I personally wouldn't want to buy until this (LED) had been out a little longer at the consumer level. The prices will likely drop. I have a big screen plasma in the living room and a smaller LCD for the bedroom, the plasma is hands down the best picture. Both have seen decent price drops in the...

VR-1 available as straight 30wt, 40wt and 10W-30 plus the 20W-50,maybe available in others I haven't really looked as I always used the 30wt or the 10W-30. I think the M1 5W-40 is a decent range for most of the older V8's, I'm switching over to this (besides ZDDP) because I run it in my diesel...

I have '67 mustang with mild cam. I've been running Valvoline VR-1 which has plenty of ZDDP, I'm gonna switch to M1 5W-40 Turbo Diesel which has plenty also it will also allow for longer intervals 1 year in my case. I don't drive it much, but I don't like leaving the VR-1 over 6 months or so...

Valvoline VR-1 is a good choice, I ran this for about a year in my '67 mustang, I will be switching over to M1 5W-40 turbo diesel when I get it back from the paint shop. Neither one of these need additional ZDDP, their both in the 1300 area. The VR-1 should probably be changed every 6 months or...

The heat will be generated regardless of a car color, unless they legislate that the sun can't shine on certain days. Point being the heat will be generated and absorbed regardless whether it be a building, roads, trees, etc. Is black (dark) colors going to be outlawed altogether? Total waste of...

Originally Posted By: cronk RTV is an adhesive sealant, it does not need to be sandwiched to make a seal. Why spend big money on a pan drop for an older car.

Hazardous is referring to NFPA ratings. All chemicals are required to be rated. Based on flammability, reactivity, and health. You could sit next to a gallon of open oil and nothing much will happen, whereas being around benzene (health concerns) or calcium carbonate (reacts with water)the same...

Bi-Tron is in the background where the guy in labcoat is shown. There is a website on thhat stuff, I thought it was even discussed before?

Compressed, stationary gaskets would be highly unlikely to be fixed by an additive.

In general, people use to confuse M1 T&SUV with M1 Turbo Diesel Truck, I personally think mori is right, the TSUV was never Delvac 1 rebadged, the turbo diesel highly likely could be.

I wouldn't waste money on Auto-Rx.I would go with the least expensive oil and maybe some MMO to help thin the thick stuff out and faciltate getting a better drain. The gray goupy stuff indicates water/oil mixture forming an emulsion. Additives don't fix stuff like that.

Your link is wrong, that is to Mobil Clean High Mileage, it should be to Mobil 1 High Mileage, which is indeed SL rated, not SM. M1 10W-30 High Mileage Originally Posted By: Peter_Pan Originally Posted By: 1999nick Exactly why I now use Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W30 in my 2005 Pathfinder 4.0...

I am using Valvoline VR1 in my 67 mustang (flat tappet), I may switch to Mobil 1 5W-40 Turbo Diesel once I get a few miles on it, it runs around 1200 - 1400 ppm

Depends on make/model whether it is calibrated for syn or dino, at least with GM products. Generally speaking, the upper end models and high performance spec out syn. Corvette, SS trucks, etc.

I should have added in my earlier post that one of the guys that used it said his OBC showed the mileage increase from 15.7 to 16.9 about 1 month into using it if I recall correctly. Alot of variables go into MPG, he claims his consistently showed 15.5 - 15.7 prior to ZMax. Again, I am not...
