I run M1 15w50 in my 2002 BMW R1150 GS engine and REDLINE shockproof heavy in the tranny & final drive. 90cummins

After 2100 miles I can now say my 2016 xc60 tows a 1800lb v nose trailer extremely well. Early on in the trip to Texas I found it was best to manually shift the transmission to avoid engine lugging. I used the sport mode display so I could monitor engine output and shift accordingly. I...

Looks like that paper was written in 1965. Filter media and lubricants have changed significantly. That may have been true 53 years ago. 90cummins

I agree with reusing the ultra for 2 or 3 oil changes or 15,000 miles. What most don't understand is that all filters become seasoned thru use, by that I mean the filter media becomes more efficient at capturing smaller and smaller particles during use. New filters have larger pores in the...

My wife is at dealer (Mitchel in Connecticut) for 30k mile free service and they told her they use 5w30 synthetic. I feel better now. 90cummins

The engine is the turbo-supercharged version that cranks out 300hp & 300 lbft of torque. While it should move along very easily the engine will be operating at a rather high power level for hours at a time. The towing capacity is 3500lbs with s 2" ball and brakes and 1650lbs without trailer...

We have finally and officially retired and planning on Cross country travel towing a small 5X8 v-nose trailer loaded with my 2002 BMW R1150 GS and other essentials to visit our Daughter & Son. The max trailer weight will hopefully be 1500lbs but no more than 2000lbs. My concern is our new to...

The L100 Yanmar is 10hp and very smooth running. All the single cylinder Chinese diesels you see for sale are Yanmar copies. I have 3 genuine Yanmar’s they pull start very easy and they are easy the work on. 90cummins

Thank you.

I’ve used the amsoil dual bypass filter in the past and once again discovered the Frantz system. Being a total bypass system is there a restriction in the system to control Oil flow or is the (tp) filter element the restriction? 90cummins

Just purchased a 2016 Volvo XC60 with a 2 liter 4 cylinder 302HP turbo/supercharged engine. Recommended oil is 0w20 and oil change intervals are 10k miles. The oil weight & interval just doesn’t feel right to me. To top it off the oil level is electronically checked, no dip stick so I can’t...

The procedure I use when when I have a new small engine is to fill with Fill with Oil & run for 5~10 minutes then change it. The particulars that drain out will surprise you. Then refill & use it for an hour or so & drain again up to three times or until oil drains clean before I will consider...

Back in 1990 I bought a new Dodge W250 Diesel it was everything I could have hoped for and NEVER disappointed me. It always did what I asked of it, never failed me. I loved that truck but it had 1 issue that bothered me. After taking a corner the steering would not return to center, I had to...

Before oil analysis and emissions requirements there were guidelines established by Cummins to determine oil change intervals. Mileage, and for stationary/industrial applications hours of operation and/or the amount of fuel consumed based on engine crankcase oil capacity. Do you know how many...

Just received my electric bill, the cost/kw went up $0.0201 to $0.1751 from last months $0.155 for a total increase of $18.63. Looks like good timing for me to go Solar. My propane also jumped $0.55 per gallon from last fill. Ducati996

Well I signed the contract with SolarCity so the permitting process can begin. Work should start in January with the system operational by March. After many questions and additional research I realized that when the grid goes down the solar is inoperative also. I have several generators but the...

I have a customer that has 9 EU2000i’s all of which were purchased at the same time and one of them started smoking. It is used for air sample testing which requires a continuous nonstop 24 hour run. They all receive the same scheduled maintenance but this is the only one that smokes. It starts...

I’ve pondered that question for a long time. I’ve also read everything I could find on gasoline and diesel engine oils and I’ve come to this conclusion. This is my opinion! Diesel engine oils contain detergents to hold soot in suspension and neutralize acids until the oil can be replaced...
