Thanks for the help, guys. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks. She just added that the car stops the pump continuously when the tank is not full.

This is an email from a friend: Thanks so much. I have a 2003 Grand Prix GTP. Its been sitting in my garage for the past 16 months. So I decided I wanted to drive it again, Jumped it and took it to the shop and had a new battery installed. Runs Great. I take it straight to inspections and it...

Thanks for the help guys. My track day looks as if it might be moved to mid July (track not ready). This is good news for me. I hit 600 miles today and got some Vtec time in. Now I guess I have to decide between dino or synthetic change before track day. I am leaning towards dino, then Amsoil...

I have an S2000 with 300 miles on it. At the end of May I have my first track day scheduled. Question is, do I change oil for track day? I plan to with Amsoil 10W30. Also, why does the manual recommend not changing oil before scheduled maintenance time? It lists this as one of three break-in...

That power comes from 8-10 add psi of boost. Should this be considered when deciding oil weight? Might the 10w30 be better, at least for summer?

Buddy has a 2008 Subaru STI and is making 70hp over stock with his mods. He bought Amsoil 10w30 (ATM) and is wondering if he should put 5w30 in (as Subaru calls for 5w30).

Is Amsoil 75w110 ok for the rear diff in a 2007 Honda CRV? If not, what would be the best?

I have a 2001 Town & Country with 57K and aboout to do a tranny fluid change. What is the best ATF to use. Thanks

Being a performance nut, I am interested in seeing Honda use a turbo on performance models. Most of the time you can get better hp/weight ratio with a 4turbo than a V6. Plus, when not revving the engine you can get better mpg than a V6 with the same power(yes, even with that "same power" V6 not...

I hear that the Acura RDX will be coming out and it will have a 4-banger turbo! The RDX will be a smaller SUV than the MDX. I just hope Honda will see the light about turbos as a solution to their torque issues. Maybe put it on SI models like a Civic, or a top of the line S2000?

I think I will wait until this oil is done to decide what is next(about 4k more miles). It sounds as if you guys think the burning is not over, yes? Well, I will keep you all posted. Thanks again.

So, if she continues to not burn oil, what do you guys suggest I put in at the next oil change? That change will likely stay in until the cold weather returns. 10w30, 10w40? Also, I find it hard to believe that a 1/2 quart of 10w40 had much to do about it. The car runs 4k rpm at 80mph, and I...

I have a '98 Honda Prelude with 135k on it that has burned some oil for a while. Since the wife began to drive it the burning got worse. So, last oil change I put in 10w30 rather than the 5w30 and it still burned. Before I took a 960 mile road trip I topped it off with 10w40(1/2 quart) and added...

What were the stock Bridgestones? Some of their tires suck. The Potenza RE92 are stock on many cars, and they are junk. I don't mind feeling the road with higher psi. I am the kind of guy who will give up just about anything for better performance. The car feels much more nimble with higher psi.

These G009s are not new, but I do agree winter tires do much better. Also, I run my tires above the cars recommended psi for mpg and sidewall flex. No abnormal wear has resulted.
