    Any VOA requests?

    @53' Stude Just in case you were planning on this one, I just took a VOA sample of Delo XSP 5w/40. Haven't had a chance to send it in just yet but will likely get it out on Monday. I know several people here stocked up on this oil during the AAP blowout & the Chevron rebates currently going...

    2012 GMC Canyon 2.9 Vortec 77,504mi on vehicle About 2.5k miles on oil Last couple UOA’s came back with high silicone & high iron wear. Replaced air filter, took air inlet tubing apart to try to find leak & reassembled. Decided I’m not going to refill with HPL until the dirt intrusion is...

    ‘14 F150 FX4 6.2 73.3k mi Out: supposedly Motorcraft 5W/20 with FL-820S filter In: HPL PCMO 5W/40 with Fleetguard LF16002 Before everyone flips out on the 5/40 over 5/30 or 5/20, wife’s car uses same oil so it’s on hand & easy. Also not like a 40 is unheard of in the 6.2.

    Havoline now API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A

    Chevron has several internal rules about bribery, kickbacks, etc... When I was there (left in 2016) they went pretty far above & beyond what the law holds corporations to about "incentives". Granted, the majority of the training was focused on international business practices but there were...

    Havoline now API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A

    Chevron has some really talented engineers working for them. I used to work for them in their CPEM (Chevron Power & Energy Management) division at the founding of that division. One of my combustion turbines had a varnish issue. Chevron sent out engineers to assist. They ended up coming up with...

    Post your latest small engine oil change

    Have the same generator. Kept reading online about how slow the drain tube is. I ran the unit in man for a few minutes then drained through the tube rather quickly. Went back with synthetic 5W/40 though since it gets pretty hot here.

    Oil for Kohler 20RCA generator - says fully synthetic API 5W-30 rated SG SH or SJ

    I use HPL HDEO Cold Climate 5W-40 in my air cooled 18kW Generac. Calls for a 5W-30 but the CC HPL flows really good & I prefer running a 40 over a 30 in air cooled engines that see >110 summer temperatures. Also run this oil in lawn mower, classic bronco & will likely be running it in an F150...

    Ford F-150 shifting in to 1st gear at highway speeds

    That's the 6R140 I believe, not the 6R80. Hadn't heard of the SD transmissions doing this but doesn't surprise me either.

    Embargo is still active for the US but Canada should still be importing. China took over Habanos S.A. a few years ago & adjusted world pricing points to the Hong Kong market (most expensive in the world) so prices are through the roof right now. Pricing alone will cause many shops to stop...

    Most stringent HDEO spec?

    He's Swedish. I worked in Gothenburg over the winter of 95-96. Plenty of highly skilled professionals there but humor wasn't one of the skills most possessed. Unless, of course, there was copious amounts of fire water consumed but then we all think we're comedians.
