I changed out the air filter after this oil change and made sure it was in there perfectly. The last air filter was done at the dealership. First time in my life I had a filter change at a dealership, also last time. I think it was in there a bit off. Also the charge for air filter labor was...

Here is my Acura's Blackstone Report. 9300 miles with some below zero winter weather and a combination of commute to work, 60 miles round trip, some in town driving and ten 320 mile roundtrip road trips. I have a lead foot and there are many full throttle passings of other cars with speeds up to...

My seat of the pants sucks. Can't really tell a difference between the 5W-20 and the 0W-20. Maybe in neutral it might rev a bit easier, but it could also just be wishfull thinking.

0W-20 Mobil 1 it is. I'll change it out this week and give the seat of the pants report. thanks for all the opinions.

Owners manual recommends 5W-20 API certified for gasoline engines. Mobil says its 0W-20 can be substituted for 5W-20, while the Castrol is my own idea.

Due for the 3rd oil change on the Acura 3.7 SH-AWD. Used Mobil 1 the first time 5W-30, as recommended. Went to my oil stach and have the following choices Castrol German 0W-30 (some green some gold) or Mobil 1 0W-20 or Mobil 1 5W-20. Which should I pick?

Do I need to change out my filter at any point other than when I do the complete oil change?

where did you get the idea to use such a large dosage of Auto RX

I put Kreen in yesterday. It will take a while to get 1000 mles, on it, but I will report back. Not taking a valve cover off but I did use a flashlight and a foot stool to look into the filler hole. Won't be much of a report or a test, but all info is helpful.

I am guessing about oil changes, as it was purchased used by my father inlaw with about 70000 miles on it. I would guess that it sat for better than a year and maybe two without being run at all. There are some oil change bills but not a lot of them. Does the internal body of the throttle body...

Just inherited a 1988 GMC 5.7L (350) 3/4 ton 4x4 PU with 96,000 miles. Looks like oil changes were done on a somewhat regular basis, but the truc kwould sit for months if not an occaisional year without being used. It has about 2000 miles on this OCI and I am thinking of a cleaning with either...

I still have some green and some gold German Castrol would it be a bad choice (two changes worth)?

Have a new Acura sitting with approx 5000 miles. I have read all the post I can find and will probable wait until the OCM says it is time to change it, (or at least close to that time) I have 32 years worth of Mobil 1, Amsoil, Green Castrol,Castrol GTX, Delvac 1, and a little bit of Frenchy oil...

I did check the price of WIX from Fleet Filter, 4.20 plus shipping,so less than my NAPA and less than Wal Mart for the Extended Fram. Don't know what to think about LC. Been using it because Terry Dyson was big on it and recommended it to me after an oil report. Use it and FP. Still aren't...

Just read through months of posts. I live in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. Can easily find the following oil filters locally Napa, Fram, AC, and whatever K-Mart or Walmart sell.Can get WIX from Fleet Filters. I have used Mobil 1 filters and Amsoil filters on my last vehicle (95 Nissan Maxima)...

This engine has had Mobil 1, Amsoil, Motul, and a couple of dino fills after AutoRX treatments. So what oil would you suggest. I do have some Delvac 5W-40 or is it 10W-40. Can't remember for sure. I have sent all of the above oils out after funning them in this engine and haven't seen one...

Here is another Blackstone report on my Maxima. Total mileage on the vehicle is 146,000. Daily driver that has had 2 Auto RX treatments, and now runs the German Castrol with 2 oz of Lube Control every 1000 miles, in addition to the 2 ounce per qt starting dosage. Aluminum 3 Chromium 2 Iron 12...

yup it is 2 oz of LC per 1000 miles. I am a poor proff reader.

air filter is less than 10000 miles, plugs are iridium with less than 25,000 miles on them PCS is about 25,000 miles old. The lead and copper are typos shoudl be reversed. Lead and copper did go up as they should Zinc on the other had is not a typo. So who knows.

Here is another Green German Castrol report on my Maxima. I use 2oz of LC per Terry Dyson's reccomendation and 2oz per 100 miles. I posted a previous Dyson Analysis with high fuel dilution last fall, and then ran Redline cleaner through the system, changed the oil and posted again at aprox 300...
