These have been out for awhile, and I think pretty well tested. I have them in two of my cars. Including my AW11 - My doors on the MR.2 definitely have less slope when closed. But thats likely because the original door hinges needed realigned. Can I tell a driving difference? No. - Can...

It only would have done something for the time you had it in the crank case, and given the amount of time that is, probably not a ton of cleaning would have been accomplished. It would have bolstered a depleted additive pack probably. I've bought a few used cars myself and with friends, and...

I'm running HPL EC30 at 20% in my VRP - I've noticed (I wished I photoed) a good amount of varnish removal in my 4AGE in the AW11\Mr2. I didn't know initially this would be a thing or I would have taken before photos. Coming up this year I hope to pull the valve covers to refinish them while...

Whenever I can - I inspect filters before purchase. I also make it a habit to run a paper towel over the seal and threads - they always come up dirty - then apply oil to the seal and threads to help with lubrication of the threads and the o-ring to seal. Maybe i'm nuts - but its just a few...

True, but this is also the interbutts right? Maybe people put on that face but in real life don't believe or act in that manor. Sometimes people want to be the ones that said "I told you so" - I think it's silly but to each their own provolone.

I don't shill for any corporation - you won't find that in my post history. I will say - that if Valvoline did invent some magic oil (That I have in my AW11 right now dealing with lots of varnish and build up, full disclosure) that I do understand - if the engineers can create the results...

The chain going back, I had mentioned I had wished to see BG MOA and the very commonly referenced and used here Rislone 4102, which use to be I think like 100QR or something. They simply weren't tested, thats all. It would have been interesting to see more then just the VOA that we get...

You are the exact kind of user - on why I stopped posting here after about 2010 - I watched the video, I've watched it twice. Its amazing that the Motor Oil Geek Himself talks about presenting data being one of the biggest and most critical issues on why he makes his content - to not leave...

Even if your statement is right, or wrong - it would be nice to see the numerical values, and data behind those two specifically.

I wish he tested BG MOA and the Regular Rislone not the ZDDP version. I think thats PN 4102 now adays.

I got a new to me 1987 Toyota MR2 in October of 23, I've done a ton to its lubrication system. It had a really sad life of unknown length oil changes, with what I can gather, not the best quality oil. As part of the entire regimen I've been self prescribing, I just switched out to Restore...

I have a new to me, since October of last year, 1987 Toyota MR2 with the C52 5spd, with about 111k on the clock. In October I drained a really old, black stew of gear oil from the C52, and filled back up with Redline MT90 - I was surprised to find the drain plug didn't have a magnet. Last...

Haha, thanks guys all good information. As for the tools\lock, he's a good guy he meant to replace it from when I talked to him but couldn't find it and then forgot. At least he didnt take from my oil filters! Appreciate all the feedback , i'll keep doing my research.

So i'm a guy who keeps oil in stock with my favorite filters. For my 2019 Ranger I was using RGT in 5w30. At my last oil change I went into my oil cabinet for and lo-and behold one of my buddies who was at my shop, used my RGT and didn't replace it! While frustrating I was also stocked in M1...

Looking for more information about this oil, seems like a great choice for a all around performer, I'm thinking about using this in my daily, that I also would like to track in the nicer months. NOACK at 6.1 Pour Point at -48 C \ -54 F Viscosity Index 185 Any thoughts? I don't see a lot of...
