From Reading the ASTM D-1401reports for both oils does the 30 at the end of the report for royal purple on the data sheet mean 30 minutes for water to boil off?

I did not understand the significance of all of the items I read above. However the synthetic purple oil did cite the following; "• Rapidly separates from water" Would it be correct for me to interpret that as allowing the water to Boil off at a rate faster than other Oils would do therefore...

I have a 2 stage air compressor I use an 30 wt. Non-detergent oil. Is there another oil or even a synthetic that would help the oil and lubrication so it would not pick up so much moisture. I know the problem would be alleviated if the compressor was used more but that's just not the case. I...

I have and FJC 2732 that I use to add precise amount of oil to the pressurized a/c system.

I think it’s possible that the car only needs a good alignment and corner balance. That is if the toyota in question has the proper range of adjustability to corner balance and align. Your friend’s problem is most likely caused by improper vehicle static corner weights. Car needs to be setup...

What does 100% Synthetic/Double Ester Technology mean in layman's terms?

I am going to just stay with 93 octane 100% gasoline, that seem to be fine for my car. The owner's manual even states car can operate on octane as low as 90 octane since the engine's" Electronic Oktane knock control" will adapt the ignition timing if necessary.

Originally Posted By: datech I think you could use it to mix with lower octane gas to bring it up to your requirements. Where do they sell gas in 5 gal cans? Us the link below to find location near you. http://www.racegas.com/

Sunoco is selling non leaded gas in I think 5 gallon cans. They have 100 and 110 octane if I'm not mistaken. My car calls for 93 octane and that is what I have been using, that is 100% gasoline, no ethanol. I was wondering if I would benefit from higher octane? Or would the higher octane be...

Originally Posted By: glxpassat My guess would be the Motul is thinner when cold and more is getting circulated through the engine rather than getting dumped back into the pan by the relief valve. I don't know if it makes any difference but there is no pan. It is a dry sump motor with an oil...
