Mine are supposed to deliver today so I have my fingers crossed I receive what I ordered.

I've been convinced. Just ordered a 12 pack of these for my 2 Honda's. I have one old school Fram Ultra left and I was looking to source my next stash.

LSJ.... I'm in no way a shill for him and I promise I really don't care that much, but is he actually a certified tribologist? Is it truly just self-proclaimed? I honestly don't know.

It only took about 2 weeks from the time the Kia dealership told me the oil consumption test I had done came back normal to me being broken down on the side of the expressway, sitting in a pool of oil with a con rod poking out the side of the block...

I clean my engine bay twice a year and following this schedule makes nice and easy to keep it looking good.

Halfway through an OCI of HPL 0w-30 Premium Plus with 12 cases still left in my stash. That should get me to their Christmas / New Years sale should they have one.

2023 Civic Type R.. I had been using a variety of oils PUP, Kirkland, dealership bulk...etc. On my first OCI of HPL Premium Plus the oil darkened up noticeably fast. Conversely I'm 4000 mile into my 2nd OCI of the HPL and the oil had not darkened nearly as much as the first. I'd like to think...

I just installed Lasfit LED replacement headlight bulbs in my beater 2006 Honda Civic. It's just a bulb replacement, but what a game changer... I was reticent to drive the car in the rain or at night due to the pitiful performance of the old halogen bulbs. Now I just have to give the headlight...

Installed an aftermarket ( Project Aero) Belly Pan on my FL5 Honda Civic Type R. The new pan is more robust plus has access panels for oil drain plug & oil filter.

FYI.. Kroger fuel points work @ Shell stations

Not to belabor the point, but it was probably Hyundai/Kia that buggered up the engine manufacturing process first with their Theta engine.

I had one of the KIAs with problematic engine. My engine let go on the expressway, but luckily I was able to get it to the berm safely .

2006 Honda Civic EX 1.8l 169,840 miles on the clock 5000 miles on the oil Out: VRP 5w-20 / MicroGard In: VRP 5w-30 / Fram Ultra

Could be .. I know of Blackstone's challenges with accurate fuel calculation, but FWIW flashpoint tested @ 410F ( >385F).
