Ironman_gq's oven chain lubricant recommendation is a good one. A PAG fluid with suspension grade graphite would be a good start. Another thought would be a water soluble PAG with a small amount of water and suspension grade graphite. The carriers will volatilize cleanly leaving the graphite as...

Any year in the 1960s Jaguar XKE convertible

I have BPH. I take Tamsulosin and Life Extension Ultra Prostate Formula. I was peeing 4-6 times per night. Now that is down to one time occasionally twice. My PSA has been running at 0.5 or 0.6 for several years.

The Bruce Lee toss was good but I like Zoe Bell's response. She's one of Tarantino's regulars. I love when Cliff takes on the Manson crew while tripping on LSD. Great movie...The KG was an oil-leaking bomb.

Not a Vertigo style thriller but an alternate history of the Mason-Tate story; Once Upon A Time In Holywood."

Not only can you have incompatibility with thickeners. There can also be incompatibility with base fluids, additives and proportons of grease blends. It's really an issue of grease incompatibility. Never assume that thickener compatibility charts are correct. Often they're wrong or even...

Netflix is building a big "production campus" in Tinton Falls in central NJ. They purchased the Fort Monmouth site, I'm sure to a star then.

Looking at the question theoretically and not taking into account real life changes to the oil caused by use, viscosity loss due to shear would probably result in loss of HTHS viscosity in addition to kinematic viscosity at 40 and 100°C. Looking at it from a more realistic perspective, in real...

5-7 micron limit is for ICP and is usually considered to be normal rubbing wear. Other analytical methods will detect up to about 25 microns. PQI allows estimation of particle to an unlimited size. EDXRF quantifies total wear regardless of particle size. Analytical ferrography allows for large...

The plural of "dufus" is "dufuses" or "dufi." It can also be spelled "doofus." (y)

You would get better water washout resistance with a #1 and improved (over an MPG) friction by using a lower base oil viscosity. As I've said before, bearing speed is more than RPM. Bearing size must also be considered in determing if a bearing is really operating at high speed. Any idea what...

Most gasoline lines are reinforced nitrile a.k.a. NBR. EPDM is usually used for radiator hoses. EPDM is not hydrocarbon (gas, oil, diesel, etc.) resistant.

Kramer was the ASSMAN by a NY DMV mix up. The real ASSMAN was a proctologist who removed Fusili Jerry from Frank Costanza'a keister.

Is that Pablo Picasso's car?

A little different than the 1965 2-door Buick Wildcat hardtop I had. It was canary yellow with a black leather interior and a 365 c.i. motor with an automatic trans.

I say go for the experience. If you're worried about the noise and your hearing, don't go. I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top at the PNC Art Center in NJ this summer. It took four days to get my hearing back but what a show.

Why would an SAE 30 contain "lots of VIIs in it"? It can be made with straight base stock and no VII. Rotella T1 SAE 30 has a VI of 101 (PDS). It likely contains base oil, DI package and maybe additional PPD.

Google JASO 4T_EV_List. It list JASO registered oils. There are other non-registered oils as well.

This is primarily base fluid which is a combination of base oil plus liquid or solublized additives including red dye. There may be a small amount of soap that became diluted and was carried with the base fluid as it migrated from the grease.

Amazon sells a 500 mL syringe with a 28" tube with a 9mm OD.
