Sorry it's not a UOA to ponder....I know the UOA forum for HDEO has been slim as of late... I know it's not the correct forum necessarily as the application are not in a truck or commercial vehicle, but we have three units where I work (6V92's) which are used as fire booster pumps. Idea is they...

Here is a sample from my 2006 Dodge Cummins. Have an aftermarket diff cover which allows for a larger fluid capacity (up to 8 quarts as opposed to 4). Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 My only question is the presence of water at 0.1%...this doesn't seem high to me, but I'm unfamiliar with how much water...

So recently I installed Chevron ATF+4 in my trans as it is about one third the cost of a more expensive alternative...biggest difference is that it is a little notchy for the first few [censored] early in the morning. I inquired at the Dodge dealer I go to (who I trust, and is quite reliable)...

Do tires cause more road noise as they age? Reason I ask is my Goodyear Silent Armors have about 65 000 miles (this is the last year for them, just trying to squeeze a little life until the fall when my winters go on). I have found in the last couple of weeks that I am getting more road noise. A...

I decided to give Rotella Express a try a short while ago, as it was 20 dollars for a tbn and everything else that I usually get. It's at a Kenworth dealer and I figured, what the heck. This is going to be a longer run (if everything is ok). Amsoil AME 15W40 5000 miles 2006 Dodge Cummins...

I was looking at my most recent UOA of Chevron Delo 400 LE (CJ4) and an earlier report of Esso XD3 0W40 (CI4). I noticed that many of the additives like Zinc and Phosphorus which are supposed to be toned down in the new formulations to comply with 2007 emissions standards are actually the same...

I just want to know how long these filters can safely go for...(oem recommendation intervals aside) Filters (for those who don't know) are used in Diesel applications and are full synthetic media.. Donaldson ELF series (ELF7349) Fleetguard Stratapore (LF16035) I'm beginning extended drains in my...

Seal has been replaced three times under warranty. Yoke replaced once...supposedly last time Dodge dealer worked on it they did some checks on it. First time it leaked, it was with stock diff cover and fill. Second time with Aftermarket cover 3rd time same, yoke replaced, checks done (so they...

The new Delo 400 5W40LE CJ4 is out...for those who can actually find this oil. I know its quite elusive. I can get it out west, but not where I am now. http://www.chevrondelo.com

All in all, I'm quite pleased with the new CJ4...so I guess I truly believe now that it is as good as the oil companies claim. It was tough to gauge over the last few years with all the skepticism though. 1 Quart added...it was CI4+ (oops). AFE stage 2 Proguard 7 Only a little Power Service Grey...

Was at Wal-Mart today and was unpleseantly shocked when I saw the Esso XD3 0W40 price. Last time I was there it was $22.96/4 litre, Canadian...$35.14 now. Guess I won't be buying that again. M1 TDT was 41 something for 5 litres...almost the same now. Xd3 used to be a good quality synthetic for...

I'm looking at having the CC put back in my Dodge as I will most likely be relocating in the next year, and where I am now is reasonable prices as well as I had a good experience with the shop the last time. I want to know (because it has been so long, and I went from stock to not the same day)...

I notice some filters have anti drainback valves. I was changing my oil not long ago (was using Donaldson ELF7349) and noticed it was not full to the top when I spun it off. The level was not low, but not right at the top either... I have noticed this in the past as well, but uoa has not shown...

I've been looking at some of my old Blackstone UOA's and mine all came in SUS Vis/210F. Now I see most people have their's in Cst @100c. Is this a choice when using Blackstone? I find Cst a little easier to comprehend, as I don't know the range for SUS @210F... Also, can someone point me in the...

Just noticed that there seems to be a limited amount of time that you can edit a post...is this the case? If so, how long?
