LSJr I think has engrained the term oil shearing into people’s minds and very seldom does he mention that it’s 9.9 out of 10 times due to fuel dilution. I see it so much on other forums, facebook groups, and in Youtube comments.

This on particular is a one way breather to let pressure out not in. I see no point in it but was curious to what the benefits would be… which seams few and far between lol.

More so speaking on something pictured below. Not a PCV breather, I have a catch can on my truck which replaced the OEM PCV and I will say I have caught a lot of gunk over the last 16k miles.

Looking through search here on BITOG and could not find any *newer* information on this topic regarding newer cars pushing high horsepower/high boost so wanted to make a post. Could anyone school me on the purpose of these crankcase breather that replace the oil fill cap? Seen a claim that...

I had this done on my 5.3. From speaking with the tech that did my DOD/AFM delete said no chips or tunes will do it. you will need to do the full kit with Tuner...

Based off this latest report I think 5-6k is the sweet spot. That being majority hwy use. Was the 2nd report at >4K mostly city driving, stop and go?

Just took a pic of mine too haha

42 idle hours in this GA summer heat to let the truck cool down for the kiddo is most likely contributed to this.

Thanks! Yes, I am super pleased with this first run. Over this 8.5k oxidation is up +7 over VOA? Where do you draw the line regarding oxidation to tell the oil is spent? I remember @Hohn posted somewhere his personal preference is around +13 over VOA. Does Nitration play a role in oil being...

Here is my latest UOA on my 2025 Ram 1500 with the I6 3L twin turbo Hurricane SO. My last reports using Kirkland 0w-20 are HERE. This is the HPL PCMO 10w30 VOA Below is my report. Oil in service for 8,500 miles, 15% OLM, May-July. Total miles on truck are 16,000. Nothing really stands out to...

new here huh? Kidding lol definitely a good oil to stock up on. There are plenty of posts regarding increasing prices so this thread may get locked. Search is your friend here. Enjoy it🍺

2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane 16,000 miles OCI: 8,500, in service March - July 15%OLM Out/OFF: HPL PCMO 10w30 & Microgard Select IN/ON: Same

Numbers look fine compared to my first OCI at 1500. Unsure on the potassium note tho..smarter members may have some insight there. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2025-ram-1500-hurricane-sst-7-3k-kirkland-0w-20-3-9k-mi-used-oil-analysis.406620/ Numbers should drop drastically. I...

Yup. I left the filter on and have another round of AC in. After I run another 6k in my wife’s car I will check the filter again (9k total in service miles with Mobil 1 Advanced Clean). Again, will prove nothing but I still think it will be a cleaner filter than Valvoline Restore and Protect...

I wouldn't count out the vast amount of knowledge in BITOG. If you go through the trouble to do all of the testing you say and post it here, the people will surely view it and be appreciative of it, and others will just say it's a waste. Its your time/money do with it as you please;) (y)
