I have been using BG products in my vehicle since before 36000. They do offer a warranty with the products if you begin using them before that mileage. Using the MOA every 7500 (i believe) they will put 4000$ towards the engine if anything on the lubricated parts side of it fails for the ENTIRE...

The thing is this is my BG rep (who I think doesnt know a lugnut from a screw) telling me this. The only answer I have got is "thats what they were told". I sell plenty of the stuff in my shop however I do not see the reasoning you would need to run an oil additive afterwords. When trying to get...

I was told recently that when BG quick clean is ran through the engine that it is imperitive that MOA is ran with the new oil. Does this hold any truth to it?

They didn't just to the Sequence IIIG test one time and run the results, they actually did it twice. Sent the results to their competitors, waited for a response (there was none) then posted the results for the public. Now, I am not trying to act like a fan boy here so ill say this. My shop is...

Recently had a transmission exchange done. The ATF gun was labeled Spirax Dex/Merc III, but when I got my invoice it read "Service Pro Dex/Merc"....I brought this up to my advisor and he had told me that they had just switched from SOPUS to this Service pro. Anyone have any information on this...

The only issue I have noticed is when getting on the gas (IE flooring it) which ive only had to do a few times merging onto the freeway on this on ramp that sucks, the trans likes to hesitate switching gears.

I guess I should be a little more detailed. 5w20 is in now, and thinking of switching to 0w20 next change.

I recently picked up a 2000 Taurus with the good old 3.0 vulcan motor and 77k miles. First thing I did was dump the dino 5w30 the previous owner ran and put in M5w20. My question is has anyone ran 0w20 in that motor and what were the results? Thanks!!!

He tried a 15w40 in the past but that did not help whatsoever. I agree that maybe a 50 weight would have the same effect as the LOS. And yeah, it should be looked at, but he has no other issues with it except on the initial startup after the change. I should also state he has roughly 210k on...

Alright, I am fairly new here and am well aware that LOS is probably the most hated product in this community. I for one and not a fan, but want to share this story and get some feedback on it. I have a friend with a 2002 Chevy pickup with a 5.3 vortec motor in it. He had a problem building...
