Audi recommends 0W 40 meeting 511-00 specs. I don't have a clue what options are even widely available but I do know that for the price of this bad boy I need to make sure I use the right oil. I am not concerned about gas mileage (there is no hope) but I do want to protect this engine. I drive...

The recommended OCI is 10K. I plan to keep this car for around 200K. I drive a lot of 5 mile trips. The car currently has 3,400 miles. Without running any analysis I was wondering what the experience of the oil gurus on here would recommend for my 1st OCI and to start going forward. I plan to...

My wife's 2002 Honda CRV-EX with 177K miles calls for 5W-20. She drives 20 miles each way to work primarily highway miles. What would the risks be to use Mobil synthetic 10W-30? Plan is to keep this vehicle another 30K miles but I don't want to kill it in the meantime. I have a stockpile of this...

I have an order in for a Lexus CT200h hybrid and it calls for 0W-20 synthetic at 10,000 intervals. Just curious how many good options there are available....this will be for 90% city driving and a lot of short trips. Thanks.

I bought this car used with 58K miles. I drive about 300 miles per week but I make at least 6 trips a day that are less than 6 miles but do get the oil up to temperature at least once or twice per week. I did the AutoRX thing and after another oil change I started sending UOA to DysonAnalysis...

Last summer I bought a '99 Lexus GS400 with 58K miles and ran the Auto Rx treatment and then put in M1 5W-30 (factory recommended weight). I dirve around 14-15K miles (90% city) a year and make a lot of short trips (4-6 trips of less than 6 miles M-F) and usually get the car up to operating...

I bought a 1999 GS400 with 59K miles and immediately did an Auto RX clean and rinse. I changed the oil yesterday with Mobil One 5W-30 and plan to change again in 7,500 miles (I added 6 oz of LC yesterday and plan maintenance doses of 1 oz every 1K miles). I was planning on doing a UOA on the...

I recently purchased a 1999 GS400 with 62K miles. I don't know anything about the maintenance history (except what the Lexus dealer can pull on their computer) so I decided to drain and fill (2 quarts each time and I did it 3 times) the transmission fluid. I used the recommended Lexus...

I recently bought this GS 400 with 59K miles and want to change the various fluids and need recommendations. The power steering fluid was just changed but I wanted to change the transmission fluid and brake fluid. Should I use Toyota fluids or does SF or someone else have a better product? Is...

Not hardly.....the detail nuts are at www.autopia.com which is to detailing what this site is to oil nuts. Personally I wax my car anywhere from 10-20 times a year. I often do it weekly - not because it needs it but because it is so easy to do and I enjoy spending 20-40 minutes waxing my car. I...

Costco has a Karcher with the Honda 6.0 hp engine rated at 2650 psi and 2.6 gpm. It has a 30 ft hose, 5 quick connect nozzles, detergent siphon, and a Karcher commercial grade pump. Cost is $399. I have no experience with these animals but from what I read this one sounds like a decent value...

Approaching 60K miles and wanted to change this fluid soon. Is this something I could do myself (another words not to complicated and does not require special tools or knowledge)? What would you guys recommend? Is there something better or a better value than Honda fluid?

The first set of numbers represent mileage on Schaeffers Supreme 7000 5W-30 for 6,164 miles and the 2nd set of numbers are for Schaeffers Supreme 7000 10W-30 for 9,781 miles with 6 oz. of Lube Control added at prior oil change. I did run an Auto RX flush with and rinse using SuperTech 5W-30...

This is a manual transmission Honda Accord with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. It is driven almost all city mileage with 6 trips each day under 5 miles during the week and about 10 trips each week between 10-15 miles. I changed the factory fill oil at 2,959 miles to Schaeffer's Supreme 7000...

I did a full Auto/RX treatment to both a 2002 Honda CRV-EX with 47K miles on it and a 2003 Honda Accord with 12K miles (I know many of you think this was stupid but I did not think it would hurt to get rid of contaminants from a new engine). Neither car had problems before the treatments and I...

I ordered both LC and FP together and before thinking about it very much I used the dispenser that came with the order for the Lube Control. I am ready to begin using the Fuel Power now and wondered what kind of container to use for smaller quantities. What grade of plastic do I need? Does...

I was wondering how many people on this site have actually tried this oil for a couple of OCI's and then changed to something else? If someone did change back to another oil I was wondering if it was for any reason other than availability. It doesn't seem like there are very many bad UOA's from...

I was going to use some AutoRX in my manual transmission but do not know if I can. It looks to me like their is no drain plug....only a filler hole where you check fluid level with your finger. Does the fluid have to be sucked out to change the fluid? Of course the problem may be that I am just...

Ran the factory fill oil for 2,959 miles and then changed to the Schaeffers for a 5,078 OCI using OEM Honda Filtech filters each time. The problem with this car is that I make at least 4 trips per work day that are less than 5 miles. The UOA noted "positive fuel dilution and viscosity reduction...

This is the wife's ride. She commutes about 18 miles each way to work primarily on the interstate. This makes the 3rd oil change interval with Schaeffers in the car and it now has 41,239 miles and this OCI was for 6,164 miles using a SuperTech oil filter. This analysis was done by Schaeffers and...
