    BluePrint Engines says to not go synthetic until 9000 miles?

    The people at Blueprint are not lubricant engineers. A lot of engine builders are no more knowledgeable about oil than their customers, spreading a lot of the same myths and misinformation. This is true even in the professional ranks. Unfortunately, if you want to keep any warranty they...

    “UNC###” usernames?

    Unearthed Norian Compadre #001 It is an oil forum after all.

    Brand and amount to double the zinc amount from 800ppm to 1600ppm?

    If you have to add something to your oil, you're using the wrong oil. Oil formulas are carefully balanced. Don't upset that balance by playing backyard shadetree chemist with a supplement. If you need additional ZDDP, there's plenty of oils out there that are already balanced around a higher...

    Youtube Oil Experts

    It's a tongue in cheek comment meant to be humorous. The 70s was quite an era.

    Youtube Oil Experts

    So did the boomers when they were that age, but instead of Youtube shorts and Tiktoks, they cured their attention span and boredom with amphetamines and quaaludes.

    SUNO AI Stealing Until Nobody's Original I think there's a place for AI in very limited settings. I don't want AI to do my google searches for me, to give a summary of my email, slap together every cliche #1 radio single into something spoon fed to my ears, or anything like that. I think it...

    Youtube Oil Experts

    He's a knowledgeable person who explains things well. However, I think he comes off as a shill to some people. I've read a few comments on Facebook of people being distrustful of his oil information because it comes off as an on-going Mobil 1 ad campaign. I can see their point. There are...

    Youtube Oil Experts

    The only thing making me sick right now is the fact that you included Project Farm among "oil experts." That's some ebola level sickness. Don't ever do that again. But yes, I am annoyed by the AI-generated content as well. I'm also sick of how blindly people take it as gospel.

    HPL PCMO 5w30 - Subaru Outback 3.6r using oil

    In my MIL's Buick, which was burning a 1 quart every 1,500 miles beforehand, the consumption did increase with the first change to about a quart low at 1,000 miles. By the 3rd change, it had slowed to 1 quart in 5,000 miles. The likely reason for this is cleaning of the rings. There's a...

    1966 327 Flat Tappet Valvoline Restore and Protect?

    As much as I abhor the idea of using oil supplements... Merciful Father, I come to you with a humble and repentant heart. I acknowledge that I am about to fall short of your expectations of me. I confess my sin to you and ask for your forgiveness. Please cleanse me of this most unrighteous...

    Blackstone Results for Amsoil 5w40 Metric Motorcycle in my 2022 Can-Am Spyder RT S2S

    That KV100 seems bogus. Have them rerun it with fresh calibration. Blackstone is notorious for getting the KV100 wrong. In order for that KV100 to be correct, it would have to be poor quality, low viscosity base oil and a 50 SSI VII which is not how Amsoil formulates. I've seen that oil in...

    Trying to foam oil

    The hotter the oil, the susceptible it is to foam. Thus, D892 is conducted at 93.5°C. I like such as this though.

    "In the unlikely event of a water landing"

    I've flown through some severe weather, but I can't say I recall anyone vomiting. (thank god) I have been a nervous wreck on a plane to the point of wanting to vomit though. I was 18 on my way to basic training and first time I ever flew.
