If my job was in marketing and I had accepted I had no soul yet was still going to hell, as is lol

Lol I just noticed that. It means nothing.

It's also interesting they say 100%. When is ANYTHING 100%? I think their out is by saying "based on adapted sequence IIIH testing". I guess it's all "the implication". Nevermind. They say "up to 100%" which is meaningless. Gotta love marketing. I'll see myself out

Yep, like I said. It's interesting it's been accepted that it helps oil consumption and varnish without those specifically listed as features of the product. I can see the 'it's worth a shot' aspect though. For all I know perhaps it regrows hair and cures ED.

Genius by Valvoline. Desperate or curious owners of oil burners put 5 quarts of Valvoline in, engine burns 1 quart, go buy one more quart of Vavoline, burns another quart, buy another quart of Vavoline, burns another quart. Time for an oil change. Valvoline says it might take 4 oil changes. Buy...

The IRS has a space mission to start mining lead from the Moon. It's Top Secret but I know A Guy.

Ackchyually the Seahawks lost with 2:02 left. And there was a series after the interception. Objectively one of the better Super Bowls as well.

So you're saying there's 300 miles on the oil 😆

Speaking of analyes, Blackstone is raising prices of non-TBN reports from $35 up to $40 next month. It's pretty solid an oil change with a filter is on par with a UOA.

"Mikeduf's Oil & Buff"

Are time based OCIs only to mitigate contaminants like fuel dilution, water and/or oxidation due to engine design and/or less than ideal driving habits?

Mobil 1's shelf life recommendation is 5 years, just use it in a 2025 oil change.

Is it a valid conclusion oil burners would have more wear due to needing to add new oil? In say an engine that holds 5 qts but burns 1 qt/1000 miles, at 5000 miles there would be 10 qts of new oil exposure. Or is it buffered so a non-issue. Also is there data somewhere that would say exceeding...

As far as Restore & Protect goes, it advertises cleaning deposits and while carbon deposits and varnish deposits are both deposits, oil advertising in general usually separates varnish as its own thing. Restore & Protect's advertising focuses solely on piston and ring carbon deposits. I think...

By varnish do you mean varnish that's on surfaces or varnish that would be on/inbetween the rings?

New tires today?

It occurred to me earlier today the mods should sticky this info AND the oddities of ordering to not just the PCMO forum but HDEO, Euro, Motorcycle, etc. I'm not joking. HPL is a sponsor after all and it seems the mod team wants to help them as much as possible. Maybe that sticky privilege costs...

My replies are just that, replies in a conversation with various members. I assume unless their name is Dave they are forum members not HPL employees or representatives. Maybe I've been 'talking' with some without knowing it. If I've hurt someone's feelings I would apologize but I've been...

I can't say I'm a fan of 'we do it this way because we've always done it this way. Get used to it' when 'this way' is dumb as rocks. I realize the companies aren't going to change, just voicing my opinion in an online forum like people are wont to do.
