1st class at Post Office, bottle or bottle in bag. Answer no to Q's. Several days to several weeks delivery, but cheapest, with possible exception of drop in USPS box with appropriate stamps or prepaid postage, like ClicknShip. Consider gas $ to drop off/mail location.

I have a Toto & an American Standard Champion 4. The Toto frequently requires a plunger & after around 2-3 years requires holding flush lever down till bowl empties, otherwise it leaks continuously from tank. The American Standard Champion 4 very rarely needs a plunger, otherwise no problems.

And, I reckon part of the reason for the results I have experienced with SteelShield products has to due with "Faraday reaction of like charges".

Years ago, I used some of the formulator's previous version of the product (MT-10) in a car engine & saw a noticeable decrease in operating temperature. The formulator departed that co & started another with the improved, reformulated SteelShield products. I'm running the words together here so...

For me, running Amsoil synthetic ACD 10W-30/SAE 30 diesel oil had a a more noticeable visual cleaning effect than Auto-RX.

I've tried a number of lubes, cleaners, protectants, CLP's, but I keep coming back to Weapon Shield. Haven't tried CorrosionX.

Where's the moly in Amsoil SSO 0w-30, API SM? I don't know. Was there an API SL formula with less moly? Maybe this oil is older than I thought. A previous Blackstone Lab VOA (sample date 7/15/08) of SSO, I saved from here, showed only 2 PPM moly. MY PREVIOUS UOA, with SSO, from Oil Analyzers...

Silicon level of 9 looks good to me. Which brand/model air filter? I keep considering using diesel oil, but I'm afraid I might kill the cat.

Thanks to all thread contributors, but especially to quertydude for persevering modestly to present such detailed, opposing analysis & info.

I mixed a little of their Weapon Shield in with a tank of bar & chain oil on a chain saw. The chain rotated continuously at idle, whereas before without Weapon Shield, the chain always stopped at idle. Recently, I added around 12 drops of their Weapon Shield to bar & chain oil in reservoir in a...

Lower wear metals (or trending down due to engine break in), 2.29 TBN with lighter oil---did I read that right? I think swithching my wifes car from 30 weight oil to ASM 0W-20 would better suit her crank-n-race 5-7 mile driving patterns in 94 Civic.
