    EGR and oil

    alot of people seem to block their egr valves on the new diesels. do you think this actually makes a difference in longevity? I know it's less things to break, etc. if my wife's 07 classic duramax (lbz) wasn't under warranty I would block. in fact I will block it after 100k so i will never have...

    LC20 in transmission

    What is the recommended dose for an auto transmission? For what it's worth, it's for an 07 GM w/ an Allison. about 12 quarts total capacity I beleive. I was planning on changing the spin filter every 5k to 10k and putting some LC20 in it. nice and easy. thanks

    FP-plus test results

    I just checked out Lube Control's redesigned website. under independent tests you can read Southwest Research Institute's test on FP-plus. It sounds really good but I'm confused by what it says about the HFRR test. Did it lower the tested fuel result by .37 mm or to .37mm (if that is the case...

    Lube control or auto-rx w/ Amsoil

    any benefit with either of these w/ synthetic oil? I'm thinking a brand new engine here, not one that needs a clean cycle. For what it's worth its 07 duramax. I'm leaning more towards the maintenance dose of LC20 for the money. thank you!

    Is GC still made?

    I thought I heard that this is no longer being produced and that's why everyone was stocking up. I would like to start using it in my wife's tundra. I found 6 bottles at AZ covered in dust but since I need 7 I didn't bother buying them. thank you
