    I am going to put the Babys (Engines) to Sleep this year

    Ok, just got the order....instructions say: Spray down intake for 10 seconds with engine in fast idle mode. Take out spark plugs and spray in each cylinder. Turn over engine a few times. I was kinda hoping to just spray down the intake and put it too sleep. Oh, Well.....

    Turbo leaking oil

    Larry, I have had a few turbos rebuilt and I would think now would be a better time for you to do this. There are a few places in California that will help you out. Try the Yellow pages in Orange County or San Diego under fuel injection services. Or find a junk yard for a replacement. On a...

    Synthetic oils/Extended drains

    And another point of view.... Esters and Pao's attacking the paper? I believe M/Benz addresses this problem with Fleece? Amsoil is addressing it with synthetic fibers?

    Chevron 10/30 vs 10/40.

    Chris, what year is your Jeep? The SM is the better of the 2, but the SL is better for older engines. When I purchased the SM, I used it in my Mom's 3.0 Ford van...newer, and my Fathers 440 Chrysler motorhome older got the SL.

I refilled with a quality detergent oil...ran another 500 miles and drained and refilled. Worked fine for...
