VOA Motul 8100 Power 5W-40 with Esters.

Earlier I did a VOA on BMW's Twin Power Turbo LL-01 FE 0W30 SP which appears to be the new Castrol product located here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/bmw-twin-power-turbo-tpt-0w30-api-sp.340420/#post-5751285 I acquired some Motil Specific LL-01 FE in 5W30 and sent off a fresh...

I tried to do some searching to see if anyone has posted a VOA of this stuff and it appears no one has. I did a VOA on this stuff fo no particular reason other than to fulfill my own curiosity. Feel free to chime in about it.

I do about 80% city driving and 20% highway driving as my work is 4 miles away from home. Try my hardest to always take the long way to work and home to get the engine oil temps as high as possible. Needless to say, I’m probably in the category of “severe driving conditions” and why I am...

This is my third UOA on my car and the first time using Motul X-Cess 5w40 in this car. Previous UOA was with Mobil 1 0w40, however, I wasn't really happy how the engine sounded with cold starts. With the Motul oil, the engine hummed with every single cold start. Not sure what to think of this...

I bought this car brand new. At 3,500 miles, I left the original oil filter in place but dumped out the factory oil for Mobil 1 0w-40. I ran the Mobile 1 0w-40 for roughly 1,500 miles (5,000 on the odometer). At 5,000 miles, the oil and filter were changed using a factory filter and again...

Did a fairly aggressive "break in" like how I normally would drive it. No redline runs until about 1,500 miles. I'd say my miles are 70% city and 30% highway. I kept the factory oil filter in and changed the oil to M1 0w-40 and will have the oil changed again at 5,000 miles per Audi. I got a...

This is my second UOA on this truck. The first UOA I did was taken from the factory fill (986 miles) on the brand new engine as mentioned in my latest test.

Not overly concerned as this is a brand new truck and I have an extended warranty on it. As mentioned, I dumped out the factory fill oil and filter at 986 miles on the engine. Installed an AC Delco PF2232 oil filter and 10 quarts of Mobile Delvac 1300 15w-40. I know there are better oil filters...

For those who know about these weapons, they need grease for them to run. For the longest time, the military was using Plastilube on the Garand's and Lubriplate, but these days, Plastilube is starting to get ridiculously expensive. On ebay, each little grease pot is about .50 cents for...

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask but anyhow. I got a Blackstone oil analysis kit about 3 weeks ago, changed my oil about 2 weeks ago so the kit has been sitting on my desk for 2 weeks now. I had lost my wallet and ironically ran out of checks so I had no way to send the kit back to...

Yup, only 6,200 miles on an '04 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 I just picked up last week. I guess I can't use my name anymore. Anyways, I've had a hiatus when it comes to the auto industry since I no longer work at Kragen...yes!!! 5 years was enough for me. The last time I was here heavily, many...

I haven't done any used oil analysis yet on my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V8. I've got 98,600 miles on her so far running Chevron High Mileage (first oil change with this stuff). Previous oil changes, Chevron supreme 10w-30 was uses. Lately I've been thinking about switching to M1...

I thing I remember something about this particular gear oil only being available in something along the lines of gallon bottles or such. Anybody ever use this stuff before? #167 Moly Synthetic Gear Lube 75W-140 (ISO 150, 220, 320, 460, 680) (Pure Synthetic) ISO 220. Pour Point -70° F. AGMA 5...

Looking for a high quality grease (preferably Schaeffers) to replace the last bit of Royal Purple grease I had in my grease gun. From what I understand, the RP stuff is aluminum based as is #274 from Schaeffers. Would that be ok to mix? What I'm going to be mainly greasing are my ball joints...

What I mean is, would 1500 miles be ok to leave Auto-RX in my tranny? I was only going to leave it in for 1000 miles per Frank's instructions but UPS lost my package full of jeep/tranny parts so I'm going to have to wait a little longer. I was planning on doing the flush over the weekend. My...

I've had my '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee for almost a year now. When I first got it, I did a tranny filter and gasket on it and topped it off with 5.5 quarts of Valvoline ATF +3. Is Castrol ATF +3 any better than valvoline? Did the search, didn't find much. I dont plan on doing the ATF +4 or the...

Would it be ok to mix in 2 quarts of the Chevron high mile oil with regular Chevron Supreme? Right now i have 2 quarts of that high mile stuff lying around and 3 quarts of the regular stuff. I have 400 miles left until I need an oil change as I'm currently doing an Auto-Rx clean phase on my Jeep...

I just added Auto-Rx into my '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V8 (97,000 miles) and the 44RE (junk!) tranny and took a good 45 minute drive to make sure it gets a good mixing. I will try to keep and update on the results I'm getting. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed in hoping that it's...

Anybody have any clue how long the first treatment in the transmission will last until the next treatment if need be? [ February 24, 2004, 03:19 AM: Message edited by: CrazyJeeper ]
