    Trying to cut down on oil consumption

    Thanks for the replys, Pablo do you have a link to info on those oils? So far I am on my third oil change with the SSO. It is really strange though because on my last oil change at one point I went almost 5000 before needing a qt of oil. My consumption happens mostly at the START of my oil...

    Trying to cut down on oil consumption

    My 1998 Odyssey has just over 150,000 on it. Currently I am adding a qt of oil every 1200 - 1500 miles. I use Amsoil SS 0W-30. If I switch to something like the Amsoil XL 5W-30 would that help? It gets expensive having to add all the oil! Oh, I change the oil every 10-15k and really like...

    1998 van with scraches - never waxed - what to do?

    Ya it will all be done by hand. I am not afraid of a little hard work to make it look good. Yes, this is my 98 Odyssey in my sig. I would say my goal is to have it look better then most, and to protect the paint from the sun and winter road salt. So, I could use something like Meguiar's ColorX...

    1998 van with scraches - never waxed - what to do?

    I bought it about a year ago, and I guess I did wax it once, but that appears to be the only time it has been done. And now it badly needs another coat or four... Being it is a minivan and has been around kids, it has a lot of scratches. So, what product would work to remove those scratches and...

    Amsoil SS or Europian in a Mercedes?

    I have my 1996 SL320 and once I finish my AutoRX I am going to use either the Amsoil 0W-30 Signature Series or 5W-40 Europian... I am leaning towards the 0W-30 cause I have a lot of it, but want to know what you guys think, and WHY. Thanks!

    AutoRX in 96 Benz SL320

    I have about 88k on her and am going to give it a dose. My question is do I need more then one bottle in there, as the oil capacity is 7.5q? THanks!

    98 Honda burning Amsoil

    I did put in a new PVC. I didn't do a maintenance dose of ARX, but I do have some bottels left so I could add some of that. I have no idea how much/if any oil it burned before I got it. I think I did add a quart back when I first got it with dino oil, but of course I didn't write it down so I...

    98 Honda burning Amsoil

    it is a 1998 Honda Odyssey with 140k on it. I bought it at about 128k, then I did the ARX to it, then I poured in there Amsoil's 0-30 sig series. Since then, (136k is when I did the oil change) I have added a quart every 1000 miles. I am sure it has something to do wtih the synthetic oil, but...

    AutoRX for an old Honda

    I just got done with Auto RX in the tranny of my 98 Odyssey, no problems and a lot of gunk came out. I then did a flush/fill drive for a few minutes, then repeted it 3 times. I also have a 95 Accord but am not going to use AutoRX in there as that seems to be fine. I am going to do it in the...

    Auto RX in a ATV with no filter

    I have a 1991 Honda TRX 200 ATV. It has spent the first 14 years of its life in Alaska and had maybe 2 oil changes if lucky. Anyway, we brought it back to Minnesota with us and it when under acceleration it will smoke oil. Would it do me any good to run some ARX in there or since it doesn't have...

    Just got a Browning BPS

    I only (for the most part) shoot Brownings. I have a Gold Hunter in 12 and 10 gauge, 270 BAR WSM, 300 BAR Win Mag, BL-22, Buckmark, Citori grade 1 & 3, BLR 30-06, and A-bolt Gold madelion 22-250. Every one of them is worth their weight in gold.

    SAE Paper on Universal ATFs

    I veiw Honda Z1 as nothing but junk. I get it out of my HOndas right away when I get them. Honda claims that Z1 must be used, but look at all the tranny failures they have with this fluid (not saying it is the only problem). I would much rather try my luck with synthetic. That is why I use...

    AMSOIL Universal ATF in Acura 5AT

    That is for US autos, Canada has their own limit and I don't think they extended it that far.
