    Even though it runs fine, I have noticed a smoother engine with new plugs.

    Do gaskets and seals leak when a car sits in the garage not driven?

    Yes, my 03 Z06 is leaking some, (engine and transmission) seems to slow when driven more, as I guess the seals swell some with use. Not bad enough to fix, but a little annoying.

    Should a transfer case have a magnetic drain plug?

    Just put HPL Diff life in all 3 holes of my ‘18 T4R, no magnet for transfer case.

    HPL NoVII 5w-30, will my ‘18 4Runner like it?

    Just seems odd to me to run an Euro oil in a car spec'd for a API oil and I may end up running this in other vehicles as well that call for a Dexos1gen3 oil. Also, was looking at HPL SuperCar 0w-30, but is SL rated. Not looking at shortening the life of the catalytic convertors.

    HPL NoVII 5w-30, will my ‘18 4Runner like it?

    Don't have the details yet. But last year it was good, and worth waiting for. Probably 20-25% off and a deal on shipping.

    HPL NoVII 5w-30, will my ‘18 4Runner like it?

    Getting ready for the 4th July HPL sale… Currently running Amsoil 0w-30 sig.series in the 1GR-FE in the T4R. Looking to make the move to HPL and favoring the NoVII 5w-30 from the specs. especially the HTHS of 3.399. 2nd choice would be maybe the PPPCMO in 5w-30. I am not seeking a Euro oil...

    Denso style oil filters - how do they avoid bypass?

    I think the pleats are glued on the inside, maybe the one was defective?

    GM L84 5.3L DFM Engine Oil 0W-30 A Good or Bad Idea?

    Sounds good to me! Especially from a brand known to use quality Viscosity Index Improvers, since more VII are used in a 0w-30. Amsoil 5w-30 sig series just went in my L83 and Amsoil 0w-30 is in my ‘18 4Runner since 1st change. both call for 0w-20, both quieter with the 30wt, especially the...

    oil recommendation for GM 5.3L trucks

    Amsoil 5w-30 sig.series went in the 16 Suburban today as I already had it on the shelf. Maybe HPL next time!

    Re-Looking at Amsoil for problem engines.(Ford Ecoboost and GM 5.3/6.2)

    Even though a boutique oil may not fix the problem, it may delay the problem from showing up. If I can get 200,000 miles out of the engine rather than 125,000 miles it is worth it to me.

    oil recommendation for GM 5.3L trucks

    5w-30 is going into my ‘16 Suburban next month, just deciding if I want to go with: HPL NoVII 5w-30 (I like the 3.399 hths) HPL PPPCMO 5w-30 HPL PPCMO 5w-30 or Amsoil SS 5w-30 (I have on the shelf) whichever I chose I will run the full OLM for my changes.

    2021 Odyssey oil spec

    Yep, I will be bumping up a grade in many of my applications. Probably be running a x-30 in pretty much everything, especially in the warmer months of the year.

    HPL No VII 5w-30 in L83

    With the move of L87 engines moving from a 0w-20 to a 0w-40, I am now confident that the LT engines will live a longer life with a oil with a higher HTHS. 0w-40 seems like quite the move going 2 levels up. Might even hit fuel mileage a little. Also significant VII that are prone to shear and...
