Hey guys, I just got turned onto the whole LSPI thing with GDI engines and it now has me paying close(r) attention to the oil requirements set by Ford. I am currently running Castrol Edge 5W-50 (non-supercar version) and while I see it's an SN rated oil, I am not confident that I made the...

Hi Guys, I stumbled upon this reverse brake bleeder on ebay and seems like a very economical substitute when compared to something like the Phoenix reverse bleeder. http://www.ebay.com/itm/One-Man-Brake-Cl...=p2054897.l5661 Not a fan of the plastic model, so I found a metal version (basically...

Hi Folks, I recently purchased a case of Mobile One 5W-20 for my Honda and come to realize that the factory calls for 0W-20! I am in Southern California. Should I be concerned about the difference between 0w and 5w? Are these engines picky about using 0w, especially in a cold start? Thanks!

Hi Folks, I performed the third oil change @ 11k on my 2007 997S. I took this opportunity to install the LN Engineering spin on oil filter kit and magnetic drain plug. Upon inspecting the used oil filter, I found a single little piece of debris (looks to be metallic) nested inside one of the...

Hi Folks, Picked up a brand new Accord and currently has 5,500 miles and has yet to receive an oil change. Honda's oil life meter has it pegged to around 40% right now. According to the dealer, I shouldn't bother going with a full synthetic and that Honda's semi-synthetic is the perfect choice...

Would you guys recommend using MMO on a 3.8li 997 Porsche? With only 9k and just performed it's second oil change, I am surprised to see the oil so dirty. (M1 0W-40). Thanks!

Just used this instead of the SuperTech 20W-50 (I also could have chose Castrol GTX) in a 185k 1996 Chrysler Town and Country (3.8li V6). Wise choice given my options? Thanks, Eric

I want to pour some in the spark plug holes and let it sit for a few days. How much should I use per cylinder? Won't it eventually seep down past the rings/piston and into the crankcase?

Sorry guys but I had to bring this up. I just added the synthetic version to my 1994 Crown Vic (est. 175k miles) that was burning lots of oil between OCI's. Ez-lube uses castrol GTX (I've played around with 5w-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, & 10W-40, but usually stick with the last two) and thank god for...

Hey guys, My GF's car has about 90k and she likes to "extend" the OCI to somewhere around 5-6k using Castrol GTX (ez-lube outfits). Should this be recommended with that oil? How do these Toyota (1.5li ?) engines deal with deposits and sludge (I don't remember hearing great stories about this...

Hi Guys, My 1991 Mustang GT has a Vortech supercharger and the car has 58k original miles on it with a leaky RMS. I currently run Mobil 1 10W-40 and rarely drive the vehicle so the oil has been in there since Feb '09. But it's time to change it (dirty from blow by) and yes, I am running an OEM...
