I was wondering this exact same thing, I have a 4l80e and a Ford 6r80 that both need fluid. I've heard dex VI is ok for the 4l80, which means the Green would work for both. Would be nice to buy just one kind

I have a Dewalt cordless chainsaw and it does the same thing, will empty the bar oil reservoir in a few days. I found this out when I left it in my truck tool box..what a mess. I read in the owners manual where you are supposed to drain the oil out after use, meaning they know it leaks.

I just had the control board replaced on my Whirlpool top loader last week for this very issue. My washer was a couple months outside of the one year warranty, but they said it was covered anyway. I wasn't aware of this "recall", thought they were just being nice. The part took one week to...

The capacity is 6 quarts. The engine probably uses a 1/2 quart every 1500 miles or so, just estimating. The filter change at 5000 miles didn't require a whole quart, just estimating a 3 quart total on make-up oil through the whole oci. It was down 1/2 quart when I changed it, so I hadn't...

Also was curious about the oxidation number, I'm assuming this is high since they flagged it. What causes that?

I added a little less than a quart when the filter was changed, then periodically added 1/2 a quart at a time. I probably added closer to 3 quarts over the 10,000 miles because it does use a little oil, but I really didn't keep track like I should have. It was probably a 1/2 quart low right...

I will do that this time then. Would you suggest changing it halfway through again?

I did not cut open the filter. I did change the oil, that's when I collected the sample. I put the same HPL back in

Here is my first UOA on this truck, ran the HPL out to 10,000 miles. This is their CK-4 5W-30. The truck has 200,000 miles as of this oil change. Not sure I would go any further on this oil? I changed the filter halfway and probably added a total of 2 quarts make-up oil.

The fluid level is correct. It was actually overfilled when I bought it. Previous owner said he had a cracked flex plate replaced by a transmission shop, I assume they also did a fluid change because the fluid looked new. Are there any companies you would recommend for a rebuilt unit? I found...

I have a 2001 GMC 2500hd with about 190,000 miles, with unknown history. I've put about 15k miles on it since I bought it. Transmission has always shifted good and firm and fluid is bright red and has never been above 200 deg. Recently the shifting has seemed a little off, nothing too bad, but...

He built it last year but I just recently got it installed and running ( the jeep was out of commission for a while). I knew he was older but didn’t know his exact age. He’s super nice and seems to know his stuff, I'm definitely happy with what he built for me.

I had Bruce from Carburetors Unlimited build a Q-jet for my AMC 304, this thing has never ran so good! He is very knowledgeable on Q-jet’s and has a ton of good cores on the shelf. He’s located in Peoria AZ, his number is 623-399-0179. I don’t think he has a website. It’s definitely worth...

I'm on year 4 or 5 with this one, Pel-pro. I haven't had any issues at all and I probably put 70-80 bags a year through it. I heat a 1500 sq ft shop and it's definitely more than enough. Most of the time I just burn it on the lowest setting, but it will crank out a lot of heat on high for a...

I wonder if there were some changes to the OLM between 2002-05? I was kinda expecting mine to go off closer to 5k, but like I said I definitely work the motor. I'm averaging 9-10 mpg towing the trailer, there are quite few times I'm in third on the highway at about 3500 rpm trying to keep up...
