    Which ATF for 6L90

    I’ve used various licensed makers of Dex VI. I have never let it go black, maybe just a duller red with pan drops every 50,000 miles. It has 270,000 miles on it and still shifts fine with very little “ fuzz” on the magnet since the latest pan drop earlier this year. For the last 8 years it was...

    Ram 3500 6.4l hemi engine failure after using Fram oil filter

    I searched the net for flowrates of modern oil pumps. The modern hemi engine uses a gerotor pump as do the Chev LS engines. Melling, the manufacturer of after market oil pumps had good data on the LS engines. Basically, flow rate climbs with RPM. The stock LS engine pumps start at around 4...

    Here are pictures of two different Pennzoil products. The first one is 5w30 with no other designation on whether is conventional or not. It’s rated as SP. The second product is also 5w30 but is marked as synthetic blend. It’s also rated as SP. There were discussions earlier on whether “...

    Genuine Briggs and Stratton Intek Oil Filter

    I’m planning a change the oil and filter for a friend on his Craftsman riding mower with an Intek engine. I decided to get an actual B&S filter since it’s not my mower and he’s paying for it. The filter is a 492932S. I ordered it on Amazon and it arrived from Tipperary, Ireland of all places...

    Cleaning the engine bay very regularly is the best approach

    I get why folks want a new looking engine bay but I just focus on cleaning the top of the battery, the air cleaner housing, the top of the fuse box, and the brake fluid reservoir.

    Cheapest version Supertech

    Even the Super Tech “ Conventional” is “ SP”. For another $2.50 you can get Full Synthetic. I use rebates to get Pennzoil Platinum for the same price, but without rebates Super Tech is a great deal in a world of increasing lubricant costs.

    Who here double times their oil filter?

    I use a Fram XG 10060 or a Canadian Tire version of a Champ XL, and go 10,000 miles total for the filter and change the oil in the pan at 5,000 miles. That’s nothing since the filter is rated for 25,000 miles and my OLM goes at 10,000 miles. I leave filter in place without disturbing it and the...

    Ram 3500 6.4l hemi engine failure after using Fram oil filter

    We need to define a few parameters. I’ll let the Hemi experts chime in. On a 6.4 Hemi, where is the oil pressure sensor mounted. ( the one that indicates the pressure on the dash board. )

    Ram 3500 6.4l hemi engine failure after using Fram oil filter

    Puzzling. First the louvers would have to be defective ( closed). Secondly the bypass would have to be defective. The XG10060 is one of of my go to’s. I take it this one is the latest design with the new media?

    GM aborting move to 0w-40

    Nothing much here. A secret US auto worker bad mouths a Mexico based manufacturer. Yawn. Let’s get those cranks mic’d and compare them to the specs. Otherwise it’s just finger pointing.
