Had a little trouble putting the filter mag back on after a filter change last night and I got to wondering. Usually I am able to just let it snap on in the middle of the filter, well this time it got stuck half way on and I had to slide it back off and try again. Would this have pulled the...

Maybe this has been resolved long ago... But anyway, I'd like use my filtermag magnetic deal thing on a Royal Purple filter and I know its got the wire mesh holding the synthetic media... in my mind it seems the magnet could really mess up the inside of the filter like twisting ripping and...

The new Motorcrafts have larger outlet holes displayed in a spiral all the way along the inner core, to me it looks exactly like a Wix inside.The threads are cleaner now too. I have been watching these filters for a while and I have noticed an evolution in color and part numbers.Four months ago...

Dad bought three Syntec quarts at Wal-Mart a week or so back.Just now got to change oil on his Geo Metro tonight but when all the old was out and everything put back on, I got to the new oil and realized the seals had been broken on all three; on Syntec bottles you can't really see if the seal...

I met a guy in H.E.B (grocery store) the other day in the automotive section. I was looking at the Type A tranny fluid and this customer comes by with his cart and asks me if I need tranny fluid. Of course I say no but proceed to tell him how I think Type A is really bad and Golden State motor...

Couple weeks back I bought one at Pep Boys Austin,Tx and the valve is orange and hope that really is silicone and not orange rubber.So far no knocking,and at least it works either way.This is the replacement for FL-820S,Wix 51372,Supertech ST2,and Fram PH2. Of all the filters I have tried in...

Down where I live(near Austin) every grocery store has lots of the non detergent straight 30 and 40 weight.They take up most of the shelf space in the automotive section and they cost around $1.15 a quart sometimes more.All the gas stations proudly display them and they cost way more there. The...

I got some Auto-Rx back when it was set up with 500 miles for cleaning and like 1000/1500 miles for rinsing.My 95 Lincoln Town Car has 146,672 miles on it now.Here's what I did: Started at 133,738 with Chevron Supreme and 12 oz Arx.Drove 637 miles. Changed at 134,365 just rinse Chevron.Drove...

Is it effective to use the Schaeffers Blend series 7000 5w30 with 12 oz. of auto-rx? From what I have read about this oil it doesn't have any esters or not much and that it works well with auto rx.I would have to rinse with it too right? Thanks A Lot!

Got the case of 10w30 today.Open it up and notice the gallons were made on 10/07/02 and they are CH-4/SJ rated.Is this stuff too out of date? Okay, the oil is probably OK sealed up and in the unopened case,but SJ is a little old.Also, there is no mention of ISO SYN anywhere on the box or bottle...

Now that I have got 15w40 and the 10w30 will be picked up tomorrow, how much 15w40 should go in for the trip to Cali? Remember its like 3000 miles round trip and will be a great way to rinse the auto rx.I was thinking maybe half and half in my 5 quart system. They are both delo 400 so I don't...

I would like to put the stuff in at the pump but everbody else in my family thinks keeping the additives in the trunk(even just on the day we fill up) is extremely life threatening.Like if they spill sometime and stink real bad or in an accident they would explode/cath on fire or something...

After my 2 3000 mile rinses with Delo 400 I can finally go back to Red Line 5/10w30 with the additives. The additives I want to use: Moly EP 132 5oz. Oil Extreme Concentrate 5oz. Auto-Rx 3oz. Would adding Lube Control to this group be helpful? I would like to go 6000 miles with this brew...

These are very hard to find and I personally have never seen them, but they are on the mobil and chevron websites. Does anyone know a good place to look or is there a place online to get either one? Thanks

Emailed Frank since I went straight to Redline after the 2nd 12oz treatment and I wondered if this was ok.It was not.So he says I will be in rinse mode for 6000 miles(two 3000 mile oil changes).The Redline will have gone about 3000 miles so I am not too disappointed.But I already have the fresh...

They come right out and say that the stuff is only Group II basestock and then talk about how great that is(yeah right)and the engineers/chemists of the oil companies claim its "as good as synthetic".They also say that they use an API approved basic additive package, but the real magic in their...

I have already got the stuff from them and I asked about using it with an upper cylinder lubricant like Lucas and thy said that it would be fine if they were mixed sperately in the gas tank(put some lucas in, pump gas,stop gas,put H2OIL in,pump gas until the tank is full).I would like some...

I have looked and looked and can't find any info on where the PCV valve is located on this car.Got the new pcv valve today at the parts store(took them 3 weeks before they got it) and the thing looks like no other valve I have ever seen! Kind of like a little top for kids to play with. I think...

I will be taking a trip to California 3 weeks from today and I just can't decide which Red Line oil to use.It will take 4 days driving each way for 8 days total of solid driving(okay we are going to visit The Grand Canyon and some various relatives on the way).Once we get there we'll be staying...

Okay, I really need some help on this one!Here's the deal: 1992 Ford Crown Victoria 180,000 miles used regular dino 10w30 most of its life.Right now it is used 3-4 times per week,each time less than 5 miles.When it goes it has 2 folks and a trunk load of stuff(heavy stuff as in tool boxes and...
