    Life Expectancy of a Compact Flash memory card

    I have a SanDisk 32MB CF card, I think the serial number is AA9911FA, so I'm guessing its a 1999 issue. It also has A copywrite symbol with 99 beside it. Anyway, I have (had) pictures on it, but the computer says the files or directory are corrupted. When I right click on properties it...

    Ethanol sucks

    We're now using blended fuel (10% ethanol) and I immediately noticed a drop in mileage. The proponents claim that ethanol will help reduce carbon emissions...what a crock. It takes nearly twice the fossil fuel to produce one unit of ethanol energy (129%) from corn, the highest yielder, wheras...

    Latest UOA has elevated silver

    Had a UOA done on my 2005 Honda XR650L with about 5,000 miles on the bike. All numbers were normal (good) but silver went from 3ppm to 9ppm. Can someone tell me where the silver would be coming from? Oil was Esso 15w40 HDEO and was in the crankase for a litle over 600 miles.

    Walmart SuperTech 15w40 HDEO 503 mi Honda XR650L

    I wanted to try this oil in my thumper, knowing that this engine would likely shear down even the expensive oils in fairly short order. I normally change the oil every 500 miles and change the filter every third time. I should mention that I was running a 0w40 hdeo prior to this sample since it...

    Esso XD-3 15w40 HDEO Virgin UOA

    Note from Blackstone Labs; This was a servicable 15w40 diesel-use engine oil. There is nothing special about anything we turned up in this oil. We tend to like oils that are basic with no frills since they cause less trouble than those doctored up with additives that don't agree with all engine...

    Mobil 1 5W30, 1997 Ford Escort, 5,562 mi on oil

    This car belongs to my youngest daughter and is driven mostly on short around town runs. Blackstone actually phoned my residence to alert me to the fact that the oil appears to be contaminated with anti-freeze. We have decided to decrease the OCI and hope the head gasket holds until she...

    Honda XR650L Rotella 0W40 synthetic

    I only use this oil in cold weather at the beginning and end of the riding season, and keep the usage below 500 miles. It should give better protection on those cold morning starts when temps are near or below freezing. Run time is short interval, usually less than 10 minutes to work. Earlier...
