Team, First oil analysis I post here in more than 13 years. - 2018 Silverado 1500, Crew Cab, Z71 with the 5.3L (L83) engine - No idea what oil the dealer used, but should be 0W-20/Dexos 1 as recommended - 5200 miles on the oil...21,520 overall - First 3K miles was mostly long trips visiting...

Guys, Is there a "longer" PureOne oil filter for my car? See sig for info. Thank you all!

For $35k out the door (rebates + equity in the Mazda) I just couldn't refuse. It's a 2009 Corvette LT1 (base model) with the LS-3 engine and 6-speed manual. It is victory red with ebony interior. I can't stop staring at it. http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/cde839dea5.jpg...

Guys, I asked Valvoline how much synthetic is in Maxlife. This is their response: Thank you for your question. 30% of the MaxLife is synthetic. The synthetic base is a blend of Group 3 and Group 4 base stocks. Any other information we are unable to release. Thank you. Looks very good on paper...

This PP run isn't as good as on QS RPM 10W-30 (previous oil), but I'm still satisfied. This Pennzoil did see most of the winter weather, from January 08 until a week ago. This winter was very cold and seemed very long. Also, my drive is now shorter and more city-like.....but not by much. The...

Hey guys, My fiance got a job with Zep manufacturing not long ago. They make all, and I mean all sorts of chemicals for just about every industry you can think of. Anyway, I get to try a lot of the products she sells, and let me tell ya....they rock!! Here is a few of them: From left to...

Hey guys, I scored 11 qts of this oil at O'Reilly for $0.99 each. Here is the technical data for this oil. I like everything except for the NOACK % number, which seems quite high. Is this due to the conventional part of this blend? Does anyone have any experience with this oil? BTW, this is...

This is the latest report from my Mazda CX-7 Turbo. 1- Wear continues to drop calculated at ppm/1k miles 2- Fuel dilute is half of last time, BUT, would I have got more fuel in the oil had I run this oil to 4400 miles again??? 3- Copper in this engine seems to start out horrible and then...

Hey guys, Long time no hear from you! I've been real busy since I moved from San Antonio, TX to Waynesville, MO. Anyway, I wanted to share with you my latest batch of bad luck. Go to this post and you will see the last report on my LS-1 powered Z28. As you can see, lead and iron had spiked...

Guys, These are the last two reports from my Camaro Z28 (LS1) and the last one doesn't look very good. Something ugly happened to my car while running Castrol 0W-30 and I can't pinpoint what it was. The previous report (4060 miles/never posted) was with M1 T&SUV 5W-40 and as you can see...

Hey guys, I waxed my car using Prestone Synthetic Wax and I am impressed to say the least. This stuff is awesome! I have a 02 Rally Red Z28 with a black top. I have used Zaino's wax before and Prestone looks at least as good! The red and black colors look very glossy/glassy, very red/black...

Hey guys, This is the latest on my wife's Corolla. The oil is a mix of Motorcraft 15w40, Valvoline Maxlife Engine Protector/ Schaeffer's #132 and possibly some M1 TSUV 5W-40 that I installed sometime in early July 05 timeframe. It remained there until mid Feb 06. The oil has more than 7k miles...

The price of freedom! Once again guys, very sad, but VERY proud the Air Force is earning its stripes in blood! A very beautiful and young girl killed by an IED. The story is a bit old, but still has a lot of significance. Sorry if this has already been covered....I was out of the loop for a...

Hey guys, I took this little IQ test (40 questions) from Tickle.com and after I was done my results were: So, my questions are: -Is this good, average or poor? -Anyone can explain "Insightful Linguist" a little better....for the average Joe? I guess I wasn't smart enough to figure out my own...

Guys, These are just a few pictures I took while vacationing in Iraq. I have many more, but I just can't load them all. These "were" high resolution, but had to shrink them for quicker uploads. Hope you enjoy! Apache flying overhead. Loaded .50 cal on top of truck (with me behind it!)...

Yo, fellas.....I'll be back in the States in ~2 weeks! I'm excited to go back, of course, and to spend some time in front of the computer talking about oil and stuff. It's been a long time since I left my home (more than 6 months) and the road was rough at times; but it's over. I'm saddened that...
