Unless I'm mistaken, I think he's basing his comments on the KRL test results. Some info for those learning like me: CEC L45-A-99 - The KRL Tapered Roller Bearing test is becoming the test of choice of many OEM’s around the world, as it is considered the most severe and offers the best...

@jia_di is the one who sold me the oil. He's a teacher, motivating his students to be interested in lubrication and his side hustle is running a distribution company called "Motor oil Society" (which does not ship outside of his country at this time). If anyone has tough questions for him, I...

Interesting how just a little bit of PPD brings GTL to the same pour point as PAO 8 For the CVT fluid I got, it's: -0.4% PPD -86% GTL -17% additive

I recently ordered 18 liters of CVT fluid from a foreign producer who makes it using GTL and an AN. Unless some of the posts I read on their oil forum are incorrect, it seems GTL is better for transmission fluid: Translated comments: Viscosity index is higher than red line. CCS is lower...

Consider doing a drain and fill, maybe even two.. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/cvt-uoa-taken-before-honda-hr-v-transmission-failure.368942/ The UOA taken before my CVT failed showed potential dirt in the oil and a high acid number. In my case, a single drain and fill wasn't enough...

Changing to Green CC was a noticeable improvement I get a rush when putting it in tiptronic because sometimes, it feels like butter. I've never experienced smooth shifting like this in any automatic some relevant info

I want to say you have guts using additives but your mileage speaks for itself. Someone recently sent me a few pages about CVT additives. I have no knowledge in the subject but they say at the bottom low ratio friction coefficient is the most important. Shift restore mentions a friction...

I wouldn't say this specific UOA was semi-tainted as: -It was a new transmission with a fresh fill of oil -Official procedure is to only get half out. So far, I haven't heard of anyone deviating from it. Data wouldn't be comparable to others otherwise. -The viscosity level of the oil, at the...

Driving the car in a spirited manner shouldn't be considered abuse but apparently, it puts more strain on the fluid than if it was driven more gently. Honda HCF-2 went from 7.06cSt to 6.3 cSt in under 6k miles on a new transmission. I've done 16k miles since then and have a UOA of red line CVT...

https://www.lkqonline.com/ Ended up finding some great deals here if anyone is interested in used OEM. Extended warranties on the parts are also sold.

It's tough to figure out if it's better as the noise ended up being a mount. My new mechanic said problems are rare with Honda differentials so if true, OEM should be up to the task. The first line from the product sheet suggests it might be better: Only thing I've noticed is the pour point...

2016 HR-V Out: Honda dual pump II In: Ravenol DPS Fluid Called two dealers and was told fluid was back ordered. I’ve got a bad humming noise from the diff area when driving at speeds of 50-75 miles / hour.

#3/4 I'm guessing it's slight wear then from driving the car hard when the cleaner was present. Looks like blackstone has higher averages for this engine: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2009-bmw-336xi-n54-3-0l-castrol-edge-0w-40-4k-mi-oci.335337/ 9ppm every 4000miles...

-Cleaner had a good dose of additives in it which I did not expect. The high amount of boron is similar to blue restore gen 1 (236ppm). I had noticed the car was extra quiet and couldn’t figure it out. It’s too bad other oils don’t see a high dose as I noticed the same effect with blue...

Cleaner was in use for the last 300 miles (2% concentration)

I think you're thinking of rubber care by Aero Cosmetics https://washwax.com/search?q=rubber+care&options%5Bprefix%5D=last Water based like 303 but stays on for a longer time after it rains. Before putting the summer tires away for the season, I washed them and applied the product to the...

Recently took a risk trying out these ethanol fire starters with a bulk order. I go through a ton between the wood stove and charcoal chimney so the gamble paid off. Went looking for something better because: -The sawdust/wax ones didn't burn hot enough if the wood wasn't dry. -The brand OP...
