Dang - that Honda/Exxon 5w-20 does look good on paper. They sell a Honda-rebranded oil for only $0.99 at Autozone?? MR

Wow - I just came here to post this link. Ya beat me to it. Sounds like the oil filter is located over the exhaust manifold - great idea there. If this is the case, simply removing the old filter could give the exhaust a good coating of oil. Anyone here have a Gen II CR-V? MR

I have the same fine ( ) transmission in my Ranger. I was getting a terrible grind on the 3-4 shift, especially when I shifted over 50 MPH. Finally got so bad that I would just double-clutch between 3 and 4. Replaced the Jiffy-Lube fluid with Mobil 1 ATF. At first the problem got a little...

Sorry, not to pick on your buddy, but this reminds me of a story about my cousin (who also drives a Dodge Ram with the 3.9 - go figure.) My grandmother told me that he had to wait in line for over three hours at the oil change place last weekend. I asked her: Why didn't he just go home and...

That's some hardy grass if you have to use a scraper to clean it off. My grass is freshly sodded over a nice hard bed of clay ( ), so I really don't end up mowing wet grass. The stuff just doesn't retain moisture that well. When I'm finished with the lawn, I clean the grass out of the mower...

With more moly, phosphorous, zinc, and calcium than Valvoline Engine Protector, Torco SR-1 oil would make a better oil additive. Motorbike's UOA: Torco SR-1 Synthetic 5W-30 MR

Ppm is a metric of concentration, yes? So 100 ppm of moly is the same whether in 1 oz. or 10 oz. of oil. To determine change in ppm of the crankcase oil per volume of additive added, you need to weight ppm by volume of both. So say we're adding an ounce of MPZ to a quart of oil with no moly...

I saw the film last night (it was excellent) and didn't notice any lies. To which lies are you referring? Actually, how many of you folks here have seen the film? How can you make any claims at all about a movie you haven't seen? MR

Maybe a teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon. Seriously, though - does it need anything added to it? I'd dump in the Syntec 5w-20 and enjoy. MR

Interesting. Makes sense considering the stories and UOA's that Widman has posted. Thx, MR

You could thicken it up with a quart of 20w-50. Or save it for the winter. MR

How'd you know that it was the old formula? Just curious, as I'd like to pick some up too. thx, MR

A female mouse will abort in the presence of a male mouse that is not the litter's "father." This is why you very rarely see male mice going on business trips. MR

Awesome! The late-80's GM intermediate cars were underappreciated in their time. BITD, my Mom had a '90 Olds Cutlass Ciera coupe with FE3 suspension and the gauge pack. Total sleeper and tough as nails. cool ride, MR

What an astonishing bunch of revisionist history here. If you recall, we didn't invade Iraq under the pretext of "restoring democracy." It was to punish Saddam for WMD's and his link to al-Qaeda. Those two assumptions didn't pan out. At best, the Administration hastily came to faulty...

Probably gets a lot hotter in Chile than in New Jersey. I'd use the M1 10w-30 year round. MR

I guess that answers my question. You don't have any problems getting multiple rebates at the same address? MR

Neonmike - that's interesting. 4-5 years ago, a lot of the Neon guys swore by the D60A2 (the SP Sport A2's predecessor). I used a set of D60A2's on my '98 R/T for a winter (rain) tire. No autocrosses on them: just commuting in the SF Bay Area. For that purpose, it was a good tire, especially...

Strange - I'm on business travel in Indiana and I stopped by a Walmart and noticed bright blue Supertech bottles next to the blue-gray ones. The new ones said "WPP" on the bottom too. Is it just me, or is ST coming out with new viscosities? I hadn't seen 20w-50 ST dino before. They also had...

Making a connection between Muslim fundamentalists and your strawman Left because you find them both to be radical is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? By your criteria, you could say the same about the radical right as well. I'll crop the rest of your post because it relies upon your...
