    Interesting Hemmings Article on Oils & Additives

    LSJ.... I'm in no way a shill for him and I promise I really don't care that much, but is he actually a certified tribologist? Is it truly just self-proclaimed? I honestly don't know.

    PUP 5W-30 observations - Getting darker and burning faster than Kirkland?

    Cleaning the engine bay very regularly is the best approach

    I clean my engine bay twice a year. Mequiars Hyper dressing is a nice finishing touch. I just spray it throughout the engine bay once done cleaning and close the hood as it dries. A final wipe down helps to tame the overly glossy appearance.

    What are you working on today?

    I just installed Lasfit LED replacement headlight bulbs in my beater 2006 Honda Civic. It's just a bulb replacement, but what a game changer...
