    Switching oils might be the way..?

    Just reading the thread about using the same oil for the life of the car. Then it hits me (I arent to smart), switching up brands every so often could be the way to a healthy engine. Since every oil has a different add pack and will leave behind differing residues. Each will have different...

    K&N

    Today I put a K&N filter on. Man are they sturdy. I have been running Pure Ones before but since I'm running a 10w oil and the temps are just starting to warm up I decided to go with the increased flow for now. Hoping to run a UOA at 3000 miles and see how we are doing. I'll probably go back to...

    Syntec Blend

    Well today I changed from M1 back to Castrol. I put Castrol Syntec Blend 10w/30 and a K&N filter. Went back to 10w as the temps are starting to break. My 2.7L Tacoma sounds quieter than with either the M1 5w/30 or 10w/30. I'm gonna run it for 3000 miles even. If I got $20 laying around then...

    High mileage oils / newer engine

    Looking back we have seen that many of the high mileage formulas look real good with their additives/ antiwear pkgs. So is there any forseeable problem running one of these formulations in a newer engine? If these oils are so good why should/shouldn't we be running em in our newer rides? [...

    Why does the board not like Royal Purple?

    OK looking for actual reasons why Royal Purple isn't given a second look on this board? 1) First there aren't that many "bad" UOAs out there to say that it is a horrible oil. 2) As a company they are very customer friendly and willing to help in any way. 3) Other auto/truck owners on other...

    Royal Purple = Increased HP

    OK last night watchin the Outdoor Channel they had a car show on. They switched ALL the fluids over to RP. Dyno before and after fluid switch showed an increase of over 20 or so HP at the wheels.
