    Adv tire recommendations?

    I have an '04 r1150gs. I'm looking for new tires this year, for a trip out to the badlands. Im looking for long life 50/50 tires, like the heidenau k60, motoz tractionator, or the mitas e-07plus Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    2015 Subaru 2.0 Head Gasket Failure at 136K Miles

    Cadillac did it for years and years. The engines were bad for other reasons, but if you put the conditioner in there it worked fine To throw some more mud in the water, my wife's 15 Forester has been an absolute freight train. It has just shy of 170,000 mi on it and realistically tires, brakes...

    Low Oil pressure issues when cold?

    Hey guys, just a heads up, I honestly think I got it this time. Cleaning out the oil control solenoid for the vvti system has made a huge improvement in how long my oil light stays on. I just started my truck at lunch, It's currently -1 when I got to work it was -7 Fahrenheit, and my oil...

    Low Oil pressure issues when cold?

    Last year I pulled the pan and checked. Slapped it all back together and had no luck. I don't know what the total history on this truck is as I bought it used, But the bottom end of that motor was sparkling clean. Running 0w20 and 5,000 mile of oil change intervals. Wouldn't go through that...

    Ultra 1plus Dex 6

    I don't necessarily, but I also don't need The absolute best fluid this first run. I intend to change it in 10,000 MI. The only problem I have with supertech or maxlife, is that in my area Supertech is as expensive as anything else because I can't seem to find gallon jugs. I guess I don't mind...

    Excuse my ignorance, but what should the fuchs logo mean to me here?

    What oil for an LV3 V6? 2014 Silverado

    I had initially wanted to go that route. But the Walmart I went to didn't have restoring protect in 5W30. I ended up with mobil one extended performance. Hopefully next time I can try restore and protect

    What oil for an LV3 V6? 2014 Silverado

    Not all of them were, The lv1 in the Vans did not have displacement on demand That being said, in doing research The lv3 in my truck has proven itself to be much more reliable when it comes to The displacement on demand. It's very rare to hear of failures. Additionally, even though it uses...

    Ultra 1plus Dex 6

    Thanks for that, I'm sure I'm just overthinking it, and my application could really use something to act as a flush. Trucks had a hard life, and wasn't exactly cared for well.

    Ultra 1plus Dex 6

    I get that, I have no experience with them as well. Their own website uses slightly different phrasing, and sounds a lot more encouraging, as it would. https://ultra1plus.store/u1pdrive/atf-syn-dexron-vi.html It does, however, give out some average specs of the fluid, however, I don't know...

    Ultra 1plus Dex 6

    In research, I saw that their gear oils were meh, but is there anything wrong with their dex 6? I saw that tractor supply was selling gallons of it fairly cheap. Cheaper than maxlife. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ultra1plus-atf-synthetic-dexron-vi-multi-vehicule-2438968...

    What oil for an LV3 V6? 2014 Silverado

    It's based on a gen 5 ls design. Direct injection, oil squirters, aluminum block, displacement on demand, coil near plugs, the works, and it shows. It makes almost the same power as a 4.8 did The old 4.3 is related to a 350 minus 2 cylinders. The new 4.3 is related to a 5.3 minus 2 cylinders.

    What oil for an LV3 V6? 2014 Silverado

    Previous owner neglected it. The last time the oil was changed was 3 years and 1 months ago, and about 15000 miles I have no idea about the oil change before that, and without an ouiji board, I can't ask All of the fluids look like ass though

    What oil for an LV3 V6? 2014 Silverado

    Hey, So I just bought a '14 Silverado for almost nothing. (It's cosmetically totaled) The 4.3 V6 specs a 5w30, what's something incredibly cheap, that meets dexos so I can run some short ocis? I've never owned a Chevy that needed dexos, so I have no frame of reference

    Is there a best fuel additive for carburetors?

    Before I tear a motorcycle that was given to me for free apart, I'd like to try filling the carb bowls with some sort of cleaner. I know it won't work but I'm stubborn and want to try something first. Plus it doesn't hurt that the carbs are pain in the ass to remove. Is there anything better...

    Post your latest small engine oil change

    Older troy bilt 2400 series snowblower ( was a curb find. I think it's 20 years old) I ran citgo super guard high milage 0w20... Leftovers from a recent oil change. At least it's not the half quart of atf that was in it.

    2015 Tacoma 2TRFE 237k mi; Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 4.7k mil, with a mobil 1 filter

    Mechanically I'm starting to think it's the VVT system. Either the camshaft actuator or the solenoid. As far as oil pressure, last time I did it was a summertime but it was above spec at idle both cold and hot. I can't quite remember what it was but I know it was above 20 psi idle...

    2015 Tacoma 2TRFE 237k mi; Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 4.7k mil, with a mobil 1 filter

    As the title says I have a 2015 Tacoma with a 4 cylinder. I ran Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 and a mobile one filter. I ran it just over 4600 miles, just shy of the 5000 mi recommended interval. Looks like they were concerned about the iron and potassium, in the flash point is just under the spec...

    Low Oil pressure issues when cold?

    Unsure. The truck doesn't come with a gauge. I just looked it up as well, and it's a one-wire sensor so I'm 99% sure it's just an oil pressure switch, so I'm unable to even read live data. It doesn't appear to have any oil pressure issues when warm, even with 0W20, on the hottest days, so I...
