    My experience with auto-rx

    XS650 and Mystic, I think your right on and honest about what you expect from AutoRX and what its really for. Other comments made begin to contradict previous statements made and those UOA's are suspect to being accurate as it was a friend’s car which he was honest about not having control over...

    If you haven't used ARX, you have no experience with this product.

    Amsoil consumption?

    There are many "reports" (posts) in other forums about the Griz using 0w-40 oils, mostly Amsoil because it the only one out there labeled for ATV's/Snowmobiles. Now I use 0w-40 Amsoil year round in my ATV's (which now is only an 06 Rincon) and have never had to add oil since I began using it @...

    Oil for Yamaha WR450F

    I never said to only use motorcycle specific oil ONLY, nor did I say use ONLY oil labeled for the application. Guys, please read my posts more carefully before firing off at me. I can take a lot of heat, and love to debate, but I’m highly bothered by my posts being completely misread, plus some...

    Does Synthetic Gear Lube have a shelf life?

    No proof to back me, but IMO it has no shelf life to be concerned about. The difference may be the lastest formula's may be a hair different. Concern warrented for used in a 95 GM Diff, naa.

    Oil for Yamaha WR450F

    Awe man...I know I shouldnt post another reply. But this will be my last for this thread unless UOA's are posted. I mentioned his web site more than once, and that on his web site there are no motorcycle UOA’s. I was only looking for the ones he claims the oils bit the dust. I can absolutely...

    Quaker State 5w-20, 5200 mi, 2004 2.4 iVTEC CR-V

    Sorry, I didn’t fork out for the TBN on either report. And neither Honda uses oil to the point I even need to consider adding any. Level change on the Accord I est. no more than 1/2qt, on the CR-V I didn’t notice any change on the stick. And yeah, the CR-V got the filter changed every other...

    This is why I do my own maintenance!

    When I met my wife, I looked thru her previous invoices from the dealer she had all work done. Her SUV didnt have more than 36k (still in warrenty) when I reviewed the documents. I added up over $1500 of useless and duplicate "maintenance". *Two* 4 wheel alighments when she never complained...

    QS Torque Power...how good?

    The recent rebate is a great deal, for what should be a great oil. (dunno bout the "max torque" claim though) Price per quart comes out to $1-$1.66 per quart. Cant beat that. Depends on which rebate you find... $25 per 6qt case w/tax - $15 rebate = $1.66 qt or 5 qts @ $4 per qt - $15 rebate...

    Oil for Yamaha WR450F

    For the record, I said that I “recommend” specific oils for the application. Never have I said on any forum NOT to run any oil, not one. I don’t believe any motorcycle engine will blow or have gears pit using ANY oil on the market today, wet clutch debate aside. And elric, there is no posted...

    Honda Factory Fill - BUSTED

    Matchbox car...they printed the report with the wrong motor. Your Element has the same 2.4 iVTEC as Accord and CR-V's. And once broken in correctly...you'll be amazed at future reports. If not, you'll just prolong break in for a couple OCI's. Thats all. Regarding break in, I followed Honda's...

    2004 Honda CR-V 2.4 iVTEC 32,000 miles 5200 on oil 5w-20 Quaker State (Green Bottle) Fram Tough Gaurd Oil Filter, 10k+ miles on filter. I change the filter once a year, as if following 10k OCI's, but run dino oil only and have changed it every 5k since first OC @ 7300 mi. The CR-V sees very...
