I would think with it being disconnected from the air box it would be a good vacuum leak. I hope it didn't do any damage with me driving it for 35 miles like that before I popped the hood.
So today for no reason, my jeep stalled out at a stop sign. No lights or codes and it restarted an ran fine. I figured maybe my air charge sensor was dirty so I popped the hood to clean it. That's when I saw the hose from my crank case to my air box was off on the air box end. I have no idea...
PYB. My vehicles always ran smooth on that and it cleaned the engine up a bit too. IIRC, it has high molybdenum content as well. Currently I use QSUD 5-20 though.

Weigel's also sells 92 octane non ethanol but I don't use that in my little Patriot. I just figured true gas would be better than the ethanol stuff. I definitely get better mileage, and I run techron every 3k miles.
Here in TN we have stores called Weigel's. They actually sell true 87 octane which in my Patriot nets me about 28 mpg vs 26 mpg for ethanol based 87. My question is this: is a true 87 octane gas better than say a top tier 87 with 10% ethanol?
Unusually do a 7k OCI using QS UD. Things got hectic and I ended up pushing that closer to 10k for the first time since I've owned my Jeep Patriot I bought new back in '15. Ended up going to a local lube place and getting my oil changed and they used Service Pro semi synthetic 5w20. Seems it...
Saw a few quarts of 10-30 PP for 4.60 a qt yesterday. My Traiblazer is specced for 5-30 but the manual says I can use 10-30 in certain climates. Guess I should've bought it.
I was at our local K-Mart today trying to kill time while waiting for my dog to get done at the vet's, and found the "old" PP 5-30 for $4.60 a quart so I bought the last 3 they had. Then saw they had one 5qt jug of the "old" PP for $23 which wasn't THAT great of a deal, but still a couple bucks...
Well my Trailblazer is definitely shifter much smoother, but I'm not sure it's the LubeGard or the fact that I've replaced nearly all of the atf with new Maxlife.
