I have been trying to order FP Plus for a while now but the Lube Control website no longer has access to order their products. Shopify page comes up like they let the web store lapse; I also cannot find a phone number anywhere on their site. My previous orders have shipped from Argyle, TX; does...

Sad news from the music world Announcement

Factory fill of Toyota WS fluid from my Tacoma taken at 40,940 miles. I did a pan drop in association with this sample and replaced the filter assy. which is just a glorified fine mesh screen, not a fiber/barrier type element. I also did the cooler line exchange method after reassembly. I don't...

This is the first UOA for me on this transmission. 26,534 miles on this fluid with 56,534 miles on the car's transmission and powertrain. We purchased this Accord new and I did a CVT fluid drain and fill at 10K, 20K, and 30K to get the initial break in contamination out. The recommended run is...

Honda HCF-2 CVT Automatic Fluid VOA from a sealed qt. bottle. I hope this helps get a data point out there for those using OEM fluid with this 2nd generation CVT

We purchased this Accord on 12/31/2013 - I had heard & read that Honda FF were Moly heavy and this was. It almost killed me to not dump this after 1k miles but after 5034 I dumped the FF (did not reset Maint minder 50%) and will do a rinse with Valvoline Syn 0w-20 until maintenance minder is at...

Here is the #2 UOA results for Lubrication Engineers LE8531, 5w30 Monolec Tetra-Syn VOA numbers are the first set. Filter was a Pure One PL 10241, 48,133 miles on engine & truck, 3,020 miles on OCI. Don't flame me for the early change - had some really nice weather after what would be called...

We recently purchased a 2014 Honda Accord with the L4 & CVT. My question is - even though this is a 2nd generation CVT and uses Honda HCF-2 fluid is there an advantage to an initial drain & fill at about 1500-2000 miles to remove break-in debris? I have not been able to find any substantiated...

We sold our 2004 Honda Accord V6 on 12/31; had 239,051 miles on it. It was a great car for us but it was time to give up miles and take on payments again. Wife drives out of town to work and the end of year sale here was too good to pass up. I will add some UOA's as we go for the 0w20 oils and...

Has anyone ever protested a dramatic hike in their primary residence property tax? If so, what did you take with you to the hearing...it seems a little one sided to me. I have done no renovation, expansion, etc. Thanks in advance

VOA sample for my Tacoma 4.0L V-6. I haven't seen alot of information on Lubrication Engineers LE8531 Monolec Synthetic 5w30 so I am beginning a series of oil changes (4) on my Tacoma using their oil. I got a decent deal on a case of 24 qts. with a 10x sample kit, total miles at sample...

First sample for this Tacoma 2WD rear differential. Please comment as I need to understand better the lab's Phosphorus comment and Redline gear oil. Factory fill was changed at 11,376 miles. Total miles at sample time was 39,266. Flagged data was the phosphorus level. Viscosity seemed in line...

Afternoon all, My wife's Accord is starting to have a very minor case of cold weather piston slap on startup. 210,000 miles, spent most of it's life on Valvoline SynPower 5w20 and does not burn a drop between 5K mile change intervals. I have tried Penn Ultra a couple of times and last winter I...

I tried the search with several different asks and couldn't find any if they are out there. Does anyone have a virgin/used report on Redline's GL-5 75w90 or 75w85 gear oils? Thanks all.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone, I have a high mileage Accord (192K) that my wife drives, puts alot of highway miles on for her work. I have wanted to send the fuel injectors out for ultrasonic cleaning and flow testing and just wanted to get some feedback from folks that have done this and what...

Good morning, my wife's 2004 Accord V6 auto transmission finally gave up this week. 188,000 miles we got out of it, it was a BAYA code if that means anything (3rd clutch pack and Q converter died). I have been following some of the ATF posts here relating to Hondas and just had a couple of...

Don't torch me to bad on this one but does anyone have a picture of this hose clamp plier? Hose Clamp Pliers #J-43914 I was going to do a little investigation on a Saturn and the V6 intake tubes have hose clamps that needs a special hose clamp plier to remove them. I appreciate any help - thanks!

I have an opportunity to pick up a "little old lady" Saturn for cheap, it has been sitting semi-dormant for a couple of years. The title was trnsferred to a family member for estate purposes in 2009, mileage was 44,2xx. The odometer is digital, the mileage shows 698,478 miles and doesn't move...
