    2021 Chevy/GMC/Cadi engines burning oil solution

    Restore & Protect sounds like a good idea! OP needs to provide more details. Oil change intervals and driving habits. Exactly how much oil per X amount of miles is being burned?

    Liqui moly 4200 vs 4600 vs M1 ESP 5W30

    I would just run any ACEA C3 rated oil in the 30 weight range. You’ll just have to pick a flavor and UOA for data. Another great oil in this category is Penzoil Euro LX 0w-30 made in Germany. It’s available on Amazon for a reasonable price. Honestly can’t go wrong with any Euro oil mentioned in...

    Liqui moly 4200 vs 4600 vs M1 ESP 5W30

    If you want Liqui Moly why not try MolyGen in 5w-30 or 5w-40?

    Does Castrol need better products or marketing?

    Well several months after this thread started. We are still waiting for Castrol Edge Extended performance Gold bottles to return to Walmart shelves. I don’t even think the ones sold occasionally online at Walmart or Amazon are the new current refreshed formulas even though that’s what the item...

    Subaru cvt fluid change

    I mean how many other CVT-3 videos are there on YouTube? That’s only the 2nd one I’ve seen. I find it valuable because it validates Amsoil’s compatibility with CVT-3. Also runs down how to accomplish it.

    Subaru cvt maintenance

    Nice video! Your the 2nd YouTuber I’ve found that’s intermixed Amsoil CVT and OEM fluid with zero issues. I’m confident the Amsoil fluid is ok. They used to not have CVT-3 on their spec sheet but I believe added it sometime last year.

    Monarch 9mm 115 grain brass case

    Made by CBC in Brazil. They produce Magtech and are the same company that owns S&B. Shot thousands of CBC Brasil made ammo. They are a NATO supplier. I believe their quality is much better than a lot of the USA made stuff.

    Commercial ammo in garands test resutls.

    I've always just shot whatever commercial ammo I could find on the shelf. Always had good performance with Remington Core-Lokt and PPU. Just picked up 60 rounds of Sig Sauer soft points 160ish grains. First thing I did when I received both CMP M1s was brand new recoil springs. Proper...

    New CLP or Lube You Are Considering ?

    Slip 2000 products are excellent! EWL, EWL 30, Grease and Carbon Killer are my favorites. Once you use them for a few range trip it sticks to the metal and all the crud just wipes right off with a rag. No more harsh chemicals needed to clean.

    24 Sierra Corrosion/ Paint issues

    The seam only runs roughly the height of the glass. I’m tempted to just paint pen it but obviously it’s worth letting the dealer come up with a solution first. I rather not void any potential warranty claims.

    24 Sierra Corrosion/ Paint issues

    Here’s a close up. Surface looks like a spider web. Maybe it’s some type of foam sealant. No idea. Got an appointment next week at the dealership. Hopefully they can do some type of clean up and touch up. Maybe they only paint the inside of the door?

    24 Sierra Corrosion/ Paint issues

    I have a new 2024 Sierra 1500 I purchased last year in November with only 8k miles currently. I noticed today my front pax door has some paint bubbling along the seam. Aside from the top and bottom blisters. There are a lot of micro bubbles along the edge of the seam. Don’t see any corrosion so...

    Why the hate for Champion plugs?

    Champion spark plugs are the spec'd plugs for over a million OMC/ Evinrude/ Johnson outboards since the beginning. Never had one let me down nor heard about it in the marine world. I recently installed a pair of champion igniters on a over $250,000,000 jet. Very uncommon to get one of those to...

    UOA- Subaru CVT-3, 37k Miles, 2021 Outback 2.5L

    It’s probably sub 6 cst. The Valvoline fluid is 5.6 I believe. I may send a virgin sample out.

    UOA- Subaru CVT-3, 37k Miles, 2021 Outback 2.5L

    Here's my UOA. Not really sure how the numbers look due to the lack of CVT-3 information out there. I submitted a request for the lab to create a CVT-3 category. Could this explain why the "total base" is missing? This Subaru is used for 4 mile round trip work commutes and personal vehicle in...

    Subaru CVT-3 Blue Fluid

    I found this post about a shop doing a CVT-3. Confirms in pics the fluid tuns teal after use. https://carbankin.com/case/atf-cvtf/forester2211/
