six and not changing the filter! So my last oil change...

There are 3 types of fouling that you have to deal with. 1. Copper, from the jacket 2. Lead, from the core of the projectile. If the bullet has an exposed lead base. 3. Powder fouling, from the powder being consumed during firing. Copper fouling takes a while to get to the point where you...

Thanks guys for all the info so far. I do an oil std OCI of 6 months just because I don't ride as much. I hit hit by a car a few years back and shatters my elbow. The gearbox and engine are a shared unit, I forgot to mention that. My manual recommends a 15w50 for extreme high temps or 15w40...
