1 quart of make-up oil No oil filter change (previously would change half way through OCI) Still using the K&N air filter (as silicon will indicate) but it doesn't seem to be increasing wear metals. It's been in for about 2 years. 95%+ highway miles Didn't feel I needed the expense of the TBN...

Taking Control of Electric Bill, Hour by Hour This article is over a year old but in general, I believe, is a new concept. Recently I signed up for the "Power Smart Pricing" option from my local utilities company and the meter was installed today. It allows me to pay the market rate of...

Many here on BITOG look for ways to save money with their vehicles or to increase MPG. Yesterday, I had a Home Energy Audit performed on my house so that I may help reduce the costs associated in heating and cooling my home. (Thank you Stimulus Money!) Much of my research online alluded that...

This vehicle is driven over 25K annually. This is the first run of Amsoil ATF that was put in nearly 2 years ago (DIY full flush & pan drop using return line using approx. 13 qts for a 9.5 qt full capacity change). Extended OCIs are one of my primary reasons for the switch from OEM. 95%+ of...

Ran across this site a few weeks ago. The giftcard industry is booming and millions of dollars of these go unused each year. Here's a get place to get rid of those cards quick for cash or "swap" with someone else. Not to mention the savings you can find if you pick one of these up. I saved nerly...

Analysis of my 2004 300M was received today. Other than the silicon, looks great to me. Possible 12K OCIs with PP in my future. Blackstone's comments will refer to the previous UOA posted last week from my 2000 300M. The two 300Ms are cared for identically. Both use K&N drop-in air filters and...

I've been meaning to put this UOA on for some time now. Thought others may appreciate the info for a longer OCI. My daily commute consists of a 100 mile roundtrip or an estimated 25,500 miles annually. UOA PDF Since this UOA, I've been running with PP for 10K with similar results. I'll try to...
