:ROFLMAO: :poop: A discussion on the Crosstrek forum about how acceptable oil levels may or may not affect oil pressure. :rolleyes: Here's a little snippet. https://www.subaruxvforum.com/threads/oil-amount-and-its-effect-on-oil-pressure.186001/

OK, I've been doing lots of reading on these oils and such and what I am about to ask has probably been asked before...so please bear with me. :) I'm just struggling trying to grasp how the different approvals compare to each other. I'm seeking some help from the well informed on this site, as...

I see on https://www.gmdexos.com/brands/dexos1_3/index.html, Valvoline's EP 0w20 IS DEXOS 1 GEN 3 approved, however, on Valvoline's website and on the bottles it only states it's Gen 2 approved. If it is indeed GEN 3, why wouldn't they mark it as such on the bottles? If it's a case of old...

I ended up finding and buying 3 - 6 packs of AAP Fram Titanium FS10575 filters on eBay. Got them for $8.53ea filter after tax. The date code on all of them are 10853.....so March 26, 2021 3rd shift. I believe they all have the wire mesh, as when I shine a light in them I am pretty sure I can see...

I know I'm doing way more reading/research and over thinking than I need to, but I'm trying to decide on an oil. Lot of the posts I've found on 0w20 oils are from before the SP spec. I ended up ordering two 5 gallon jugs of Valvoline EP 0w20 for $22.98ea. Although I ran across some threads on...

This is my first UOA with this car. It was in service for 15 months and car sat with it in during winter storage this past winter. Any comments? I do have a Vararam CAI (modified by me and mechanically clamped together, so I know it's not leaking). It has a Green filter, which seems to be doing...

As some of you may be aware of, the Tremec TR6060 found in the newer Vettes seem to have some pretty notchy 1-2 shifting when cold. This summer I changed mine out to RP Synchromax and it seemed to help a bit. However it's now getting cooler here in WI and the last couple times I took the car out...

My parents just bought a 2003 Numar motorhome that has a -gas- '03 GM 8.1L Vortec in it with the Allison tranny. I am trying to figure out what oil would be best to run in it. I searched and came across -THIS- thread whom some seem to recommend a good heavy duty oil like 5w40 Delvac/Rotella. He...

Took a ride up there a couple weeks ago and snapped a couple pics.

This is my first UOA using GC. I switched to GC after doing 2 cleaning/rinse cycles of Auto RX. I also added, I believe, 8 oz of LC with the initial fill and about 1.5 ounces per 1,000 miles. So, what do you guys think?? The only thing that concerns me I guess is the silicon. I run a ram air...

I used all of Menzerna's stuff (Final Polish II, glaze and FMJ) There is not a swirl in it in direct sunlight and I am very pleased with how it turned out. The paint was actually in very good condition before I started, but I do like this Menzerna stuff. I also used the FMJ on my chrome rims to...

I am thinking of running Redline's Shockproof in my '00 Firehawk. I don't know if this is a good choice and if it is what one to run (superlight, light or heavy)? If it's not a good choice to run it then what do you guys recommend? I don't drag race the car at all. I am just looking for a good...

I just replaced a Baldwin PA2178 with a Wix 46144 and I decided to count the number of pleats. I also have my original AC A917C to compare it to. In case anyway cares, this is the result: Stock AC A917C: 109 pleats Baldwin PA2178: 138 pleats Wix 46144: 144 pleats I really am impressed with...

Got it off of LS2.com, seeing you have to register, I will link to the pics...by the way, this is NOT me this happened to nor is it my sister. Paul Story: http://www.poulindressage.com/images/toyota/IMG_1004.JPG http://www.poulindressage.com/images/toyota/IMG_1006.JPG...

Hi guys, I changed my friends coolant in her '95 TA with around 45,000 miles on it. I am pretty sure it was the original coolant..anyway, it smelled burnt, what would cause it to smell like that? Also, when I opened the petcock and drained it out, it had like a brown tint to it, but when I...

This weekend I got the chance to flush my LS1 cooling system after 51,000 miles. I bought 34 gallons of distilled water, 2 jugs of Prestone Super Radiator Cleaner and 2 gallons of Zerex G05 antifreeze and then began the process. I drained and re-filled the system a bunch of times to get mostly...

Hello, I am just wondering if it's safe to add an initial dose of 6oz (1oz per quart of oil) L.C. to GC? What got me worrying is the lastest replies to this post: http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000765 which was originally posted quite awhile ago and was...

Hello, a friend of my dads had a shop build him a motor (3.8L turbo for the GN). The first one they built let go on the dyno right after they built it with no street miles. They built him a new motor and told him that they are not going to warrantee it anymore. Well, with only 800 miles on the...

Has anybody ran back to back UOA's of GC vs the US Syntec 0w30 in their vehicle? Just curious to see if there is a noticeable difference in wear to justify all the hype of the German stuff vs. the domestic stuff. thanks Paul

I decided that since I had previously bought 7 quarts of this stuff and have yet to use it I wanted to see if I could get a decent enough stockpile of GC to begin using it when my Firehawk comes out of storage in Spring. If it wasn't available I wasn't going to run it one time and switch to...
