    Valvoline EP 0w-20, 4368mi, 18940mi on '22 Subaru Forester Wilderness 2.5L NA DI

    Results: preventive IVC with each oil change since new

    Valvoline EP. I'm probably just going to opt for the walnut shells at 60k miles or something like that. The more I think about it, the more I'm a little disappointed, but again, I didn't have unreasonable expectations.

    Results: preventive IVC with each oil change since new

    I bought a Subaru Forester new in 2022, and I wanted to see if running IVC at regular intervals from the beginning would prevent or slow carbon build up. I couldn't see anywhere on YouTube or anything like that where it had been done in that capacity. It doesn't look like IVC does much once the...

    Mobil 1 0W-40 in both my Foresters.

    I've got a UOA going out for my NA 2.5 in my sig below (Valvoline 0w-20 EP). We'll see how that goes. Mostly curious about fuel dilution, but my work commute is 20mi on the interstate so I see decent periods where oil is fully up to temp. Hoping it will be a non issue.

    Heat Wave in Texas

    Not to push semantics here, but the heat wave has been there for a few days. Central Texas had many records broken a couple days ago, including an all time record of 114F in San Angelo.

    Road tripping. Which type are you?

    Gonna threadjack with a short story. About 7 years ago, we were headed to NC beaches for a week, and we stopped at a fast food place. My daughter was about 14months old at the time and we had a Tacoma. One of the great things about a tailgate is changing a diaper on it...perfect level. Well...

    Ford Ranger 1991 4x4 resale value

    That old of a Ranger with the 4.0L V6 in good shape might bring a pretty good demand. A buddy of mine got $12k from a clean 92 Sonoma with the 4.3L V6.

    Long periods of idling. How bad is it for a modern engine?

    With DI, aren't you exacerbating fuel dilution with lots of idling? Or is that engine older/port injected?

    It will take more than the current forecasted rain for the week to shed the drought status in this area.

    Updated US Drought monitor

    It's going to rain today, but Cleveland has not had rain in 21 days. Very unusual for a stretch that long in this part of the country -- in any season.
