Isn't that a two stroke oil?

I received 2 quarts of it the other day. I think I'll use it in my next two oil changes and see how it does.

But oil is not oil?

I guess the same could be said of engine oil.

I wonder if the fact that those valve covers and heads living exposed to the air stream on a motorcycle contributed to less varnish formation from running much cooler than an engine under the hood of a car. I'm as shocked anyone actually rides a Boss Hog that much, I thought they were pretty...

Is that one quart of flush and 4 quarts of oil in an engine that takes only 5 quarts? Or do I need to calculate a ratio based on a 6 quart capacity?

I read enough of the thread to convince me so I just ordered 2 quarts. I'm going to do a LiquiMoly flush at my next oil change and follow that up with a quart of HPL Engine Cleaner in the fresh oil. I'll change the filter at one and two thousand miles as you suggest. It'll be interesting to see...

My 2011 Equinox OLM originally didn't call for a change for 10,000 miles. After a few oil change cycles my engine began using a lot of oil and rattling on start-up. Chevrolet rebuilt my engine under warranty and reprogrammed my OLM. It calls for much more frequent oil changes now.

Question: Will a fuel system cleaner, with PEA, have a meaningful impact on reducing the clogging up and sticking of oil control piston rings? I have a 2011 GM 2.4 Ecotec with 142k miles in an Equinox that is known to be prone to excessive blow by, none yet, due to sticking rings. I want to be...

That's all true. It all comes down to which features best suit the person carrying it. My wife carries a j-frame revolver because she resists practicing shooting and struggles with a can opener. I believe for most concealed carriers the advantages of a semi-auto are moot and they are in fact...

I know, right? I don't dispute it's the best oil there is but is it THAT much better than second best for those of us not driving a Masseratti? Then there's the question of changing cheap oil sooner vs expensive oil at longer intervals being better for your engine. I'm in the shorter interval...

As I suspected, your Dad hides the good stuff when you come over.

Extreme Defenders because Shootingthebull410 on Youtube says it's the best 380. There's plenty of rave reviews for other calibers on YT as well. I carry it in 9mm and 38 Special as well.

Simpler manual of arms. Don't have to learn to clear jams. No magazine to accidentally drop. No safety to forget to disengage or accidentally engage. Easy to see when loaded or not. Safer long heavy trigger. Shrouded hammer models can be fired from the pocket.
