I have been happy with a Foghorn Powersports cutter, amazon, $23 I think.

Have you cut open the oil filter? Wondered how much gunk the RP removes in older J35s

Mobil 1 EP at the viscosity listed on the cap is what I run. Was Mobil 1 AFE or vanilla M1 before EP was offered. Own 3 J35s with 265k, 225k, and 115k miles. Disable VCM on the 14, you are in prime VCM trouble year/mileage. VCM Tuner II from vcmtuner.com is what I use, no experience with the...

Bosch 3323 used to be my preference but they are now made in Mexico and some details have changed, but still seem good.

For sure. Put on shady side of the house, in the shade, under a tarp if possible, on a hard/paved surface to cut down on dust/dirt, fan on the blowing toward the inverter side of the unit (control panel on most).

The grease included with the pads is M77 moly grease intended for: between the pad backing plate and the “shim” plate pad ears and their mating surface on the caliper (ss clips). I put it on very thin coat and I buy my own tube of it since the ketchup packets are hard to use and often dried...

Where do you put the suction tube to use the vacuum?

It would be interesting to see what your oil filter looks like after using the R&P, all the removed stuff goes somewhere. That is discussed on the video when they talked about the older Restore product. They had to create a product that was “safe” for general use. The video and product is...

Yes, but where can you actually purchase one and not get the -PLM-002 substituted?

Why did you go with 5w30 in the Ody? Just curious of your logic to see if I need to learn something. Not starting a fight unless you are one of the Thickie-Wackos :) I maintain 3 Honda V6s with like 600,000 happy miles on 0w20 or 5w20.

I have observed this also, but as a man of science I was skeptical that it was my observation bias or some other explanation. I saw it with PP HM and M1 EP HM in the same vehicle. Interesting that others see it. I have observed also that M1 seems to be a little darker in new form. Also...

I put the clean oil jug on the floor near the new filter close to where I am flailing around under car… Makes it convenient for me to kick it over…. But, I dont open the seal and cap until I am ready to put the new filter on and dip my finger in it to use clean oil for the gasket and threads…

Deere/Scotts SP6213 (orange Scotts painted version of the Deere JS63) with the Briggs Intek 6.75 hp OHV engine. Bought June 2000. I estimate 25 hours per summer - mow weekly from May to August, probably 60 minutes run time. So 575 hours total estimated. Original engine. I change the oil at...

The J35 Honda V6s do not have any issues with fuel dilution and it is certainly not caused by VCM. VCM causes other issues. The Honda 1.5 turbo DI engines do have an issue with fuel dilution but they do not have VCM.

This was 3 x 5 quart jugs for $75 shipped. In store and online they are $29.97 each now and I have seen them $27. Seller is listed in China and has 11,000 items sold with 300 items listed now - they list some M1 Euro 0w40 for $75, M1 EP 0w20 is up to $83. I hear ya on the stolen CC thing but...
