    New Amsoil SS 0w16

    Should have picked a different color label than green, similar to the 0w-20 color. I guess a different color cap (black) helps?

    LSjr Tests VOA of 20 yr old Valvoline & 40 yr old Mobil 1 Oil. HPL tests Anti-Foam in Gear Oil.

    The 97 Ram is a true gauge, I have replaced the sending unit with no change, never drops to a unsafe pressure but does fluctuate without any other reason I can think of except maybe the oil is getting airated. Oil is at the correct level, halfway between the full and add lines on the dipstick...

    LSjr Tests VOA of 20 yr old Valvoline & 40 yr old Mobil 1 Oil. HPL tests Anti-Foam in Gear Oil.

    I am wondering if that is why I intermittently have fluctuating oil pressure on my 1997 Dodge Ram 5.9 magnum; maybe my oil from my 10+ year old stash (10w-30 Pennzoil Platinum) lost its’ anti-foaming ability and it is getting foamy and the oil pump is sucking in foamy oil? I might try fresh oil...

    Changes in AC Delco Iridium Sparkplug Numbers for Chevy V-8s

    I was wondering about this as well as I own a gen 3, gen 4 and gen 5 small blocks and the numbers change and vary more than I can keep up with. I guess with further r&d engineers discover ways to improve? Maybe reduce lspi, improve fuel economy, etc. On my LS6 in my 03 vette even the gap got...

    HPL ATF Green - GM 8L45/8L90

    I like the Amsoil SS red cap in my ‘06 Odyssey for the last 175,000 miles and my ‘07 Accord 2.4 for the last 30,000 miles. Both shift quicker and firmer compared to Honda Z1 fluid. My Odyssey has 213,000 miles on it and the trans feels great. (Probably blow up tomorrow, now that I mentioned...

    Most Satisfying Part of an Oil Change

    When the fine glitter comes out from the break-in oil of the 1st early oil change. Pouring in the new oil is fun too, especially when you get the level correct without too much fussing.
