    It costs 8 bucks here at Napa. Surprisingly the motor oil saver costs more than the mos2.

    Mossberg 30-30 lever action. Ammo jamming

    Thanks 2cool. K. The rifle was hanging up for the first 3-4 boxes of ammo I ran thru it. Today none hung up. It's strange. I'm thinking maybe that marinecote finish might have been too thick so the rounds hung up on discharge however now after running a few hundred thru it it's smooth as...

    Diamonds and graphite?

    2014 HD Road King - Valvoline Mcycle Syn 20w/50

    Harley's catch a lot of heat from guys who ride other brands. Til I bought mine I was one of those Harley naysayers. My 1100 v-star was a fantastic bike. Basically maintenance free. However after riding the street Bob I bought I just can't go backwards. It's exactly where I want it for power...

    MOS2 or Bardahl turbo protect

    I don't have a turbo engine however I suggest emailing liqui-moly before using a solid lubricant in a turbo application. Mos2 is great stuff and I use it in everything I own. I don't have a turbo though except my forklift. I used a can of mos2 in it once. Saw no difference in fuel consumption...

    Car 'suddenly' consumes a lot of oil since last OC

    Before buying parts just go back to whatever you were using before. See if consumption decreases. Sometimes switching brands causes consumption. It will stop eventually. I had this happen when going from pennzoil to M1. It's not brand specific. It can happen with any brand when switching...

    Mossberg 30-30 lever action. Ammo jamming

    Hey guys I picked up a couple of rifles this week. An sks and a mossberg lever action 30-30 win. I've run 3 boxes of federan120 grain hollow point thru it so far and a box of fusion 170 grain and there's a slight catch to the bullets loading up into the barrel and ejection. The brass at the...

    Heavier weight oils for consumption during winter?

    A 15w-40 will pump fine at -25c. Does ms get that cold, Is it possible your rings are coked up? That would cause consumption. A piston soak with mmo would clean them up. And liqui-moly motor oil saver added to the oil will also help clean the rings. To soak the pistons I suck the mmo in via...
