Any harm in using Techron in the fuel system of my 75 Corvette which is carbureted? Just asking as it's a stronger cleaner, and would possibly clean things up faster. Then use the MMO to keep it clean. Was thinking of 1 or 2 tanks with Techron than a steady maintenance dose of the MMO.

So the brakes were getting softer and softer, till the point the brake warning light came on. The vehicle had new parts installed in 07. After inspection I discovered the front driver side caliper leaking fluid. I replaced the caliper, and bleeded the entire system. The entire brake system was...

I have been out in Western New York state, for the past month for my job. The condition of many cars, out here is just...well terrible. Walking out to my rental car tonight, I couldn't help noticing, chrome bumpers nearly rotted away, on a newer Toyota Tacoma. Many of the Dodge Rams, have the...

So I purchased this from a friend. 65k original miles with a L48 engine. The car runs beautiful, and is in mint condition. I currently have 5 & 10w-30 Redline in my stash. Would either of these be good? Or should I look into a thicker 5 or 10 w-40?

I have been looking back at a few remarks, I have made in a certain thread, on this site and another. I may have come across at times a little shrill, kind of like the Spanish Inquisition. I haven't made that many post's during my 1.5 years on this site, and certainly nobody knows me. I...

My Mustang has had a steady diet of M1. I, then swapped this out to the M1-EP. I, must say the EP oil, until that time was my favorite oil, that I had run in this car. I purchased 2 cases of the 5w-30 Redline. The immediate impression was the car has never been quieter. After 5000 miles the car...

So upon startup the truck smokes quite a bit. The smoking stops after driving a couple blocks. After it quits, it doesn't smoke, at any other time while it is being driven. I am assuming it is the valve seals. What is the harm in continuing running it this way? And if anybody knows what it...

So with my job I travel quite alot. The Sabre naturally sits in my garage the majority of the year. I am wanting to run something through the gas that could clean out my fuel lines and carbs. What I have in my garage is: Chevron Techron super concentrate, MMO, Lucas UCL. I read on different...

I had read during other discussions of MMO, of people using MMO during the rinse phase, of an ARX treatment. What was the feedback reported? Improvement of standard rinse phase, or no difference.

Excuse my ignorance for this question. We are constantly told that when first running the Redline oil in an engine that any UOA's can come back skewed as the oil does considerable cleaning and what not. Just curious if you switch out the transmission fluid would a future analysis of the...

So my wife has a 85 Corvette. Since she got it I put a brand new 6 speed transmission in, and a just recently a rebuilt 5.7l engine, we purchased from a local machine/Corvette shop. I have started her out using PYB 10w-30. How many miles should we run this and how many miles before I switch her...

Would like an explanation of this term. For instance RL 5w-30 says the viscosity index is 162 I believe, while the the RL 10W-30 says the viscosity index is 142. What is the better number, and why. Thanks in advance guys.

I have recently purchased a couple cases of Redline oil and I am wanting to purchase there ATF to swap in as well. My application for these products are a 96 Mustang GT. I see Redline offers the D4 transmission fluid, along with a High temp synthetic ATF. Which would of these would be for my...

It is my understanding older formulations of Mobil 1 contained esters, or POE. Somewhere along the line the switch was made to PAO. What was the reason behind this? Was POE harmful to seals in concentration, or did Mobil decide PAO was as good OR near as good but cheaper, thus more profit.

So I have been going through many many posts on Redline oil. Two questions remain as these are brought up continually in these posts. (1) Redline oil can harm the cats because of the elevated leels of ZDDP. (2) The esters used could potentially damage seals or cause the seals to leak. My own...

will be running a rinse cycle on the ranger. the arx seems to greatly improved the 2.9l tick. currently has formula shell 10w-30 in it. has 143k on the odometer.

I currently have a stash of 5w-30 Mobil 1 ep and 10w-30 redline, 6 qts each. I am toying with the idea of doing a mix of these oils though I am unsure as to the ratio I would do. This would go in a 96 Mustang GT with 68k on the odometer. The current fill is 10w-30 Mobil 1 ep. I have searched but...

Well I am looking for a daily driver and have narrowed it down between a Mercury Grand Marquis and the Oldsmobile Aurora. Both are larger cars and have V8 engines, which is what I like. The Mercury of course uses the 4.6l engine and 4r70w transmission. I am well acquainted with those as I run...

Hello all... I just purchased the above bike. It has the 1100cc motor. I am looking for recommendations on what oil to use for this bike. It has a shaft drive and I am looking to change this out as well, so any recommendations will also be appreciated. The bike has just over 7300 miles on...

This is my 91 Ford Bronco. It has a 302 v8. From the drivers side valve cover there is a tube that runs to the air filter box. The air filter is getting sprayed with oil...Why? and what to do?
