If I were to use any run in additive, it would be this: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=121&pcid=21 Don't overdue it. You don't have to use the whole bottle. It really has a lot of ZDDP......There is a chart on the page to get the PPM you need.

I would not do this to an engine of mine.......But the only oil I would try it with would be Mobil 0W20EP.

When they deny the claim because they attribute the damage to low oil level, how do you win that argument?

Thank [censored] for small favors.....

More load on the alternator, and the thermostat will run a bit more closed, similar to running in a colder temperature......So mileage will suffer. But it will not harm anything else, in the short term.

I believe that solenoid packs often fail because they get loaded up with magnetic particles. It wasn't the fluids fault, but the flushing got those particles disturbed and moving. Enough of them collected on the electromagnets in the solenoid pack to kill it. Would it have happened anyway...

Originally Posted By: Trav You may be dealing with an installation failure not the seal. I would use a Toyota seal but the crank may need a sleeve installed (easy and cheap) and high tack sealer applied to the outside of the seal. If there is any doubt use a sleeve, a rear seal is one of those...

Flywheel mass makes idle much smoother. But I guess that is a "Drivability" issues, as well. Getting a manual transmission vehicle moving with an extra light flywheel requires a lot of clutch slippage.

If you want to save money, just use Mobil 1 15W/50. It has plenty of zinc, and does not have friction modifiers. In fact, when it has been compared to the motorcycle specific Mobil 1, it is almost indistinguishable. My Wallyworld just started carrying it in the 5 quart jug again.

I am not brand loyal, but I do tend to continue to use specific products that have worked well for me. I use Mobil 1 in 0W/30 AFE and 5W/30 in my cars and trucks. I use 15W/50 Mobil 1 in one of my motorcycles, and I use Delo 5W40 or Rotella T6 interchangeably in the other. I have found Redline...

For snow duty, the best are anything German, and Subaru. Personally, I am too old to want to maintain a German anything. So I have a Subaru. Not nearly as fun, but a whole lot less work.
