Here is a UOA from my 2021 Ford Mustang GT500. This UOA consists of 3 track days, an auto cross, and some street miles. The track was Circuit of the Americas in Austin Texas, and the days consisted of about 2hrs each day. Total miles on this oil change, track or street, was around 1000. Total...

This is the bespoke oil for the new C8 Corvette Z06, Mobil 1 5w50 Supercar, rated API SP and DexosR. Clearly this Corvette needs a hefty additive package. How to describe this oil in once sentence or less, here for a good time, not a long time.

I sent this sample, and a sample of M1 5w50 Supercar off for analysis. Will post results of Supercar when they come in.

Hello, Today we have another UOA from my 2016 Ford F150 with the 5.0 Coyote V8. This vehicle has a Roush supercharger, which has been modified with an upgraded fuel system (pump/injectors) and several other go fast goodies. This vehicle is a work in progress, and as such the parts list that is...

Hello, this is the second analysis of my 2016 Ford F150 5.0 V8 with a Roush Supercharger. This run occured between October 2018 and April 2019, and was just a little under 6,000 miles. This is a pleasure vehicle, and operates 80/20 highway to city, with frequent 1/4th mile drag runs and during...

Hello, figured I'd post this UOA on my 2016 Ford F150 5.0 with a Roush supercharger. During this run I was using Amsoil SS 5w-30 with 10oz of Liqui-Moly MOS2. This run consisted of approximately 4000 miles of hard street driving (approx 6 months), several 1/4th miles runs, over the road engine...

Anyone had the chance to drive one? Anyone own one? I've been on the market to replace my aging Focus, and I've driven all sorts of vehicles. I had settled on a used 2011 Mustang GT or 2010 Comaro SS, but by chance I got the opportunity to take a drive in a Scion FR-S. Turned out to be a...

My father recently acquired an older (02) Jag XKR. Apparently it uses the sturdy Mercedes Benz W5A580. Seeing as how the car has a few miles on it, I wanted to go through it and refresh all the "lifetime" fluids. I ran into a wall when looking for a suitable transmission fluid. I'm not paying...

Searched, most recent thread is from 09...time for another! As the title says, post pictures of your pets! Oscar - Male bearded dragon. Bacon - Female bearded dragon.

I've been amounting a mass of used oil filters for the day when I finally get a filter cutter. Alas, that day hasn't yet come, and the need to clear some shelf space prompted me to just man up and hack these filters open with the tools on hand (chisel and tin snips). So, I present to you a...

Recently I've been helping my father resurrect an old honda that's been sitting dead in his garage for the last year or so. It had a blown head gasket, and we were debating whether it was even worth fixing (89 accord SEI). As a fun project, we decided to get it running again...and during the...

Fram extended guard XG 3614 I have one of these sitting in my garage. Upon inspection, I did not see a bypass valve, but this particular application calls for one. According to a Wix filter cross reference, this filter should have a bypass valve. The filter was destined for a beater, but a...

I did a search, nothing really came up. I am currently flushing my fathers old honda accord. To make life easier, we are simply doing the drain, refil, run, drain, and so on method. I removed the thermostat to make things a bit faster, and the heater is always on high. My question is, whats a...

With a 90* adapter I can practically mount any 3/4-16 threaded filter with a 8-11psi bypass setting. The filter specced for my car is an fl-910 As you can see, it is rather small. By using a filter such as an FL1A I could increase my oil capacity by almost half a quart. I could go even bigger...

It appears many have experienced the recent M1 price hike, and are not happy, myself included. Yesterday, I bought 7 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum instead of M1EP. I can't justify spending over $6 for a quart of oil when it has been proven to be no better than most other synthetics. So, with...

I say use it. I don't know if it is the same with the Honda, but the on the Prius, the gas motors constantly starts and stops around town...I would want the best start up protection I could get.
