    2024 Detroit GP

    The worst Indycar race I have ever seen. The yellow flag laps had to be 1/3 of the race. The course is to short, and 2 narrow. Either get rid of Detroit or go to Belle isles. Also if they think 1.6 mile course is ok why can’t they come to the northeast and use Lime Rock. I was going to...

    IVD CLEANING

    Did IVD cleaning on 2019 Crosstrek. I used the hose from the Berryman IVD cleaning kit, which I used on another car and Seafoam. It worked out great, plugged the adapter into Vacum port and dipped the hose into the can. I did not have to rev the engine, the reducer from Berryman works.

    This is the 3rd UOA all oils purchased at Walmarts Pennzoil first, RP 2nd and last Valvoline all 0w20. I really liked the Valvoline over the RP, it had the same smoothness, and cheaper. I did not like Pennzoil. Any thoughts on this report?

    BJs gas

    I don’t know if this is the right section … sorry if it not. Since gas prices are so high I use BJs gas it is not TT. I have a 2020 equinox w/1.5t. I’m using premium gas, my thinking is it will burn better and I get it for about the same price as TT regular gas. I do a IV cleaning every 10-15000...
