    2017 Silverado 6.2L (L86) 80.5k mi; Mobil 1 0W-40 3.9k mi - used oil analysis

    2017 6.2 that’s made it 80k+…. Worry about something else like what’s for dinner tonight. If you’re changing oil at this interval then that is all anyone can do at this point. A lifter failing in this circumstance is not because of the oil and-or interval.

    Instant coffee? Yes/No?

    When we traveled to the UK we kept a jar of Chase and Sanborn instant coffee in the hotel room for convenience. I grew fond of it. Otherwise I enjoy my Eight O’ Clock brewed coffee at home.

    1970 C10 Spark Plug Read.

    It’s running right where it should. Not rich or using oil. Did you replace points, condenser, rotor, cap, and ignition wires? Remember to disconnect the vacuum advance hose when checking-setting the timing. Nice truck!

    Quaker State or Pennzoil motor warranty

    I’m sure the respective warranty terms and conditions are written in such a manner that the oil companies decide what is an “oil related failure “. Therefore most any and all failures would be denied. It just sounds good for users initially.

    2015 Wrangler 3.6L - Blown Head Gasket?

    Hard to say. I’d be inclined to try some stop leak at this age-mileage.

    Races are too long. When it takes half a day-night to run a race, who has that much boredom and-or time?

    Look at this survivor! Pinto content.

    Sad reminder every time I see a Pinto. My female cousin was married to a real jerk and was 8 months pregnant when she discovered he was cheating on her. She drove her 1969 Shelby Mustang 500 to a Ford dealership and traded it for a brand new 1970 Pinto. She regretted that later but was revenge...

    1997 Chevy Cavalier lower radiator hose keeps detaching

    Radiator cap has been replaced so is the coolant belching into the recovery tank when it gets hot? If not at least try a new thermostat.

    Anyone else married to a woman like this?

    What’s the theme? “Go make money”. That would last until she found a more lucrative victim… Good luck.

    Engine blew up in the shop.

    Maybe I’m missing something…. So the engine was idling when it shoved something through the block? Just idling. Not just idling after a high RPM rev?

    My bet is that is moisture that the filter caught. The water activated that crud that holds the moisture in place. Probably got some contaminated fuel…
