If you want to test gloves, test'em, seals test'em. To test gloves to determine what is going to happen to a seal doesn't add up for me.

Do you plan on fixing that leak?

So I guess me, Demarpaint, and a few others were correct saying they were designed to break down. Why blame MMO, oil, Kreen,or anything else then? If you're looking for the best gloves, that's cool, if this is to slam any products, I think its a lousy attempt.

I am not disagreeing with the fact, that both gauges are a big help but, do they really tell you what is happening to the bearings, rings and cylinders? I don't think the gauges could provide that info w-o uoa or ripping down an engine. Didn't we have a member who used to post here that lost an...

Originally Posted By: randomhero439 I dont hate Royal Purple. But I dislike all the hype it gets when its not any better than any other name-brand synthetic oil. The price sucks as well. A lot of people feel that way about Amsoil, and a few others. If I can get any synthetic oil cheap enough...

I'm going with trav on this one. There's too much money riding on an oil pressure gauge for my liking. I mean there's nothing wrong with an oil pressure gauge, or a temp gauge but they aren't infallible are they? I've seen an oil gauge stick, tried two different gauges on an engine and got 2...

Originally Posted By: Mystic Yes, you could test various gloves to see which ones would hold up best to motor oil, gasoline, etc. Yea, isn't that what we use gloves for? I hate the stink of gas on my hands. I had a few types of gloves let go in gas real fast, oil not so fast. Other gloves held...

Originally Posted By: 147_Grain Folks don't hate Royal Purple. However, when their standards are lowered (with a change of ownership) and a lower quality product is sold on a previously solid reputation at the same price, people naturally wise-up and look for a better value: i.e. Pennzoil Ultra...

With the great base stock they make that stuff out of I wish they offered it in a 0W30.

RP is good, there is nothing at all wrong with it that I could think of. Although there are a lot of guys here that hate it for one reason or another.

Originally Posted By: Mystic I don't think there is any way to compare a seal on a car with gloves, even if they are made of the same material. The glove may even be engineered to degrade. The seal is designed to last for a while. I guess if you want to judge glove quality it would be a good...

Originally Posted By: SlipperyPete Clevy, It looks like most, if not all, the vehicles in your signature probably call for 30 grade. What is it about M1 0W40 that would make you want to use it in everything? Probably because it is regarded here as one of the very best oils Mobil makes. It is...

My dad had Permatex gloves he bought at Auto Barn, they were about 2 years old when I used them, and some of them would rip just putting the stinking things on. These were stored in the unopened boxes in the basement. I think they're designed to decay with time. When new there was no problems...

Originally Posted By: Bodensee Very good of you to send pictures and nice pictures, but I think sludge is heavy than oil, so some pictures of sump would be big improvement. Have seen diesel blown up by blocks in oil pump feed that looked real good on top, but solid mess in sump. If you remove...

I won't laugh, you will, all the way to the bank! My father and uncle taught me, the way they taught me was telling me how much I'd save by doing the job myself, then showing me how. Then they told me to take that savings and bank it, or invest half in tools that I needed and bank the other...

Why would it blow with one of the very best oils in it?
