Hey Folks, Thanks for all the replies. I will stick with regular oil changes for now. @BearZdefect, I'm going to have a good look at where the leak is coming from, and that will be the first place I'm going to look. @skate1968 I've heard alot of problems with those grommets, but I good up there...

Hi Ya Folks, It's been a long year of running an ARX treatment on my 94 Honda accord. After two treatments and following the instructions to the letter, I'm now into my third oil change after the last rinse phase, and I still have a small oil leak that developed during the ARX treatment. So what...

Hi folks, I finally got my first ever oil analysis, and I was hoping for more feedback. Can you ( expert GC elves ) take a look over at the UOA UOA Yeah I know it's only a Ford Focus , but I would like to know if everything is good, or so so or whoopsie! Many thanks j

Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback. @Al, The coolant is the stock coolant from Ford, as it's still the orginal solution. I haven't had to add any for the life of the car. And I think it's due for a flush this year ( 5yr/100k kms) @SSDude, you are bang on about the driving style. It's the kids...

Hi Ya Everyone, Well I finally finished the long and satisfying process of an AutoRX treatment, and now have my first ever oil analysis. So let me first start by saying thanks to all you guys, who make this site what it is. I've learned so much from this site from tires to mechanics, I've...

Thanks folks, So it looks like it not a big deal. I always thought storing tires was the hardest thing to do right. So what should I do? Vertical, horizontal, in plastic bags, not in plastic bags, inflated, deflated, basement (warm), garage (freezing/hot) All advice is appreciated. Many thanks...

Hi Folks, Just got my summer tires put back on my Ford Focus Wagon, and the prices went up for storage and installation. I have the summer and winter tires on separate rims, and it costed me $60 CDN for the change over ($7.00 for installation, and $7.00 for storage / tire then the taxes of...

Tell me that these are riding lawnmowers, not the push type. You guys rock

Hi Ya Folks, As the title says I'm about halfway into the rinse phase of the 2nd Auto-RX treatment on my 94 Honda 4cyl Accord with 150k miles. I didn't have any oil leaks when I started the Auto-RX treatment, but I development one during the treatments. At this stage it is nowhere near as bad...

Hey Patman, I missed your post as I'm a slow typer. Cool that's three of you that have kept the oil filter on for the duration of the oil. Very nice to know. Thanks guys.

Hey vad, My focus has the 2.0L SPI engine. Now, I'm not worried about the oil yet, but I was just wondering from all those guys that posted in the other topic with long 10,000+ oil changes, if they left thier oil filter on that long? Or did they change it half way? And if they changed out the...

Oops, my car is a 2002 Ford Focus wagon with the standard engine.

Nice earlier topic with people posting 7->12,000 mile oil changes with GC. And my question is; do you keep the same oil filter on for the interval? How long should oil filters run for before changing? And how do you just change the oil filter? Do you drain the oil into a clean can, then remove...

I have a 2002 Ford Focus 4cyln (81000kms)wagon, that I just put GC in about a month ago after an autorx treatment. ( barely 1000kms on it ) Didn't notice anything good or bad with GC in the car as the wife has been driving the car more than I have lately. Anyways I had to bring in the Focus to...
