    Grease for a semi

    I've been running Chevron ultra duty for a while. It is the recommended grease for Spicer universals and it qorks well after yeas of issues with other greases. But it doesn't seem to last 4000 miles in the front spring bushings and the steering gets a bit sticky. But im sure everything else is...

    Anything wrong with running xd-3 0w30?

    UOA's look fantastic running shell 15w40, but I want to go with a thinner synthetic. xd-3 0w30 is 12 cst at 210F I assume it will shear a bit, since esso is known to load up their synthetics with VII's. Run in a 12 litre volvo diesel engine, semi truck.

    How is this for a UOA? 38149 KM, rotella, Vovlod12

    http://www.oilanalysis.net/CommonFiles/r...UI=DABWIN_61966 Only thing that bugs me is the lead, 2.6 PPM. Honestly I think it might have something to do with the bearings in my air compressor. old samples: 1st(high copper) and 2nd http://www.oilanalysis.net/CommonFiles/r...UI=DABWIN_61966 3rd...

    Anyone have a VOA on molyslip "g"?

    I did a search, and there was a link in one of the searches to a VOA on this stuff, but the link was dead(I assume it was too old). Thanks guys, I'll probably order this stuff for my diffs, if there hasn't been one, I'll get one myself.

    Why do moly-fortified greases always have bad spec

    I've never understood this, many greases, TRC crown & chassis for example, have worse specs when they're the moly version. Is it because the testing doesn't really show the value of having moly in the grease? Is it worth having moly in the grease at all? Or perhaps it takes a while for the...

    Green grease... 0 scar diameter

    They claim a four ball test weld of 800+ kg and a 0.0 mm four ball wear scar. Can't past the website, because you can order right on the front page. I'm sure you guys can find it.

    Frank, couple questions about auto-rx

    Going into a 92 camry 4 banger sludge monster. 1) What oil do you recommend? I noticed you specifically state no synthetic, that presents a problem. Winter can be very cold up here, and I don't do enough miles to warrant changing out oil more then once a year. Should I go with a 20 weight...

    Is pao made from white plastic beads?

    I seem to remember hauling a bunch of plastic beads looking stuff in huge cardboard totes, once out of edmonton, once out of louisiana. I seem to remember PAO or whatever the extended name on the bill of lading. Did I haul the precursor to synthetic oil? Also, shhh don't tell anyone, I once...

    Wouldn't it make sense to add calcium using ARX?

    To help pick up all the garbage? Or does ARX do that on its own?

    Luberfiner Imperial XL vs. Donaldson Endurance

    Both "synthetic media" filters with a decent price difference, I can get the luberfiners for $22 CDN. But it seems as though nobody knows much about them, the endurances are much more well known(amsoil).

    VSOT in diffs?

    Would this stuff be good to put in the diffs of my semi? I'm sure the product I'm using(petrocan traxon) doesn't have moly. It is a good product though, excellent cold characteristics. Would there be something more suitable? How well would Schaeffers #132 work?

    New sample: http://www.oilanalysis.net/CommonFiles/r...UI=DABWIN_61966 Old samples: http://www.oilanalysis.net/CommonFiles/r...UI=DABWIN_61966 I do not know why they didn't combine all 3 together. copper went from 21 to 28 ppm from 11k to 45k, that's excellent. Hopefully this oil change it...

    Grease for a big rig.

    Are aluminum greases the best? How does one compare different greases? For my rig, I use a tube a month. I've had a few u-joint failures, the grease might partially be to blame. I did have bad driveline angles for a while. What do you guys recommend?

    Volvo D12, 11,032 kms, rotella T, some copper

    http://www.oilanalysis.net/CommonFiles/r...UI=DABWIN_61966 I really don't know if that's an unusual amount, it's 50% of the previous amont in PPM/mile. I noticed the tin was high, that's NOT good.
