Boutique oil in a 23 year old Corolla seems like a fool's errand. Why pay double the price for a product that's harder to get only to put it into a 20+ year old vehicle??? Any reasonable person looking at that picture and reading OPs comments would conclude to carry on with the same regimen...

Again, it is bickering like this that makes BITOG a smaller place. If you cannot comprehend that idea that industry standard based testing is critical in order to evaluate test results, then I guess there isnt much to talk about. Cheers!

Alas, I am not your gofer. You'll need to provide your own references for your own claims. But nice try!!! Cheers!

To repeat my post #7.... I'm quite sure the rubber industry utilizes standardized testing techniques with clear criteria for what qualifies as passing and/or failing those standardized tests. As an example, you can reference some very basic ISO standards here. If you're claiming there's an...

It is bickering like this that makes BITOG a lesser place. I don't owe you any proof regarding nebulous 'rubber industry experts'. That's your gig. It is a clear logical fallacy to make a statement and then conclude that it must be true if others cannot disprove it to your liking. Refer to the...

My posts in this thread have been about a guy in his garage engaging in an uncontrolled process and nothing more. Please go back and read them for comprehension. Anything other than that appears to be your own grandiose projection. Cheers!!!

There's nothing technical in this thread. But enough infighting. Enjoy your day fellas!

LOLOL, now a strawman argument?!? C'mon man.....

Agreed. All the more reason to state or provide reference to a procedure including the passing criteria. Just because something is simple doesn't meant it isn't warranted. Standardized testing ensures tests are conducted similarly and passing criteria are well understood before any tests take...

Yawn..... this is a grade school level logical fallacy. An Appeal to Ignorance is a flawed methodology that cannot be used to justify a position. The fact that you proposed something and others may or may not be able to disprove your statement does not make the thing you proposed a true...

Why should I believe anything in that article?!?

Any 'burn test' with no standardized procedure and no predefined pass/fail criteria is just a guy smoking in the garage.

Flooded cars are just that, flooded. They are nearly impossible to return to 'like new' conditions. Be prepared for mold/mildew and electrical problems for the life of the vehicle. Warnings to evacuate the area and bring anything of value should in the run up to a storm like that should not be...

This man was the inspiration for Weird Al's 'Amish Paradise'.. I'll give him credit for that!

@Shel_B 65 years of driving must mean that you are 80+. Congratulations on your longevity. In your opinion, when is the point that you will hang it up?!?

Right, so superlative over expression like this is the kind of childish distortion that prevents reasonable discussions on the issues at hand. Congratulations.

At volume?!? Quite possibly...

If the hoses are as old as the tee is purported to be then it was time to replace the hoses anyway.

It looks like it on the underside of the bumper. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Do you have to lay down to plug this in??? Or just kneel in the dirt?
