    2002 Sebring O/C and tune up

    I had recently picked up a 02 Sebring with the 2.7l with approximately 155 k. The previous owner was running Castrol 5w30 and had did an o/c shortly before selling.The oil was clear so I ran with it instead of changing the oil as soon as I buy a used vehicle which is my usual habit. The vehicle...

    The Fireball V6

    A girlfriend in the late 80's had a GM(olds or buick) car with a v6 .Blue with a white vinyl roof.Nice. but way too heavy for that engine. Accel was slow and passing was nerve wracking and top end was not very high. But she was not a great driver so it was a good car for her.

    Purple Power Prime Shine

    I was cleaning a recent purchase (02 Sebring Sedan) and could not find my armor all. The car was not bad interior wise. A day after I got the car I had applied several coats of lemon spray furniture polish which soaked in and disappeared completely within a few minutes leaving no gloss. I also...

    02 Sebring brake fluid

    I'm aware of that . In a month or so I will repeat. Some time later I will repeat again. I've done this a number of times on various ve. It takes a while but eventually it results in a cleaner system. At this point I have better braking than what I had. Which is nice.

    02 Sebring brake fluid

    I recently bought an 02 Sebring sedan with the 2.7. When ever I get a used vehicle I do fluid replacement as I drive it the first few weeks. This time I am starting with the brake fluid as the brakes feel soft and take most of the pedal to get good action. The fluid was brownish and there is...

    Mass loss rating

    Just my limited browsing on the PQIA site led to the observation. Of course I did not look at every oil only about 25-30 that I might would use that are available in my area. Those that I looked at in general the synthetic lower weight oil had ratings in the 11-13 range. The blends and...

    Mass loss rating

    Thanks for the clarification. In my limited browsing it seems that synthetic and lower weight oil has higher Noack values than synthetic blend and conventional oil of mid and heavier weights. This observation was somewhat surprising to me. Of course different add packs probably have some bearing...

    Headlight Lens Restorer Report

    I recently was detailing one of our cars and noticed the headlights had some light haze,no yellowing. I was using Turtle wax 1 and done prep cleaner on the car. So I dabbed some on the head lights and ran the buffer on them for a few minutes. Very clear. Followed up with TW graphene hybrid and...

    Mass loss rating

    PQIA has a mass loss rating in its analysis breakdowns. If I am understanding this industry acceptable loss is 15 percent @250c for 1 hour. Sooo, The lower the rating , the better resistance to heat breakdown . I had never paid much attention to this rating, concentrating on stuff like moly and...
