But it's more than that. During cold weather your tires don't achieve the same operational pressure rise as summer time. You actually need to raise the Cold Inflation pressure higher for the winter, NOT match the summer cold PSI The test only involved a standardized PSI used warm wx and cold...

Guys and Gals here's what's happening to cause this. Hyper miling a tire usually involves a 10-20% increase in the max inflation as standard practice to REDUCE sidewall flexing to INCREASE fuel mileage. Physics wise it's the actual LACK of pressure increase delta from operation in cold...

Factory oil looks like it's regular GL5 80-90 but the dealer says you must use their oil to stay in warranty...... Does anyone here know more about the Mdrive/iShift ?

I can only tell you from my experience, YES the 10-30 makes a measurable difference. I resisted the 10-30 in my 2016 Volvo Semi truck and went back to 15-40 on a few of the PMs ..... Every time i had a decent measurable LOSS in MPG with 15-40 oils. Now in semi trucks a .4-.6 MPG loss doesn't...

OAC has about 15% better thermal transmissivity than the older green IACs. This is a big reason they changed the coolant in almost every manufacturer years ago as emission systems started putting increased loads on the cooling systems. Using green IACs results in less cooling performance.

Cascade detergent works incredible to clean a cooling system of mineral buildup and general crud. Flush out well afterwards.

I use Amsoil off road polymeric with moly.... So far i haven't found grease that stays put as well as this stuff. It makes my volvo 780 steer and ride noticeable smoother for longer and the U joints aren't going dry nearly as fast as other greases from various service shops. I Also used the...

I use a Lincoln 14.4 volt unit, cordless greasing is definitely the way to go!!

Bingo

I'd take anything Lucas and throw it in the trash .. their oil stabilizer product for engine oil should tell you anything you need to know about Lucas oil co.

I use the Amsoil #2 polymeric with moly for my tractor trailer in everything.... It lasts noticeably longer than any of the greases I've gotten at TA, Love's or SpeedCo so far.

The Amsoil polymeric grease is pretty awesome stuff, used it for a few years now
