    Used Collinite 476S today.....

    I put only one coat of 476 and didnt get a chance to do another coat over it. I am interested to see how long it will hold up. According to a test , it did not last as long as it was expected

    Why use thicker oil?

    Just run two UOAs with thinner and thicker oils on same vehicle and compare the results. Should be easy to see which one did better.. Oh and it has to be in the same season (winter over winter or summer over summer) and the car should not be new vehicle to keep the comparo more accurate.

    Best way to apply Collinite?

    Can you apply 476 paste wax using PC 7424 with a black pad? How easy or tough it is and what to watch for? Also, anyone use IsoPropanal wipe down prior to this (after polishing)? any tips for that?

    Amsoil ASM 0W-20, 28K, '03 Sable

    Here was my ASM a while ago for 7500 miles. TBN was 3.1 and wear is nearly the same as above.. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...&gonew=1#UNREAD Must be the long drives which is burning the fuel off. However interesting that the vehicle did not use any oil at all... no bypass filter...

    Going to start changing my own oil..question

    I use jack stands (jack is just a way to raise the vehicle) and they are better solution than ramps. Reason being that my drive way is inclined and I cannot use ramps on the road (which btw is inclined as well) inside our townhouse complex. Also, one cannot always use public space for oil...

    The Problem w/Fuel Dilution is not Viscosity Drop

    Well someone ought to tell VW this. They keep recommending 40wt oils in their gas engines. I dont know why their 2.5 gas engine requires 5w40 when my japanese 3.0 comes with 5w20 recommendation.

    Dino or Synthetic? - Your real world experiences

    I use synthetic only because I am a DIY type. I hate to take any more pain than I have to. Frequent oil changes are fine as long as someone else is doing them for you in which case, dino would be just fine.

    Windshield washer fluid frozen

    Draining the entire reservoir is not something I am looking forward to. It will probably take an hour maybe? Funny that leftover summer washer fluid was not much since I almost emptied a jug of winter fluid yesterday into the tank, but nevertheless enough to cause problems.

    Windshield washer fluid frozen

    I used summer fluid for wiper fluid few months ago and apparently did not use it all up before winter arrived. There is still some left over and began to freeze up on me. So I poured 3/4th of Rain-X deIcer fluid (upto -40c?) jug into the washer fluid reservoir yesterday but still doesnt work...

    New GMC 6.0 running Amsoil ASL 5w30...how long?

    ASL in my last run of 8300 miles, tbn dropped to 2+. So I guess you are okay for 10k miles with top up. Mind you I was running 3/4 quart low at 8K.

    2008 Silverado...tick with PP5w30?

    Change over to Eao filter and see if it goes away.. Do you have a wix filter? I do notice that PP is a bit loud than amsoil I had before.. my first time using PP and it is not quiet. However, I had Eao before too so not sure if it is the darn wix.
