You forgot the third trend here. America sucks and everything european and japanise is great. I do buy American cars and oil. I own 3 dodges and run Amsoil or PP in them. I looked at the sites you provided and it doesn't look like anything special to me. I run synthetic so I don't care about...
I really don't think that the rings are glazed. This car does not burn a drop of oil. It has no tick or noised of any kind. It is a very solid engine. I think the increased copper and iron are just from break-in and my heavy foot. I try to drive easy but the power is addicting. Now I do think...

Tell us more about what this tuner does.
Well its a Diablo Sport Predator tuner. It allows you to reprogram the computer for better performance...
This is my first UAO from my 09 Dodge Charger. The car has 14500 miles on it and get mostly highway use. It didn't use any oil during this run. I replaced this oil with more amsoil 0w-20. I'm thinking about going to 0w-30 or 5w-30 amsoil next time. The MDS is disabled with a Diablo tuner and I...

91 GMC Sonoma 2.5l 5speed
94 Dodge Dakota 5.2l Auto
96 Dodge Ram 5,2l 5speed
All were very good and reliable.
Current Vehicals are.
09 Dodge Charger 5.7 Hemi This is my favorit of all so far.
08 Dodge Caravan 3.8 6speed auto
00 Chrysler...
I just bought an 09 Charger R/T. Its basically the same car as the challenger. I think it is a great car it got tons of power gets over 20mpg its very smooth and feels very solid. I drove a 3.5 car and it had good power and was nice. It didn't compare to the HEMI though. The fuel economy is...
There is no way I would use dino HD30 in my bike in NE PA in the fall or winter. It gets to cold here. That oil will be like pancake syrup in the cold.
I agree an air power is the way to go. If you really don't want to deal with a compressor then that snap-on will get the job done. Might want to consider this.
