    AMSOIL's Briteside Rain Clear alternative?

    Hey guys, long time no see. Now that AMSOIL has discontinued BriteSide rain clear, what should I use? I don't care for Aquapel's price. Rain-X just doesn't work as well as the Rain Clear did.

    Pontiac Grand Prix 3.0 4010 Mile Auto-rx Cleaning Phase

    First off, Frank, if you see this I already know you're going to say, "Follow the directions." It's not my car. I'm a Ford guy. This is my best friend's grand prix and I have no control over when he has time to hang out and change his oil. =) I believe it has 104k miles on it now. Or maybe...

    FP Shock Dose

    Considering I put little faith in either of those two products, but I love my FP60 to death I'm going to recommend just starting in on your FP60 treatments. I've seen the intake ports and valves on my crown vics head. It had 140k miles on it roughly when I did and only about 6k miles of FP60...

    04 GTX Supercharged clutch/syn question

    I don't know diddly about jet skis, but a friend of mine asked me this: I also post on a SeaDoo board, bc I have an 04 GTX Supercharged ski. Bombardier claims that you need/must use the conventional motor oil (which incidently is made and bottled by Castrol and is in fact Castrol GTX) and do...

    FP users and clean tailpipes, who and who hasn't?

    I've heard not everyone gets a clean tailpipe, but how many of you have experienced it? After 6 or 8 months of FP I still don't have it. Most likely gone through a gallon on this car alone. Other car has had about a half gallon of FP so far. Then again, my cars are a 94 and 98, so maybe just...

    The Perfect Engine Oil? Keep your eyes open for this!!!

    Where have I heard somthing silimar like this before?....and then laughed. Edit: No one would switch to it anyways. If everyone thinks "synthetics" are too thin and will cause leaks just imagine "nano-synthetics" bad reputation!

    New Durablend or just a new bottle?

    I was at walmart the other day and saw a new Durablend. Either that or it was just a new label on the bottle. I didn't really pay attention since it's just Valvoline. I think it was for "Tough Conditions" or something like that. Marketing at it's best.

    Group III 10w30...how cold?

    What's about the bottom average morning temp the average group III 10w30 should be used? Looking for rough estimates, not the whole, "Well give us the CCS viscosity and the pour point and this and that."

    oil temp gauge installation

    Well, it appears I'm going to have to drill a hole into my oil pan. =( I know the best way is to remove the oil pan, but how bad would it be to just go nuts and drill into it with it still on. Then fill it with oil and drain it back out before turning it on hoping to remove any shavings? I'm...

    Synthetic molecule size

    I tried searching, but couldn't find the right keywords to find what I wanted. We all know synthetic molecules are uniform, but are they larger, smaller, roughly the same size so it doesn't matter and people are stupid for thinking it "slips" into places it shouldn't when compared to an average...

    Detergents VS Dispersants

    If you have to use the analogy of soap and water. I think I've had it backwards this whole time. You can go into more detail if you want. The oil glossary just confused me more.

    Reasons why flushing machines are bad?

    Alright, I used search, couldn't find it. To top it off it takes like 5 minutes to search all the forums and I tried like 4 times. I could have sworn I read a great thread on here about why it's bad to use the machines. I just wanted to read it again. I completely support the old fashion way...

    Quesion for AMSOIL dealers

    Have you done the "Home Study" program? Was it worth the money? Was getting all 7 of them worth the money? Did you learn anything? I just got one (Oil Analysis) and I can honestly say I knew more from reading this site for the past few months than reading that book. I didn't know if the other...
