Has anyone ever heard of or used SFR (i.e. Superior Friction Reduction)?

I did an extensive search here and could not find answers so I am posting new. 2002 Dakota 4.7 with approximately 10,000 miles. I switched to Castrol Synthetic 5w-30. (I know they are the company that started the whole controversy of "what is a Synthetic Oil?"). Also installed a Purolater...

1999 Dodge 5.2L, 4x4 auto. A friend just switched to Amsoil synthetic trans fluid over the weekend. Added a little this morning at work as it seemed low, on dipstick. Did the routine check method, engine warm, at curb idle, shift to D then to R and back to netral, etc. Fluid then started leaking...

Is Mobil 1 any good for the rear gears and 4x4 differential in a Dodge Dakota? This is the stuff they sell at Auto Zone. If not , any other suggestions? How are you guys going about changing fluids? I was under there looking around and I only found 1 plug on the gear box. One guy suggested that...

Sorry guys, I did not know wher to post this but maybe you can help. I have heard that I should swap out the 2000 Dakota 4.7 steering fluid to ATF if it feels hard to turn or notchy at cold temps. So my question is what tyepe of ATF? ATF+4 is what I believe they recommend, but only if you do a...

I recently recieved my truck back from the Body Shop (after a pretty serious front end accident). They had to replace the radiator, oil cooler, transmission cooler, condenser, fenders, hood, etc., and I think that some coolant might have contaminated the oil ... and I am looking for assistance...

I have a '98 Dak 5.2 5spd 4x4 with LSD and I'm wondering first of all what are the ID codes of my Tcase and tranny? Where is that labeled? The manual isn't very clear about what fluid I should use but it does say something about using ATF in there. Is that right? ATF in a manual transmission...

I own a Dodge Pickup. Does anyone know how "milky oil" is making it's way into the fill neck? If it was just a moisture issue, wouldn't we see condensation in the baffle area. The milk appearance tells us that the moisture is getting whipped up into the oil. Could it be the airator's that mist...

I wonder if anyone can tell me the specifics on Valvoline ATF for my Dodge vs. Amsoil Universal Synthetic ATF or Redline.

Recently I bought a Dakota and it has already had two oil pumps replaced by the dealer, ... I myself took the engine down to see if I could find what is wrong with the pump. once I got the pump off I noticed that the gasket that goes between the oil pump and the bottom of the block was missing...

I used to be somewhat pleased with my Durango. However, I just had the engine blow on me. The dealer has told me that I did not take care and maintain my truck. That's a load of crap, I had the oil and filter changed every 3-6,000 miles. Dunno, might be wrong, but I'm thinking this engine...

What about O'Rieley's Oil? Is it Valvoline in a different color bottle? Anyone using this? Any Spec's?

I have been doing some research for myself, which might help the group. I have found out that the Baldwin B2-HPG is a full flow syhthetic glass media filter (maybe you guys already knew). It can be used as an oil filter or hydralic filter (yes or no) . It surpass the Mobil1 filter - no problem...

I'll keep my question short. I'm looking for your thoughts on Oil Filter Magnets. Do they work? Pro's / Con's - or are all the claims lies?

I am interested in Redline (API) and Amsoil and I am wondering what the experts can tell me about Increased HP and Cooler Temps for these two oils. How they compare and how they differ. I have two pickups, one stock and one modified for performance. Thanks.

I was watching the race with friends today. They told me that they use Peanut Oil in Nascar. any truth to this --- or is a myth ?

I grabbed an Amsoil catalog at a show this weekend. Question 1) Looking through it I noticed that there are comparisons to other oils. My question is, why is it that the only oil that is compared to Valvoline Synthetic is Series 2000 Synthetic 20w-50 Racing Oil. Is it becuse Valvoline can't...
