Bought it a few months ago and used on both of my Hondas. Very easy to use, brake bleeding is a breeze now

Very low TBN for just 700 miles run, lower than quoted on SDS viscosity, fairly low fuel dilution

I’ve installed radiant barrier this year (in February) and it really helped lowering the attic temps. I’ve seen the drop of ~15-18 degrees. Similar to your house, evaporator and ductwork is in the attic, seen much better AC performance this summer with lower attic temps. I’ve used Attic Foil...

I did, yes

As a part of investigation for tapping noise/knock my Civic developed, drained Quaker state 5w30 I had in the sump for roughly 725 miles. Figured someone might be interested to see how the additive package looks.

Just looked at my maintenance records, 18 oil changes, all done by myself. Not once I’ve changed it based on the MM. three ~7k “extended” intervals with Amsoil (all highway miles), and the rest 3-4k miles. 5w30 since 10k

Yes, it’s still there with the clutch pedal depressed. Transmission has it’s own “idle running sounds” but at least it doesn’t change and I’m used to it. I’ve been using Fram Ultra since around 10k miles. Usually run it 2-3 OCI since I change oil every 3-4k miles (after I finished “extended”...

These engines are very “noisy” by design. My first Lada I’ve learned how to drive a car had quieter engine. I’m at the point where I’m not sure how to proceed . I’ve taken it to a mechanic that states it’s the high pressure fuel pump and they get a lot of these. Take it back and have them do...

I thought it was NOT intermittent (at least ever since I’ve definitively noticed it). One thing I just remembered that I’ve originally left out, is that roughly 10-12k miles back last year, I was sitting in the car in the parking lot waiting for my kid’s swim practice, and noticing this very...

My Honda pilot has piston slap I believe. It goes away once the car is to operating temp (been like that since brand new, compared to a few brand new pilots and they all did the same). So, something’s changed since yesterday. I’ve changed the oil, my tank was empty and I refilled with premium...

Frequency increases with rpm increasing, and completely disappears after 1,200-1,300 rpm. But it sounds the same as far as the “loudness” goes

Here it is. In person it doesn’t sound more pronounced. Not sure if the video reflects that

Polaris labs are quick. Here’s the result (QS Ultimate 5w30). Not sure what to think

For some reason oil in this engine gets this “dirty” pretty much instantly. Few years ago I slightly overfilled and had to pull the excess through the dipstick tube after driving 30-40 miles. Oil was black

Drained the oil, no shavings, flakes or large metal particles. Collected a sample and headed to the lab to drop off the same…

5w30 since 10,000miles

Those large chunks are NOT from the oil filter I took off, just debris in the pan. I’ll clean the pan, drain the oil and collect a sample for UOA (not sure if this would be helpful at all)

Nothing in the filter. Pleats are clean with no flakes or chunks of metal

High pressure fuel pump. No knocking when revving up (or at least I can’t hear it). Here’s the noise I’m chasing (not the injectors firing, but the knocking in the background, low frequency)

I’ve been trying to figure out the tapping/knocking noise while idling I’m hearing on my civic (took it to Honda, they said it’s the HPFP), and decided to pull the filter off and open it up (waiting on the cutter to come in). I’ve changed the oil around 700 miles ago, filter was in service for...
