    Food grade grease that will handle 572*F ALL day?

    I'd be interested in running a trial with the Bentone based grease. I'm going to confer with NTN and see if that bearing design is favorable to that kind of lubricant. We don't utilize a bulk dispenser, each operator station has it's own grease gun so we'd need 14oz tubes if it comes in that format.

    Food grade grease that will handle 572*F ALL day?

    Any super high temp food grade greases out there. Needs to run at a constant 300*C (572*F) all day long. Right now we're using Shell's highest temp food grade rated grease and we're going through 2 tubes a day, turns to water and ends up on the floor. Shell is going to try some custom...

    Oil recommendations for 2005 Hyundai Elantra 71kmi

    I had an '05 Elantra I bought new, and from 1800 miles to 80,000 miles I ran Amsoil Signature Series 0w30 usually with a NAPA Gold filter. One year intervals and UOA's looked great. Wish I never sold that car.

    Petro-Canada Duron-E in gas engine

    Our municipal fleet has 9000 gas engine vehicles that all use Duron-E. No oil performance related failures, and these are HARD worked vehicles, and some guys aren't the best at getting them booked for LOFs on time (like 50% over mileage is common), extreme load conditions, extreme idle times...

    Amsoil BMK30 and EaBP-120 too big for 6.0L Ford?

    My intervals will be dictated by analysis. I have every confidence my lubricant selection alone will allow for greater OCI's, even without bypass. However, my primary objective is to keep the HEUI injectors alive and fed with oil cleaner than the full flow filtration system can give. Clean oil...

    Amsoil BMK30 and EaBP-120 too big for 6.0L Ford?

    Never seen bypass on smaller vehicles before? Many of my friends and co-workers run bypass on their commuters, gas and diesel, cars and trucks. There's probably hundreds on here that run bypass on their personal vehicles. Benefits carry over to all motors, not just OTR. Clean oil is especially...

    Amsoil BMK30 and EaBP-120 too big for 6.0L Ford?

    I recently acquired the BMK30/EaBP120 combo for a price that was too good to pass up, I'd like to use it on my 6.0L Powerstroke. Other than finding a suitable place to mount the beast is there any problem running such a large system on a pickup truck?

    Corrosion Free 3000?

    It's a GREAT product. We use it on our fleet of state plows and it's completely exceeded all formal testing and on road performance. Nothing else works as well for lasting corrosion protection, that we've found. Each truck can do about 50t of salt a shift, continually running the same road in...

    Boss Lubricants

    I just picked up two pails of their 0w40 for a 6.0L PSD. I'll post UOA's when the interval is up.

    Mobil1 Synthetic ATF did not work in Mercon V app.

    It wasn't "back flushed". The fluid was exchanged without intervention other than T'ing a cooler line. The trans pump does most of the work at idle. It's still closed loop circulation, only now the output fluid is binned and the input fluid is new. The transmission doesn't experience anything...

    Mobil1 Synthetic ATF did not work in Mercon V app.

    Very interesting about the Canadian M1, this I never knew. I must have been on the US site when checking to see if M1 was rated for MerconV. Likely I got the old version of ATF. But....I did have the MerconV spec additive put in with the M1 when the flush was done. I watched the flush as it was...

    Mobil1 Synthetic ATF did not work in Mercon V app.

    I have an '06 F-150 FX4 4x4. I flushed the trans at 30,000 miles with M1 Syn ATF. No problems for about the firt 1000 miles, then I started to notice a few things. From park to reverse pulling out of my driveway the engagement started to become rough. 1st to 2nd shift got to the point where I...

    Rotella T syn. in 04 zx6r?

    Price:Value ratio does it for me. If the Amsoil were better then I'd pay the money, but this Rotella is such a good oil, and now so widely used that with Amsoil all your doing is paying for the name on the bottle at this point. And it's not to say that the Amsoil is inferior, it's not. All...
