    Oil Strategy To Prevent Carbon Piston / Ring Deposits ?

    Well, yeah, it’s only common sense I run the best oil I can get my hands on in my truck I never go past 5K on oil changes Personally, I establish a baseline with oil analysis to ensure that I’m OK at 5K with fuel dilution

    Oil Strategy To Prevent Carbon Piston / Ring Deposits ?

    Yeah, I suppose that’s possible as well but, how many actually people here involved in this discussion or using the cheapest oil oil available and changing at 1K? Let me rephrase that for you specifically….. “even expensive oil is cheap, engines aren’t”

    Oil Strategy To Prevent Carbon Piston / Ring Deposits ?

    Engine oil is a compromise for sure. The definition of BEST is extremely speculative as well. One of the things I like about LSJ, he gives you the data, but puts it on YOU to form the conclusion.

    Not all Premium Guard / MicroGuard filters are created equal...also Wix XP versus Microguard Select

    That’s exactly how I found out the AMSOIL filter filters were leaking and internally.

    Not all Premium Guard / MicroGuard filters are created equal...also Wix XP versus Microguard Select

    The Wix XP hasn’t been the “gold standard” for at least a decade

    Will Your Car Survive an EMP?

    Modern vehicles with computers will fry in an EMP The only way to protect them is an actual Faraday cage around the vehicle. Nuclear hardening or shielding is the only possible escape from an EMP.
