Ditto on the Canon A510. I have one and love it. Seriously, my wife is jealous. Well, of that and my oil stash too...

Actually, the code does indicate the date of manufacture, but it is YYDDDXXX. The first two digits are the year, the next three are the day of the year, and the last digits indicate assembly line, etc. (Several hundred engines may share the exact same numbers) Example: 042359az (code) made in...

Sounds like a bad O2 sensor to me. Had the same problem with one of my vehicles. Acted up sporadically for 2 years until it finally just ran like crud one day. New O2 sensor and never another problem. Yours probably has 2, one for each manifold. Have they been replaced? The O2 sensor is one of...

Genuine Honda ATF for best performance, dex iii if you're really desperate (but don't expect good shifting).

Do it. Briggs is even ok with xw30 or xw40 oils if Synthetic. Do it with their blessing.

Bump.

Anyone experience gasoline degrading quickly in a clear/opaque fuel tank that is exposed to sunlight constantly? We have a hydro seeder in our shop with this problem and every 30 days they are back with gas that has gone bad (vinegar-ish), even with fuel stabilizer in the tank. I think I...

Sounds like militec and mt-10. Maybe full of chlorinated hydrocarbons (turns corrosive after awhile, but superslick stuff until the engine rots apart). Give some of our chemistry majors time to chime in. Molakule? By the way, you're not selling this stuff, are you?

This new stuff is not even on their website yet!

Just saw this stuff at Advance, $14.88 I believe!!! Pure synthetic they claim. (but is it really?) Looks like a new animal to pick apart. Maybe better that their bright stock based old standard? Maybe same old crapola? Seems awfully expensive. Maybe it rebuilds your engine while your drive? LOL...

Are there esters in this oil that will interfere with the cleaning cycle? Or are most group III syns OK for A-Rx use? I have a gallon left over, and want to use it up. Frank?

I have several bottles of ATF+3 Chrysler fluid left over from a previous vehicle. Since this is a highly friction modified ATF like Nissanmatic D, would it be OK to use in my 98 Altima? (not as a complete fill, just 1 1/2 qts, along with standard Dexron III 2 1/2 qts) Or should I stick with...

Anyone used this stuff? It is supposed to convert Dexron III to a highly friction modified fluid, equivalent to ATF +3 for chryslers, or Honda, Mitsu, Toyota, or Nissan ATF's. I'm trying it in my Nissan Altima tranny (specs Nissanmatic D), no problems so far. I have used the Lubeguard Red...

Owners manual spec Nissanmatic D, or Dex III if not available.

How many quarts does it take to do the drain and refill?

My confusion was not over current API specs, but rather, would a dual-rated fleet oil (no starburst), do any damage to the cat or other smog control stuff (higher sulfer, etc.), or am I not to worry?

If only I could find GC around Atlanta!! What about Rotella syn 5w-40? Any potential damage to the emmissions components. It's rated SL, but my manual specs at least "SG or SH", and the API Starburst. Am I screwed?

how often do you change it? 30,000? 60,000?

just making sure it didn't get lost again.

This topic got lost yesterday. When I do a search i find it, but the link carries me to a different topic! anyway, the subjects asks the question. what do you guys think, since this engine reportedly shears oil badly? by the way, syns are preferred. mileage is 105k, engine very clean inside...
