Thanks for the aeronautics lesson Astro. Always appreciated. John.

Amazing...

All very interesting. Ditto on the 168 gr HPBT Nosler stuff. Have used both the Win & Fed varietis - all good. My M14 digests both & is consistently an inch & a half w/ iron. Yes, w/ iron. Incredible. Used the Win variety in a Rem 700 tri-fluted short barrel (18") that was smack-on one inch at...

GC! Or maybe T6, but all I ran in my 2000 1.8T Jetta was GC. The longitudinal 1.8T's have a greatly reduced oil capacity versus their transverse brethern... Get a big filter, used to use a HUGE Napa Gold can for it. Forget the number right now. GC made a real difference in the perceived NVH &...

Ditto on the two-stroke oil. My Cummins is so much smoother & quieter w/ that in the fuel. I also notice a similar effect using biodiesel (on the rare time when I can get it). John.

Well put... I would be interested in that Rotella UOA Clevy. My FJR has a shared sump full of regular Rotella 15w-40 waiting for Spring. Have used mostly RTS & lately, a run of T5 for blanks & giggles. John.

Agreed, glad that somebody has stepped up w/ a diesel 1/2 ton. All that being said, I love my 2006 5.9! John.

Now that's funny right there...

Run the T5, is my thinking. I use two jugs of T5 & hedge any bets w/ another jug of T6 in my Cummins 5.9 litre. Reduced pumping losses account for a few mpg on the highway. That's nice. John.

...and good riddance to you. Feel free to leave the rest of the Forum, too, while your at it. Your 1st response has already told us that you have nothing to say of value. Don't go away mad, just go away. John.

Good stuff. My bike filter of choice... John.

Sargent on my FJR. Got it used on Fleabay... Better than original. Has the rear seat as well but that is really a standard profile for the pillion, just done in leather to match the winged front. I need one that places me closer to the tank due to my short arms. I have a very long torso so that...

Yeah, w/ alcohol-corrupted fuel, I cannot see the need for it anymore. The greater concern is phase-seperation in extreme cold such as we are currently experiencing. That's why I have taken to using supreme fuel in the last few winters - no alcohol in it around here. John.

Yeah, they do amazingly well considerin'... I have been in -45 in Northern BC / Yukon & the 4.6l Ford modular started up. It had cold-soaked all night in Dease Lake & I was unable to get a plug-in at the hotel. Found out later that some people just left their vehicle's running in that scenario...

Well, it ain't scientific as I never had it analysed BUT, the oil that came out of my wife's '09 looked nasty. It went off in something like 46 or 4800 kilometres. That ain't much. But the running it got is a hard urban cycle all the time w/ no highway usage during that interval. It was black...

Using the Defender. If you're gonna get a case to protect the phone, then go all the way & PROTECT it. My two cents... John.

Pretty much uselss as I expected. Tacoma, Rochester & Pembroke Pines, Fla... None of those be anywhere close to Buchans. "When sun rays crown thy pine clad hills..." John.
