    your thoughts on mandatory tipping in resturants

    If it's going to be mandatory, post it where it is clearly viewable. I've tipped on top of the mandatory tip without knowledge until I got home and looked at the receipt. I too believe that implies good service when it may not. Why not just increase your prices and pay the staff more? Is there...

    Pennz Plat 5W/30 | 12,318 miles | Chysler 300M

    You'll notice that this is a perfect comparison with M1 5w/30 EP and PP 5w/30. Numbers are NEARLY identical. It can be compared at 5K miles and 12K+ miles. Takes me back to the comments given to me by Blackstone Labs in my last UOA for this vehilce. Quote: We have found that brand doesn't...

    Pennz Plat 5W/30 | 12,318 miles | Chysler 300M

    1 quart of make-up oil No oil filter change (previously would change half way through OCI) Still using the K&N air filter (as silicon will indicate) but it doesn't seem to be increasing wear metals. It's been in for about 2 years. 95%+ highway miles Didn't feel I needed the expense of the TBN...

    Able to mix 0W20 PP with M1 just fine?

    I usually buy a case at a time (6 qts) but our crankcase only holds 5 qts. I too often have that extra quart left over. Been adding that extra quart as make-up for a while now to my 12K+ OCI with no problems. I say "Go for it!"

    Valvoline Synpower 5W-30, 9,112 mi, 04 Accord 2.4L

    Looks Great IMHO! My wife and I both run 100 miles daily (price to pay to be close to family) and these UOAs look similar to our UOAs. I've been running 12K+ on PP but put in the SynPower just the other night. Planning on running it up to the same OCI. Thanks for the reports.

    Help me interpret UOA information

    Hard to say one oil is better than another with so many variables. Comments form Blackstone from my last UOA on my 2000 300M. Quote: We have found that brand doesn't really make much of a difference in how an engine wears -- it's mostly how you drive it, and how much metal it tends to make...

    Originally Posted By: Firehawk409 I just went to the parts stores here and no rebates. You also didnt add the cost of an oil filter. In MY case I would use a mobil 1 or K&N. So add 20bucks to each figure. That makes it $45 for the PP, and $40 for the Vsyn. The EAO filter for my civic is also...
