belt driven SOHC motor The motor now has 37k on it

I replaced the lower intake manifold with a ported & polished piece. I also replaced the throttle body with a ported unit. When I did the Lower Intake Manifold, I also removed the valve covers, and painted them. I did replace the valve cover gaskets as well.

You guys think I should be worried about the Copper??

This is a 2004 300M - LH car, not an LX The 3.5 was the top of the line!! And it is fast for what it is!!

Here is the first analysis of my 2004 300M Special. I had done a couple of oil changes on it prior to this sample. The older information is from my 1999 300M which was totaled in February. Anyhoo, here it is... Any thoughts??

Here is the latest analysis on our 06 Focus. Everything looks great!! Blackstone Labs did the analysis: Any thoughts??

I have used Valvoline, and Castrol. Both of which are good choices. There are other brands (AAP for one) that makes an ATF+4, however none of them state that it is a Full Synthetic like Castrol, or Valvoline does. That is the reason I stick with one of them for my 300M.

This is on a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special. 42LE Transaxle My guess is that it is an RTV sealant (seeing how Chrysler uses it in most gaskets)

Group, I have read (and heard) that the diff's in our cars require Dino Diff Fluid due to the seals in the diff are not compatible with synthetic fluid. I ran synthetic diff fluid in the 99 forever with no issues. When I got the 04, I originally put synthetic (Mobil 1) 75W90 in it. I changed it...

I wonder if you could buy that, then ship it to the states for those that are interested? Although the costs would he quite high I am guessing.

I like using the M1 0w40 in my 300M Special...those 3.5's seem to love it.

Group, Over the weekend, I did some work to my car that for safety's sake, required me to change the oil. I did have M1 high Mileage 10W30 in the car (all WalMart had at the last OC. This weekend, I was at a parts place, and didn't feel like going to Wally World, so I got 5 qts. of M1 0W40. I...

The person that owned this car prior to me didn't take very good care of the mechanicals of the car...it was a leased car. I changed the plugs @ 28k...and they were a wreck. My guess is from running regular unleaded in the car when it calls for premimum. So, I am giving it a good Seafoam...

Group, I am going to do an oil change this weekend on my 2004 300M Special. I am going to do a seafoam treatment, then do a engine flush....I wanted to get M1 10W30, but the local WalMart only had the M1 High Mileage 10W30. I am assuming that the only difference is the additive pack. Is this...

I plan on going on to longer intervals, starting with this run. I am going to 5500 miles like suggested. Eventually, I want to go to 7500 miles. I don't want to switch oils then, this is what I plan on running until the car hits the grave.
