Hey guys, so I was doing some reading and I found this article someone sent it to me or something, but about half way down the page it starts talking about SM rated oils being bad for engines with flat tappet cams b/c the SM rated oils dropped the level of ZDDP which is used for protecting the...

So, I got this done a while ago but never posted it up...what do you guys think? Was it lined up to go till 10K? I think I changed it at 7500mi. Here's the report: CLIFF: Interesting to see you haven't changed this oil out yet, because it's still good to use. Wear was very good in this sample...

Hey guys, I made a similar post over in the DCMO forum...I'm wondering what you experts think the best cheap oil filter is. I figured this would have been a common post but to my surprise I didn't find it in a search. I intend to run PP once again in my Mark VIII which has a 4.6 all aluminum...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on, but I never stop thinking about you all! So, I did a search and to my amazement, what I thought would have been a common thread was nonexistent. I have been running PP at 7500mi OCI's, but times are tough and if I can get away with running an...

Hey guys! It's been quite a while, but don't think I ever stop thinking about you My dad and I are "restoring" a jet boat and I pulled the fuel pickups out of the tanks to find them all clogged up. I have a feeling there is quite a bit of sludgey [censored] down in those tanks and since we...

So, here is my first UOA! They say to go another 1000 miles and get another but I'm trying to save some cash here...how much further do you guys think I can go?

Hey guys, I just finished two cycles with Auto-RX and dino oil and bought some penzoil platinum and a pure one filter... How long do you guys think I will be able to run the oil and the filter. I have ordered a oil analysis kit and will do a UOA when you guys suggest. Thanks for any input! :)

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on. It's good to be back! So here's my question, my dad just bought a 15hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard for his boat and the oil it recomends is either the Yamalube 4-M FC-W oil or a 4-stroke motor oil with this combination of API oil classifications: SE...

Hello all, I've been trying do figure out which oil's I want to start using in my newly acquired '96 Mark VIII. I think I've got the engine oil down but I'm wondering about the differential oil. One person had suggested the Amsoil SVG 75w-90 or 75w-110 but after reading the gear oil test on the...

Hey everyone, basically I'm looking to do what is best for my car but I'm not exactly sure about the whole additive situation... I know that AutoRX is used for cleaning out the engine but I've also read where people are using 3oz maintenance doses, I'm assuming that this is to keep things clean...

Ok, I started a thread here and I got a lot of great general info, but now I want to get a bit more specific. If I learned anything from the other thread it was that the "best oil" is going to be one specifically tailored to my needs and application. I dropped a post in the other thread that...

(After proof reading this, it occurred to me that someone might take offense to my questions. In no way is that intended) Hello all, as is obvious I'm new to this forum and so I hope I don't cross any boundaries with my first post. I first came to this site after being refered here from...
