    4k on first run of M1 0w40+Rislone

    Unsure. She purchased it used. The sticker showed it just being done at Valvoline, but it didn't specify the type of oil. I changed it as soon as she bought it though. I prefer to start with fresh fluids and maint throughout anytime purchasing a used vehicle. I believe they added the 3.6l...

    This is a 4k run on an '09 Vue 3.6l that a friend just purchased. Has 134k on it. This was M1 0w40 + a bottle of Rislone. Some serious carbon in this guy. Seems like a good cleaning combo.

    Does coolant in reservoir ever cycle through the system?

    Does coolant in reservoir ever cycle through the system?

    I was curious after reading a bottle of Hy-per Cool Super Coolant. I have witnessed after doing cooling system work, that the system will pull some coolant from the reservoir after running if it was completely full. I know that it will bypass the gap it pressures get to high. I just didn't...

    Does coolant in reservoir ever cycle through the system?

    Does the coolant in the reservoir ever circulate through the cooling system? Not a surge tank setup, but a radiator with cap and overflow hose that goes into a separate reservoir. Similar to this picture.

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    I have three vehicles running it right now. 189k, 212k, 54k. No problems so far. Two co-workers are running it also. No negatives to report. It seems like a good oil regardless. Runs quiet and smooth.

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    A guy who I worked with just dumped the R&P on his 2017 2.4l Equinox that just hit 100k. 3k on the oil and there was actually a pretty good amount of carbon chucks in the M1 filter. Much more than I expected to see. Must be doing something!

    Iridium plug for stihl trimmer?

    I have twelve modified 2t scooters. I've used iridium plugs in them, but it doesn't make a difference and really not worth the extra cost. Standard NGK's are the way to go.
