I'll dump the 30 wt shortly in favor of one of the 5w-30 I stock. I go nuts on sales and hoard all kinds of oil. Oil change is insanely easy. Click here. ** Side note ** Ironically both times I've fired up the engine via electric start the engine smokes quite a bit under choke and then...

This last year I've noticed several poster and one mod here that really rave about SAE 30 wt. Ok what can SAE 30 do better than RTS? I believe RTS will be slightly thicker at full operating temp however doesn't the 5w of the RTS provide far superior start up protection? Besides RTS turns in some...

Long story short I just bought a Quick36 mower and the crank is filled with 30 weight. Saved around $500 buying this time of year - figured it was worth it. Engine has .2 hours on the meter. It has the Kawasaki 16 hp v-twin with a spin on filter. I'm having a tough time resisting NOT firing it...

I looked at the Troy-Bilt 1130 at Lowes today. The advantage of this unit is the 30 day return policy. When compared to the Areins build quality - it seemed to really pale. The input on getting an OHV valve engine point well taken. Will look at the Areins again tommorow

Just noticed this thread at the PCMO forum. Internal corrosion during storage My suspicions seem to verified. Just because you don't notice internal corrosion in your vehicle that sits doesn't mean corrosion is not taking its toll or actually happening. I'm sticking to my guns 2 weeks of...

It is 11 HP. I will check out the Toro tomorrow. Same dealer also carries Troy Bilt.

Now that we have Civic # 2 our 4runner and Toyota truck remain parked for up to 2 weeks at a time. Auto-Rx cycles will take years at this rate. Granted we are saving a bunch of gas running 2 Civics but what harm is being done letting the Toyotas sit? Only issue I've noticed is flat spotting of...

I'm looking to buy a snow thrower for clearing residential driveways and side walk on a commercial basis. No electric power shovel or gas powered single stage equivalents - I see my neighbor struggle with theirs every year no thanks. For comparison my dad has an older Areins 2+2 pseudo stage 2...

Been there done that already. Here is the other thread that covers the entire issue. Auto-Rx 250,000 Civic & leaking main seal ??? For the sake of being brief the Civic is leaking oil at the headgasket area. It's very obvious once you look at it with a small inspection mirror. No external...

Anyhow regardless of the low budget UOA and lack of elemental data who makes this run of ST etc., .... anyone care to chime in on the high sodium level and lack of glycol?

none of the above

Bottle has a molded Wne on the bottom. Black imprinting on bottle above back label is 03:53 7200 W72555 7205 Then again these are newer bottles that I bought for an auto-rx rinse. Not sure if the UOA sample is the same lot.

Not sure - I don't see Warren anywhere on the bottle? If that's what you mean?

Based on the UOA I just received I'm not sure. Super Tech 5w-30 - 1st Auto-Rx run 3,000 93 Civic UOA done to check for coolant in oil

252,500 miles on a 1993 Honda Civic D-15B7 1.5L 3000 miles on oil Super Tech Dino w/Auto-Rx initial cleaning dose Reason for UOA is suspected headgasket leak unknown before Auto-Rx application. Aluminum 4 Chromium Copper 8 Iron 4 Lead 8 Tin Silicon 6 Potassium 3 Sodium 40 Moly 217 Water...

Yeah no kidding . . . and good thing this isn't rocket science. Do you think they have these debates at NASA. Way does the Marine Corps have Q&A people hovering over us kids, back in the day, on critical points of assembly on aircraft. Why do A&P mechanics have to sign away their lives most...

I always mark the filter before I put it on with a grease pencil or permanent marker that actually shows up. Take note of the mark on the filter upon gasket contact. Make mental note of it. Can't see the mark get yourself an inspection mirror. Tighten another 3/4 turn problem solved. I have an...

Great point a new Civic has full airbags etc. I'd rather crash one of those than either my 93 or 98 Civic. Then again that is why people justify a full size SUV for occupant safety. Every day has risks and we are forced to make compromises. The other point is the newer Civics 2001-2005 & 2006...

Sure you might make it to 160,000 miles but why risk it. I made it to roughly that on timing belt #2 on my 93 Civic and I was pretty nervous about it the last few years. My local Honda service manager claims that some oem belts have broken at 80,000 miles. It's rare but does happen. Especially...
