    GC in honda 2.0Si?

    my prelude seems to only use about 1/2 a quart or so in 3k miles, i have noticed no leaks, so i assume it's burning it. i've seen other older hondas burn quite a bit of oil, i used to have a civic that did about a quart every 250 miles (still ran great though), and a friend of mine has an accord...

    GC in honda 2.0Si?

    mostly it would be too heavy of an oil for an engine of this size, i have heard people complaining about GC for this. there is also the old "don't use synthetic on cars this old, not designed for it" line, but i think most of us on here give no credibility to that. honda recommends 5w30 for all...

    GC in honda 2.0Si?

    i'm thinking of running GC in my recently purchased 89 prelude 2.0Si. i thought this would be a good choice for the engine, but reading on here this afternoon, it seems some people would differ. i'd probably run 10k OCI's. your thoughts?

    interesting experience with techron and jeep 4.0

    over the last 6 months or so, my jeep has developed a stumble a idle, so i tried the usual list of things, replacing plugs, MAP sensor, etc, looking for a problem. I then tried running a bottle of chevron techron injector cleaner though it, and it IMMEDIATELY drove perfectly, no stumble, no...

    Inner filter media support tube on Champion labs filters for GM LT/LS engines ??!!

    though you are certainly correct in that the rest of the filter needs only flow as well as inlet hole, it's not simply area that is important in that calculation. I'm no fluid dynamics expert (at least not enough to explain this well) but i can tell you for certain that the flow through a...

    European Boutique oil

    not to hijack your thread, but on the topic of european "boutique oils," has anyone used lubro-moly brand oils? www.audiquattroparts.com sells several lines of their oil, (they're a good source for older audi parts by the way) but i never tried them and haven't heard of them from anywhere else i...

    anyone cut open thet new fram that comes in a can?

    well, there's a pic right there on the first page of the forum. i guess i'm the idiot here seems like it's better than the regular frams, but not that great with the cheap bypass valve. i'll stick to the wix, maybe they'll move to a can-packed business model so i can have it all

    extended drain on wix/napa gold?

    i'm switching to synthetic oil in my jeep (4.0L six) and want to do 7500 to 10k mile oil changes. I've been happy with the napa gold 1085 so far, and have heard a lot of good about the napa gold/wix in general, but is it up to this long of a a change interval? would it be worth going to a Mobil...
