    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    I have had this happen after using a Motor Flush (out of curiosity and not expecting anything) I have also had similar happen with supertech synthetic oils. It just took longer. Short OCI help tremendously to clean up a motor as far as I can tell. I wouldn't thinknit would be too difficult to...

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    That $109 cost is to do the Oil Change itself. Not for just the oil. And, like you mentioned, they have a $30 off coupon. A $79 oil change is a decent deal anymore in my area for people that don't/can't change their own oil. https://jiffylubespecials.com/services/signature-service-oil-change

    Cloud seeding.

    Super tec reason my motor is junk?

    No way, Jose. Let me ask you this, what specifically about the supertec oil do you think caused low oil pressure? Have you verified your oil pressure is actually low?

    2022 Mustang GT Oil Recommendation

    I have a coyote mustang, too. It has had 5w20 for almost it's entire life and is approaching 100k miles, now. It still runs like a top and the motor is clean as a whistle.

    Any Ghost Stories?

    Forgot this one: When my daughter was about 6, she was with me when I was renovating an old house out in the country but on the edge of a very small and old "town" of about 20 people. House was Originally built in 1890 or so. Neighbor's kids, about the same age, would come over and play with...

    Any Ghost Stories?

    I am a FIRM deliver in science and ruling out all other possibilities before calling something paranormal. I am very skeptical by nature. I don't believe 99% of paranormal stories. That said, I've had a few paranormal encounters. Lights in the sky dancing and looking like they were going...

    Discount tire only balanced the inside of the tire.

    You would think. But the last few years I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of people who specialize in professional ignorance. With degrees/certs to prove it! Not necessarily applicable in OP's case. Just a general observation

    Fail-Pro Gaskets

    Funny this thread came up. I just pulled the valve covers off my motor and noticed many of the bolts were loose on one side. I replaced this gasket about 3 or 4 years ago and it looks like the gasket had shrunk already. It was a fel pro. There is no way I left bolts loose when installing...
