I've been using the Tearolators in my Toyota for over 7 years now. I currently have a pretty good stock of them I got for under $6 a filter shipped. I've yet to open on and find a tear in it. I've used both the old gold cans the PureOne and the New Model that came out a year ago the Purolator...

I haven't contributed to this forum in years and even back when I was contributing, I did more lurking than anything else. I'm just not as smart as you people, and just don't put the time into analysis and cutting filters open. Anyway, I've gleaned a couple nuggets over the last week that I've...

Hello, I'm going to try to get a neighbors car running for her (and maybe even buy it from her), it is a '64 Pontiac with a 389 that hasn't run in 6 or 7 years, and I do not know the condition of the engine. The car was restored in the early to mid-'90s and is in very good condition, but...

Originally Posted By: Chris142 Your truck has a pressurized overflow bottle so dexcool works well in those. As far as draining... remove the rear heater hose at the water pump and drain it there. Removing the lower hose wont work since the thermostat is in the way of draining. . Thanks for...

My '08 Chevy 2500HD 6.0L is now past 5 years old, has 34K miles on it and I believe that it is time to change the coolant. In prepping to do the job I discovered that the radiator in these vehicles do not have a drain on them and this makes the job a bit harder and more involved, and this has...

There may well be a technical reason why Nissan has decided to keep the 3750/3 mo. OCI, but until someone talks with the engineer that decided that, we may never know. It may help to learn a little Japanese before you begin your journey. I do not put it past auto manufacturers, American...

I've been pretty loyal to M1 over the past decade in the cars and trucks that I have owned, had a short affair with Redline in my Corvette and there's still Redline 75W-90 in the diff of that vehicle. Shell Rotella T5 in my Kubota diesel tractor, although I have only owned that for a few years...

I'm not one of the experts at this site, not even close. I'll only parrot what most people say around here, but here is my .02. Use the recommended viscosities that the manufacturers are stating to use, or use the 0w-xx that matches the recommended operating temp viscosity. Do a search on Mobil1...

Originally Posted By: Coprolite I would go for PU or PP 5w30 or M1 0w-40. Your '90 350 is nowhere near the first generation of 350 engines. The first one was introduced in 1967. You are correct, however the overall design and layout of the engine was the same from 1968 to 1985 at which point...

Originally Posted By: 440Magnum Originally Posted By: Bottom_Feeder Curious why you tried 0w20 in a 20+ year old car...? If there was a high ZDDP version of a 0w20 out there, I'd try it in one of my 45 year old big-blocks. I've got a huge oil pressure and volume surplus to throw at a thin oil...

Good question and I figured someone was going to ask it. I tried by the recommendation of educational portion of this website. You know the "oil university"? The guy who wrote heavily endorsed the idea of using 20 over 30 weigth oils, and in general was talking about backing off the viscosity...

Yes, most if not all production small-block Chevy's were using rollers starting in '85 I believe.

Originally Posted By: 2010_FX4 If you want to remain with a synthetic, I would use whichever was cheapest--M1 or Pennzoil Platinum. Another choice might be Quaker State Ultimate Durability (usually about $21 for 5 QTs). How was the M1 working for you before switching to Redline? Any reason not...

Hello All, As you can see in my sig below, I've got a 1990 Corvette with the first generation small-block Chevy 350 in it. I'm the third owner of the car and I can tell you that it has seen nothing but M1 5w30 since it came off the assembly line in late '89, at least up until I owned it. I was...
