    tranny problems

    I've got a 2006 Honda Civic Si that never shifted perfectly when new. I took it into the Honda dealer and the mechanic felt it needed new synchros after a test drive.

    Disregard UOA anyone agree synthetic oil smoother?

    One of my customers rides a late model Yamaha 650. He said it vibrated so bad at 70 that he hated riding it. He switched from Yamalube to 10W40 Amsoil MCF and he said it smoothed out the vibration so much he enjoys riding it much more.

    Why is a Group IV usually thought of as better?

    PolyAlphaOlefin is a pure chemical molecule, requiring less additives. Group III oils are made of hundreds, maybe thousands of different petroleum molecules, requiring more additives. The pure chemicals can be made to exacting standards for stability and lubrication.

    UOA section - Conclusions?

    I think it takes a pro to correctly interpret UOA's. Wear metals could settle in engine internals and never be picked up in an oil sample. They could be trapped in a very efficient filtration system. The oil might pick up wear metals from previous oil changes. You could have false positives. You...

    QS Q Advanced syn. - Your opinion.

    It tested last in a couple of catagories in this oil test http://www.amsoil.com/products/atm_testing/index_flash.aspx comparison and faired fairly well in a few others. Probably fine for OEM recommended oil change intervals if it meets OEM requirements listed in your owners manual. Can't beat...

    Amsoil 75W90 Severe Gear Lube and change it at double the BMW recommended interval. I used it this way for my 137,000 mile 2000 K1200LT. I sell it to many BMW shops and use it myself in my 2006 K1200LT.

    AMSOIL Question/OCI

    Sounds like the type of driving the Texas State Police do and they use the same Amsoil with 20,000 mile OCI in over 3000 police cars. They now also use the EaO oil filter for the same mileage. They found the wear was less doing it this way than when they did 2,000 to 3,000 mile oil changes with...
