Being most cars that people own nowadays make it over 250k miles, and they are started alot in that mileage range, I would venture a bet most wear occurs from not changing oil when it should be.,,,

I cut a 1 1/4 inch socket in half, to fit the oil filter cover for my wife's 2.4 chevy engine. Plus shortened wrenches to fit in tight spaces.,,

If you go to the Voa section, you can look at all the samples provided by members here, and pick one that suits what your looking for in a motorcycle oil.,,

Don't worry if the oil doesn't say "dexos"on the bottle. That only means GM says they approve using it. Oil mfgrs have to pay gm to put the word "dexos" on the bottle. There is no oil ingredient named, or called dexos. If that weight is whats called for ,use it. I use 10w40 wt in my wifes...

My wifes new to her car cost $26,000. I don't think I would dump 2-3 year old gas into a perfectly running vehicle. Beside going sour, it more than likely has condensation in it. I'd rather rebuild and clean out a lawnmower carb, than a cars fuel injection system. At this point, why not mix new...

After the 8 months is up, what is she going to do for transportation?. If it were me, I would just buy a car for her to use while she's out there ,and can still use it when she relocates to where ever.,,

19 responses, and I'm surprised nobody has asked what brand of oil the train was using .,,,

My wife has a '11 Chevy Equinox that has a rep for eating oil. When we first got it, it would use 1 qt every 750 miles. No leaks that we could find. Even the dealer wasn't going to do anything unless we wanted to pay them to rebuild the engine. My solution was to run a heavier grade oil then...

See if any of your friends have a metal detector. You might find other things you've lost , while looking for what you want.,,

There must be a ongoing competition between delivery companies. A few years ago my wife ordered 2 pairs of shoe laces online. They showed up on A Sunday morning , delivered by the US postal service.,,

When I had my '16 Voyager, I ran Kawi's oil filter with 10w40 Castrol MC oil. I don't think buying kawi's oil filter is going to cost that much more than what you would pay at a auto parts place. I'm guessing they recommended that wt oil because the engine is water cooled. The manual said that...

Like any racing team out there, having sponsors, especially one's that supply your team with free oil helps keep them in business. Put some stickers on your vehicle, wear a tee shirt with the brand your promoting, and there's one more item you don't have to buy. Will it make your vehicle run...

I couldn't get anything to play from the first post. I find it amusing that certain people that are new to something, make a video about a particular subject with little to no real world experience. But they want to persuade people on what product to use. They completely disregard what has been...

If it was my bike, I would pull the plug and clean it. Second thing, would be to check and tighten the carb and intake manifold. Sounds like it's flooding at one point, then sucking air the next.,,

Any dexos approved oil is just that, an approval from GM to put that name on a bottle of oil. There is no ingredient named dexos. If you were to use any oil that doesn't have dexos on the bottle, I guarantee you or your vehicle will not notice any difference. There is no test for dexos, so no...

Why not just run 10/40 or something heavier?.,,

I've seen new car dealers will put Nitrogen in your new cars tires for a greatly inflated price. (little pun there), The only reason I can see for using it is, it's more stable in cold weather, meaning the pressure won't drop much. Years ago I worked for a company that refilled fire...

Whatever the Api equivalent is for the oils that pay GM their fee for writing dexos on the bottle. There is no additive named dexos.,,

I worked with a guy who owned a duct cleaning business for a while. I saw first hand what was in the ductwork of peoples homes and in business's. One home that was probably 30 years old and never had a cleaning, was NASTY. Dog hair, cat hair, dust , dander, people hair, dead mice. Some people...

If you don't mix it right, to the point that it may damage your hoses, wouldn't it dissolve the wipers themselves?.,,
