Standard 4.6L V8 in the CVPI, no modifications. Engine has 35K miles on it at time of sample. Very hard use, many hard WOT runs and included some cool ambient temps as well (20's F). Analysis by OAI. They flagged the TBN as abnormal and recommended the oil be changed because of it if not...

Most recent report is on the right. This car has 60K miles on it total. It's nice to see wear metals going down. I am undecided what to run next oil change, I have a bunch of PP 5W30, AND 5W20. I might just mix it up and do 3 qts of each, and see what happens then!! Woo!!! Gettin' crazy in here!!!

I have an 01 Saturn that uses about 1qt/1K miles. It has about 84K miles on it. Not that I really mind the oil consumption actually, it is helping me make headway against my growing free after rebate oil stash. I'm debating doing an Auto-RX cycle on it and see if I can get it under control...

Most recent report is on the right. Mostly highway miles, 0 make up oil. There were probably 20 passes down the 1/4 mile on it as well, about 7-8 of them were hot lapping it too, so I know that was tough. Stupid copper, I wonder if it is just a quirk of this engine type, since this is the...

This has probably already been discussed, but I don't remember reading it anywhere. I checked out the SOPUS tech specs library ( http://www.pzlqs.com/techdata/l7_prodsheet_fs.htm )and did some comparisons. The Horsepower and Advanced all have identical properties. So does the PP 0-20 and PP...

I recently had a problem with my PP having some slime looking deposits on the bottom of the quart containers. I checked my stash of freebie Q (in the clear plastic bottles) and noticed similar deposits through the plastic. I decided to shake vigorously for about 2 minutes, and the deposits were...

What is the difference in their reporting methods? I know Blackstone says 1.0 is their cut off level, meaning it is too low. Is it the same for OAI's testing method too?

I changed my oil the other night and put in some Pennzoil Platinum 5W20 for the first time. I was looking forward to trying it after hearing about how great it was on this site. Anyway, got all the way done and was pouring the last quart in when I noticed the bottom of the container. It had some...

I've been on this forum for several months now and reading it religiously. I still have yet to figure out what SLOB is??? I've figured out most of the other lingo (vsot, uoa, oci, pp, m1....) but can't figure out SLOB!! Help!

I was at O'Reilly's yesterday getting a small vacuum hose and did my obligitory walk through the oil area. I saw some of their house brand oil that said "SA 10-30" in big letter on the front. Upon further reading on the back of the bottle it did say no detergents and not suitable for modern...

How would I clean the induction type filter? I haven't bought mine yet and couldn't find the info on the Amsoil site.
