For this riding season I changed the entire fleet over to HPL MATV 10w40. So far, the only oil change I've done is on the Honda 450r. It barely holds 1 qt, so I change it every 10 hours, give or take. No samples sent in yet. A Honda Pioneer sample will be sent in for sure. Last year the...
I'm in the same boat you are. My wife's car is short tripped and suffers from fuel dilution. Running HPL No VII 5w20. I'm pulling a sample again at 3k or 4 month-ish to see where I'm at. Considering 0w30 next.
Short trips daily. I'd guess 60% of the miles are electric, but the gas engine will turn on and off at random and most of the time the gas engine won't run for anything over 2 minutes.
Updated result from Oil Analyzers. Not sure why the HPL wasn't listed, but I have requested them to update that. Fuel dilution is still high. I'm going to start changing at 3,500 miles with a new sample at 2,000, just to see where it's at. I bought the HPL in a 12 pack and the car holds 4...
Yessir. I took it out for a 20-25 min ride on the highway. Some of the annoyance that I have with this car is just out of random, it will change from electric to gas at a stop light and 30 seconds later, the gas engine shuts right back off. Even with a moderately charged electric motor.
Was more curious than anything. On this car, I can't see how many miles were driven as electric vs the gas engine. Lots of short trips in town though. The air filter was brand new, Hyundai OEM. Oil filter is a Fram Ultra.
HPL 5w20 No VII oil and Fram Ultra oil filter going in this weekend.
Last few dump and fills have all been with Supertech +4. Never had a tranny issue in this truck (knock on wood). Getting my oil order ready to go with HPL, so I figured I'd at least check out their tranny fluids.
Thanks MSCH
Getting ready for a drain and fill for my 14 Ram 2500 Cummins with the 68RFE tranny. Has anyone used a HPL product in ATF +4 applications? In the winter months we tow a 4 place sled trailer a 100 miles or so. I have a mild "towing" tune. No crazy towing weights or stage 5 tunes.
