    K24 and 10k OCIs

    Yep, you see it at places like that. Tractor Supply and feed & seed type stores. I found 5 quart jugs on Zoro.com for $25 on sale, but $3/quart is a steal.

    K24 and 10k OCIs

    I'm about to switch to the Mag 1 FS 10W30, which actually is quite thin for its grade. I decided just to look into on a whim, before buying a case of HPL PPCMO or caving and buying Amsoil SS - with my opinion of Mag 1 for the past 20 years or more that I have known of the brand as just being...

    Engine Break-in

    I watched that video as well, and when we traded in my wife's 2020 Mazda CX-5 for a 2024 model, that's exactly what I did.

    Using Motor Oil for Gun Lube

    AR-15/AKM - just plain old wheel bearing grease. Semi auto pistols - any ATF or 5W20/30. Gun lubes are a complete waste of money and you likely have all you need in your garage.

    K24 and 10k OCIs

    My '12 CRV has 275K miles and I have done every interval from 5K to almost 10K, and used every weight between 0W20 and 10W30, HM and regular, and all kinds of additives. I have used Castrol Edge, Castrol GTX blend, GTX FS, M1 AFE/EP, PP, PUP, and I think I used Amsoil once or twice. 80%...

    2010 CRV under valve cover pics 450k mi

    I had to ask that first, because the real question I have is, has he had issues with the VTC actuator rattle and any timing chain stretch or tensioner failures in that mileage - or have you? Please reply to me in a PM, because I recognize that this is going off-topic.

    Another B12 Chemtool Piston Soak Oil burner success with Toyota 2AZ-FE

    Yea, I mean the residual B-12 though, maybe even a touch more than that. Definitely not the entire bottle.

    Headlight Lens Restorer Report

    I went up to 3000 grit as the final step on mine. Completely worth it, but not absolutely necessary. It’s mostly just because I had it up to that grit. 1500 as a final grit would suffice in most cases. I have never had any luck with clear spray - then again, I didn’t use 2K Clear or anything...

    2010 CRV under valve cover pics 450k mi

    I am at 275K with my '12 CR-V. What mileage did your friend buy the car at?

    Another B12 Chemtool Piston Soak Oil burner success with Toyota 2AZ-FE

    I had read in another thread that the B-12 that remains (presumably within reason) after a soak will burn off once the engine comes up to temperature. Is there any truth to this, or does one need to consider doing a 'flush' oil change with cheap oil after doing a soak? Are there any reasons...

    Headlight Lens Restorer Report

    Sylvania kit, hands down. I had used the Cerakote kit, and while very nice results, the lights got ****ted up again after about a year. I got the cheaper Sylvania kit with steps 1 and 3 only - the activator and the UV sealant only. I had my own wet sand paper. I also used more grades in...

    Using Spray Wax as a quick detailer?

    Adam's CS3 is the BOMB.

    Are XG7317 and XG6607 interchangeable?

    Years ago an old friend of mine worked at a quick lube. He told me whatever filter fit is what you got.

    Are XG7317 and XG6607 interchangeable?

    The XG6607 filter media is short, and the surface area is considerably smaller.

    CZ 457 in 22lr, a must have

    It’s only because single loading guarantees that there won’t be any deformity from magazine loading. It may not be much but in silhouette even the slightest change that throws off accuracy matters.

    CZ 457 in 22lr, a must have

    I’ve got a 457 American that I shoot smallbore silhouette with, and a fixed 10x Weaver silhouette scope that was made in Japan - very good scopes. I love mine! I changed out the factory magazine for a 3D printed single shot adapter.

    CRV VTC actuator issue

    To state the obvious, yes. The spring is not always a fix. There are other factors as well. The timing chain tensioner and the oil gallery that gives the TCT oil pressure from the oil filter block adapter are two of them. That gallery can be cleaned out with compressed air and perhaps some...

    Pennzoil Platinum HM 5W-30 VOA

    Slightly off topic, but pertaining to PP. I swore I read on the back of a bottle of PP 5W20 this past summer while in an auto parts store ‘Protects like a 5W30’. Had anyone else seen this? I went to an O’Reilly’s today to confirm and their bottles of PP 5W20 did not have this printed on the back.
