Had a good laugh from this April 1957 Popular Science article about engine sludge, was Du Pont actually a snake oil company back in the day; https://books.google.ca/books?id=UCEDAAA...dge&f=false

37-ML-90633-ML- Belongs in fuels and additives.

Thanks fellows, I tracked down a product available locally; QS Synchron Ultra Premium EP Grease, now renamed QS Full Synthetic EP Grease, product no: 5063-365 but with the same properties as on the following data sheet including an operating temp range from -54C to +177C...

Another grease which looks interesting is AeroShell Grease 22 with a working temperature range from -65C to +204C; http://www.shell.com/static/ca-en/downloads/shell_for_businesses/oils_lubricants/5-12.pdf What is Micro-Gel thickener and how would it stand up for long term wheel or axle bearing...

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions as to some Arctic grade Lithium soap based axle bearing greases for a Nissan Pathfinder good to about -55 C and without Moly additives. Castrol Braycote 610 is about the one I've found so far which looks interesting...

I'm leaning toward using 300V 5W-40 Motul oil and was wondering if others have tried this one and have some backup info UOA's as to how it stood up. It would be good to know if the oil has sufficient detergents to keep the engine clean over about a 5000 - 10,000 mile run. Thanks. .

Who are these guys and are their products any good; http://www.bgprod.com/products/engineoil.html .

Originally Posted By: JHZR2 I wouldnt worry about it. No offense, but neither of your engines are worth fretting about compared to the waste of oil from refilling and re-draining; and neither will self-destruct from having even 20% used oil. Its part of the design constraints of the engines...

Thanks for helping keep the thread on track MB. My question is specificaly about the Amsoil engine flush and not about other flushes in general. I think that Amsoil trys to excel at providing good products so has the Amsoil engine flush been chemically engineered to a higher quality than some of...

Originally Posted By: wcbcruzer It would be scary if you got 100% of the oil out. Cause then when you go to start it, there will be NO oil coating your internal engine parts. Lol dude, we are talking about 100% oil replacement, have another beer for me though. :) .

Thanks, I'm thinking more in terms of keeping ring grooves free of coke buildup rather than general sludge. As I have been looking at using M1 0W-40 and from some reading PAO based oils are said to build harder coke deposits which may tend to accumulate I'm wondering if there would be an upside...

Do any use Amsoil engine flush product regularly, I'd like to hear of practical use experiences of the product. Thanks. .

From reading, oil changes in most engines will only replace 80% to 90% of used oil. Any management strategies to get to as close as possible to 100% new oil after each change cycle, power flushes, a double oil change with the second oil change after 50 miles etc, thanks.

A bit further on the 'Matic S' or Matic Synthetic ATF fluid; the 11 liter pails available in Canada don't have a Nissan part number and aren't supplied by Nissan although it has Nissan written approval to the dealerships for use in any transmissions requiring Matic-J or K. Talking with an...

The local Nissan dealership parts guy tells me that Matic - S (for synthetic) has been out for awhile, comes in 11 liter pails, costs about $135 in Canada and is for use in the transmission flush machines but can be sold to the public as well. Interesting that it doesn't show up in the latest...

New for 08 Pathfinders and likely for a number of other of their vehicles Nissan states in the manuals that Dexron VI may be used as a replacement fluid in the power steering system.

I spoke to rep from Idemitsu last week about ATF's who the rep said is the exclusive blender of Matic-J for Nissan, I'm surprised he didn't mention a new replacement ATF. http://www.idemitsu-usa.com/

Thanks, Redline, RLI and Amsoil aren't really easy to find here so I'll likely give M1 a try as it is readily accessible. I'll post some in use wear and shear numbers to show how it stands up in comparision to the Matic-D factory fill.
