Latest sample from my van. PP 5w30 (active cleansing labeled) Superteck ST8A filter (oversize) Silicon is still a mystery so a new Fram air filter went in after this oil change. Looks like it got a little thick again which is why I chose the 5w20 this time over the 5w30. Pretty happy otherwise...

How do you guys and gals feel about this? I think what he did to those dogs was disgusting and horrible. I think he served adequate time in jail. I was actually surprised he got 18 months. I gotta say the thought of this guy signing a multimillion dollar contract make me ill. Do you think any...

I think this may be the best stuffout there Ulitmate oil additive

I've only seen these and Canadian Tire. No reference to them on General's website. Anyone have any experience with them. They look an awful lot like the Altimax line with a modified tread. Anyone?

Latest sample post LIM repair. 1st sample was right after I got the vehicle back from repair. They (The GM Dealer) did not change the oil (or even recommend) after repair!! I changed it immediately when I got home. Obviously not what I was hoping for... I think I will change out the Syntec...

So I was checking the oil on my 03 G Caravan the other day and was surprised how dark it has already become.(3K) I was surprised because I ran my last OCI to 11K (PP 5w30)and although the oil was dark when it was changed it wasn't super black. Last oil was analyzed by Blackstone and they said it...

Whats your take on fuel filter replacements? If my vehicle has an external fuel filter I always change them around 50k (km). With the high price of replacement for in tank fuel pumps and injectors it seem silly to me to neglect a $5-30 part that only needs to be changed once every few years for...

I have searched but nobody seems to discuss Castrol Tection Extra. Good, Bad, So-So, Overpriced? I see 5 Gal pails occasionally at some Costco's and it seems reasonably priced. I don't have my diesel anymore so I'm not really in the market anymore but I'm surprised nobody hear uses it. Castrol...

First analysis on van, recently bought it. Run for 18,000km or 11000 miles (6 months) 95% highway Miles through the Midwest and a cold winter. Iron not horrible but higher than I'd like. Not sure the source of the Silicon. Air filter is a new factory Mopar. Blackstone says to run it longer but I...

Just had the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets replaced on my Wife's 03 Alero. Dealer covered it under powertrain warranty. (Whew...) Looks like the tech did a decent job, but DID NOT change the engine oil! They only topped it up according to the invoice.(Over filled actually) Coolant...

Regarding Limited Slip Differential additives. Are they all pretty much the same? Are different types better depending on LSD design? (metal vs organic friction clutch) I've seen some aftermarket mfgrs (Auburn) recommend the factory Ford and GM additive (by part #) for their units, making me...

I was at a US Wal-mart today oil shopping (love the US price on M1 & PP btw)and most of the 5w30 Mobil 1 was badged Truck & SUV. Any one seen this stuff before? A search of BITOG didn't show it. It this something new / old? It claims on the bottle to have extra 'performance additive' for trucks...

copy and past from December GM Tech Link Over the years there has been an overabundance of engine oil myths (fig. 1). Here are some facts you may want to pass along to customers to help debunk the fiction behind these myths. The Pennsylvania Crude Myth -- This myth is based on a...
