If your running right up against the tow capacity limit, you're already doing it wrong anyway.

How would anyone here know this?!? You're asking for rampant speculation. You're bound to get a bunch of 'I suppose' and 'I think' type answers but unless a user here is in Amazon IT it's all going to be speculation. So I suppose it's when they get to the seventh house past yours.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. A form is a particularly poor choice for this application because of how form taps work. Form taps cold form threads by displacing and cold flowing the base material into the thread profile instead of cutting it (which is why it's called forming). As...

Keeping it as a reserve is more hassle than dumping it in as a miniscule overfill.

@buster so you're saying that F1 teams are doing this?!? The whole premise of the link in the original post is around racing applications. So in that frame of reference I'm not aware of anyone who is claiming: Can you give us some frame of reference as to who is claiming this or under which...

@buster Who thinks you can slap together an oil for F1, or for that fact, any racing application? I've never heard anyone on this forum make a similar statement.

No, not really. All we know from this data is that it is not predictive of the long term health of the engine. We could have readily stated that without the UOA in this circumstance. This is money down the drain.

@DuckRyder Alldata is free at my local library. Maybe you should try yours?!?

A little heat tends to free up the gunk in the spring and ball mechanism. Or you could just replace them as you've suggested.

$85 at Grainger. Just Google the exact thing you're looking for. There are quite a few choices.

Ugh

Definitely a dry film lubricant. Anything that stays wet or tacky is going to attract dirt and grime like crazy. Ultimately that gunked up adjustment screw will shorten the life of the mechanism.

How is this CarFax's fault? Based on the content of your post, it seems that you have a bone to pick with the dealer that underreported the services completed.

If the conditions are bad enough that you think you need them, then put them on. Obviously you should respect the areas that state they are chain off areas. This really isn't that hard.

These are known to be noisy engines. I'd look to other causes rather assuming that the oil you used meets the OEM spec. Have you inspected the rocker arms?!? I'm not sure how far this class action lawsuit has progressed over the past year or so. Maybe worth looking into.

@joshuawesl does it meet the license requirements or industry standards as required by your vehicle OEM? If yes, then it's good stuff. If no, then pick something that does. The days of 'this stuff is great ' and 'that stuff is trash' opinion fests is best left to the dustbin of history and...

No we don't. This is a patently false statement. Oh brother... Please enlighten us as to why this is I think you're whole post and premise is a fool's errand. My expectation is that wheel bearings last at least 200k. That's with no maintenance and not a second thought and while living in the...

What's your current level of debt? What's you timeline? What's your risk tolerance? What's your budget? What are your goals? Without answers to these questions, the rest of the conversation is a fool's errand.

This is a wonderful comment!!!

Ok
