Back around the beginning of March, 2004 I switched from Pennzoil 5W-30 to Redline 10W-30 and immediately noticed a 7.1% MPG increase. The car also seemed peppier. I kept wondering if the increase was because of the oil or because the refineries switched to a more summer blend gasoline. I...

I had been running Pennzoil 5W-30 in my Mazda 626, did an Auto-Rx treatment and switched to Redline 10W-30 on March 3. My mileage immediately increased 7.1% from 21.2mpg to 22.7. Also the car seems to have a bit more pep. During this time I used the same gas (Mobil regular), checked the air...

I am currently cleaning my transmission with Auto RX. The directions say to put in 6oz, drive 1,000 mi, completely change the fluid, and you're done. Yet for the motor application the directions are to drive 1,500 mi then rinse for 2,000-3,000 mi with a non synthetic oil and you're done. Does...

Here is a UOA done by O.A.I on my HD Road King motorcycle. This oil was put in the tank one year ago,and a HD Premium oil filter installed. I ran the engine a bit to warm it up and then put it on the lift for the winter. It was taken out of storage on 4/14/03. I didn't get in as much riding this...

I only change the oil and filter on my motorcycle every fall. It sits in storage from November thru March. I can't see that it makes any difference if the oil sits all winter in the bottle or in the motorcycle's oil tank. I have never had any trouble and get good UOA's. I use synthetic, but I...

These cars are notorious for tranny problems. The transmission seems to be working fine, but this analysis is horrible. The ATF is the original OEM factory fill, which I believe is Mercon. I will be changing the fluid quickly. I would appreciate any comments and/or sympathy regarding this...

First post! After learning a lot on this board I decided to do a UOA on my car. I ordered two kits from M. Sparks - great service too. I took the sample and threw it in the mailbox - mistake. Two days later I get a "Contents found loose in the mail" msg from the PO. They returned the data sheet...
