I put several small round magnets on the end of my drain plug, and they seem to be doing the job just fine. I couldn't find a magnetic drain plug, but didn't really look hard either, so I used some magnets I had laying around. The first time I used them, the drain plug had break in metals (new...

I'm not sure if this particular motor shears oil much or not, I haven't found anything saying so. I agree, RLI is hard to shear. I sheared it a little, but that was in a turbo'd car I built that saw a lot of track time and was beat on pretty hard. It also had some fuel dilution and I was...

I'm a believer in RLI. I'm going to do a M1 vs. RLI UOA. I've been planning this test for several months and have been super anxious to get it done. I drive 1,500-2,000 miles per month, so it shouldn't take TOO long to do this. I have a 2007 Ford Fusion SEL V6 AWD with 18,XXX miles, currently...

Who makes Mazda filters? I've never heard any manufacturer names thrown around, just that they change periodically.

This is my second ARX treatment in 20k miles. I'm using a M1 filter. Maybe too restrictive, maybe not. I use synthetics full time and figure that by using them and having already done an ARX treatment 20k miles ago, there's not much in the engine that's going to clog the filter. I want the M1 to...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not just a problem with one manufacturer getting fuel dilution, for whatever reason that may be. Most of the vehicles I've seen that are geared toward performance tend to have more fuel dilution than those geared toward being gas sipping DD's, the case between...

I don't have any UOA's to speak of to show viscosity drop on the M1, PP, or RedLine, but, if I'd drain a little and add some fresh oil, the noisey HLA's would go away...for a little while, but not very long. But that way, I'm having to add more oil when the RLI can make it in one OCI. It's...

I've lurked around here for about 2 years and have kept up with RLI (among other things) on this board but haven't said anything yet. I decided that I would put in my 2 cents now. I used 5w40HD in my aftermarket turbo'd '96 Miata with great results (backed by UOA). Normally, I was having to...
