    Kreen is kool

    I've run it for 1k miles before an oil change at the 1oz/qt, and it cleaned a bunch of carbon out of the motor and found it in the filter. No ill effects afterwards as well. Would/will use again.

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    Yep my old 91 & 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes w 3.l1 would get low 30s mpg's on the freeway and my current 07 Impala w 3.5l gets about the same but does get better city than the Olds

    Best Price for ZF Lifeguard 8, 9, or Mopar ATF?

    My buddy has a 17 Pacifica and we did 3x drain and fills with Maxlife atf last year. On the last one i added 12oz of Lubegard Red. He was having some harsher shifts and it is shifting nicely now after several thousand miles now.

    Choosing ATF for 2001 Prism/Corolla Dexron II Transmission

    M1 ATF for a recommendation. Also would consider Valvoline MV Import synthetic atf is a great fluid as well. It has Dex3 and Mercon recommendation and has worked fine in my 05 Element, 93c 1500 and f350. Was super cheap on zon but they raised the price by $14, so EP is as cheap or cheaper, both...

    Diesel oil similar to Valvoline R&P?

    If you want to try the VRP, you could put a bottle of Schaeffer EP Moly in it and it will bump the viscosity to over a Xw40 grade. Probably closer to an Xw50 as it is very thick but it also has additives and is not just a thickener like Lucas.

    Can I use Idemitsu PSF in my 97 Buick Park Ave?

    Maybe thinner, but Lubegard is excellent fluid, and I have it in my F350, Impala, Element, and my kids' Silverado. It smoothed out the notchiness in the Element and Impala, and like i said, quieted the F350. I wouldn't let the cst's sway you but good luck in your search. Keep us posted on how it...

    Can I use Idemitsu PSF in my 97 Buick Park Ave?

    Lubegard and Lubegard PS fluid have helped quiet several PS pumps over the past few years. Lastly was my new to me 94 F350s. I would use that if that is your goal. Another option is Maxlife ATF with a couple of ounces of Lubegard Red, which helped my '93 C1500s quiet it down to nothing. It was...

    What is considered a respectable HTHS?

    Nothing wrong with the 5w30 Maxlife Blend you have been running. I ran that for many years in my gm 3.1s, 4.2, 5.0 and 5.7s. Any Xw30s will run fine, if you want a very good one M1 ESP 0w30 or PP Euro L 5w30 would work very well and easily available at wallyworld

    What PS Fluid do you use?

    Lubegard or Maxlife, all I use now since Valvoline MV Import synthetic price went from $20/gal to $36/gal. Even in Honda's, Lubegard Honda power steering fluid is superior, cleaned up notchiness, and is super smooth now. The plain Lubegard did the same in my Impala and OBS F350. Quieted the...

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

    Different motors, but there is something true about Different motors like/not burning different brands. My kid had a Volvo C30, which would burn M1, Castrol Euros, but not Pennzoil Euro L 5w30. I'd change around and try a different brand. I've had M1 HMs not slow a leak but had very good success...

    Switching back and forth between oils

    It's fine I have swapped for 30plus years back and forth between whatever I have bought or in my stash of oils. The trace amount left behind is not going to hurt anything.

    When to do first ATF drain/fill?

    If easy enough and fluid isnt expensive 15k now then every 30k from here on out is a good plan. I do mine every 30k except my Honda Element i do at 15k.

    Royal purple HPS 5w30 for Ford 7.3 gas

    When the local Ford dealership replaced the 1st 7.3l longblock at work they said to run a higher zinc oil in it from now on. We had a couple (3 or 4 out of 10 7.3s that we had, can't remember exactly dont work there anymore) go bad at work from ~65k- 90k miles. Id keep oci's at 3-5k miles and...
