Long journey to get here...but worth it.

Racing oils definitely not geared towards long OCI, for one they usually have much lower TBN. I used VR1 for a good while in my classic car that doesnt get much mileage, I wanted to change it yearly or so, but Valvoline told me by email, 6 months as a MAX for their racing oils.

Mobil 1 is a "has been" ?

Are you sure it's not just the oil change light, i.e. reminder to change. Might just need a reset.

Ignition timing can cause this as well

I run 13000-15000 miles between changes on 6.0L VMax, never need to add.

Link -Chevron Phillips This is from CPChem FAQ on PAO. There is supposed to be a chart in between paragraphs but it wouldn't show up. Link will show it.This site is primarily for producers has some decent info compared to most. Q: Has the quality of Group III base oils achieved equality with...

I tend to agree with above particularly in my situation, 800 ppm vs 1200 ppm wouldn't make a difference in 10 minutes, I've thought that all along. Having said that, I still have to run an oil in the motor, so for the warm fuzzy feeling, I'm sticking with VR-1. Metallurgy could definitely be a...

I think things can be overblown sometimes, HOWEVER,in this case I believe there is some merit to the ZDDP issue. When I had my 67 mustang rebuilt, I went with a few upgrades inlcuding a hotter cam. During break in several cam lobes wiped out. I'm talking about the initial break-in- 20 minute run...

I save it for pile burning when I clear land, works good on ant beds too.

The lean code for my 94 5.0 was 172. If you haven't changed it recently, a clogging fuel filter can cause this due to the reduced flow to injectors. A weak fuel pump or bad HEGO sensor can cause this code also.

"It is this capability to restore seals..." from RX website. This stops short of reconditioning, but in my opinion this exceeds a clean only type statement.

I think people are getting sidetracked (or I am), it's not HOA rules or regs. It seems to be a law or ordinance stating property you purchased and continue to pay taxes on isn't really yours. I'm all for clean neighborhoods and not piling up washing machines in the front yard, but to say you...

Im fairly rural, DTV or Dish are the only options. Had dish for a few years then started having problems, switched to direct about 8-9 yrs ago, no problems at all. HD is top notch, only lose signal during really bad weather.

A few years after 63, but my 67 mustang states to change every 6000 miles and to use Rotunda premium engine oil and filters.
