    [insert question of why you are interested in changing here] Trying to see what's best for me or rather for the car. the best way to tell if the car is in good shape is to send a sample to Blackstone correct?

    How much top off oil when changing the filter?

    Prefill your filter before installing it. let the car idle for 5 mins, so the oil can move around, shut it off let is sit. Once the oil has accumulated in the pan, then check your dip stick and add accordingly.

    Question on AutoRx oil filter deposits

    Oil leak increased with Auto-RX

    Well, I'm new to this Forum. I'm gonna say this, and hopefully I'm right. Continue on with your Auto-RX application. After the rinse phase, add your fresh oil and filter and see if you still have a leak.. Now if the leak has increased then that means Auto-RX is working. You have an idea where...

    MPG of gasoline brands

    Quote from Beanoil "Soupnazzi, you can't make a blanket statement about Shell and oxygenates. It will depend upon where that fuel is sold, and if it even came from a Shell depot. Shell may have a vendor in your area, but no refinery close enough to supply fuel. They will buy, or trade fuel with...

    MPG of gasoline brands

    Shell doesn't use any alcohol or any oxiginates(spl) in their fuel(from a reputable source). Maybe the brand of fuel you use have either alcohol or oxiginates(spl) which reduces your MPGs.

    I want to do an oil analysis but......

    OK... I was having a hard time applying Seafoam to my car. The brake booster vaccum hose was not a good choice. I also felt that using my PCV valve vaccum hose will harm the PCV valve itself. I'm not a mechanic, so in this situation I was not comfortable. So I added to the fuel(advise from...

    I want to do an oil analysis but......

    nope ..no issue at all I like this oil, it has a good pour point in cold weather. Good performance characteristics. Then there's no point of running an analysis with all of that crap I put in the fuel. I will dump the tainted Amsoil and put in some fresh Amsoil.. I'm getting close to my...
