wow. My bicycle gets flats just hanging from the ceiling rack. The OP is due for about 1,000 flat tires all one after another for the next ten years (balance of nature)

definitely NOT always true.

It doesn't always go wrong. The vehicle I bought recently was a two and a half hour drive from where I live. It was at his home, but I went with an armed accomplice JIC. I needed to change a piston and rings on one cylinder but I suspected that when I bought it so just do your homework. I...

I thought the main benefit of VRP was cleaning the engine? Seems the discussion veered toward how long oil change intervals can be?

Seems everyone (almost) and their mother wants to get their hands on VRP 10w40 right now. Valvoline is missing a grand opportunity to sell a TON of snake oil by not quickly making it available in the USA. By the time they start selling it in the USA it will have cooled off and people will be...

Sure operating the grid has costs, Utility CEOs received $3.2 billion in executive compensation from 2017 – 2022 https://energyandpolicy.org/utility-ceos-received-3-2-billion-in-executive-compensation-from-2017-2022/ Data Year: 2024 As President and Chief Executive Officer of FPL at NEXTERA...

Some electric utilities have been allowed to "compensate" for the decrease in revenue from people going solar by increasing rates and fees. Others seem to have greatly reduced the programs that pay you for unused excess electricity. In many places, if you didn't have permits and paid all the...

I can't see how solar is ever worth it if you have to pay $35k - 50k for installation on top of materials.. DIY runs around $600 per kilowatt. (or has that changes drastically?) It seems DIY install is the only way you come out ahead with solar. Just an opinion of course. That comment could...

And I see no end to it. I just had Georgia Power cut off my service to a 2nd home. I'm self installing solar even though the bastards try to make it illegal to get out of their game. I was being billed $100.00 a month for ONE LED PATIO LIGHT that only came on at dusk and off at Dawn...

It's the declining professionalism of aircraft maintenance that concerns me most.

The problem lies in a seismic shift in CULTURE. And it is irreversible. We all know this right? While proper grammar (and English usage) has traditionally been important to past generations, it no longer is. In fact, Spanish is quickly rising to become a second if not the PRIMARY language in...

Look at Post #1 It's a quote.

Ya know, no matter what answer or opinion you endorse, you'll find it on the Internet. :cool: Did you see that post above from LS1Tech? I've also seen many times during my Google search. Personally, I went into it agreeing with you.....and it made ZERO diff.

OK, So to test the theory I went and fully heated up the vehicle and drove it 5 miles and noted the engine temps and oil pressure at various RPMs and speeds. Then I stopped and removed the oil cap and then drove another 10 miles. I noted absolutely no difference in the oil pressure or engine...

Those Honda Pilots sure are peppy these days. Some members above posted what they believe are the additives. I would think they must be somewhat different or all oils would work the same, but VRP seems to clean exceptionally well. If it works for you that is great. I would like to hear your...

Well, Maybe if there was a dedicated thread to VRP that would keep it from popping up as a new thread as often? He may feel he needs info specific to his Honda Pilot. I once ran a forum and I learned that beating up newbies is not the best way to increase the community. Accommodation is key 🏁

WAG You've done it. Everyone has. I just try not to pass judgment, it's a bad thing.

Name ONE automotive topic that has not already been discussed 1000 times.....waiting.... Should we shut down the internet to new discussions based on that logic? Just personally, I like to start a new discussion of my interests in the today, here and now, regardless. Things change. Besides, if...

This somewhat contradicts the post from LS1Tech since his (or her) post only mentions the pressure acting on the oil as it leaves the bearings but does not consider the force of the pressure acting on the oil in the sump. Seems to me the pressure on the oil in the sump would significantly...

I recently bought a used Chrysler minivan circa 2000 with 157k miles on the motor. It wasn't too bad inside but there is some of that brownish coating on valve train parts etc. So instead of changing completely to VRP I used 4 quarts of my usual oil and one quart of VRP. I don't notice it...
