Well, they may have less rolling resistance thus better fuel economy and less fuel used thus higher OCI...:unsure:

Howdy, I have a 98 Mercury 200HP outboard that I am going to remove the oil injection pump on and just pre-mix in the gas tank but the 2-3 gallon oil reservoir is full of Mercury Quicksilver that I'm guessing is 5 years old since that was last time the previous owner used the boat. If it...

I bought the exact same mower a month ago, the HRX217HYA with GCV200 engine after my 15 year old Craftsman with a B&S motor gave out in the middle of mowing. I was looking at them at my dealer two days prior since mine was making a bad knocking sound when starting and stopping and I wanted to...

Thank you all for the responses. Why I love this site for everything car! Forgot to mention that I did do the propane and hose method to check for vacuum leaks to no avail. Should rule out a vacuum leak. I am going to pull air cleaner off and check throttle body for deposits, etc. I never...

Howdy all, I am having some issues with my car and I'm hoping to get some ideas on where to start. I've done some searching and talking to people over the last month but have not found much useful info. The car in question is my daily driver and I could not make my living with out it... 2002...

Good find Rob. Thanks. Looks like it's shot...

Howdy, I'm having some tranny issues in my 94 Chevy 1/2ton 4x4. I'm thinking the trans is gone but just wanted some opinions before I pull it for rebuilding. This is a rebuilt trans that has 60,000 miles on it, 4L60E. Reverse, 1st, 2nd work and shift good. The problem is when it shifts to 3rd...

I have gone 18-20K miles on one filter (every other OCI) in my Civic a couple times. I currently have 9K on my WIX and Mobil 1 AFE 0w20 and I am planning on running both at least 20K, possibly 25K and doing a UOA with cut open filter pics and pics of used oil compared to new M1 AFE. If I don't...

For cheap how about a 75hp shot of NOS? For starters go to fullsizechevy.com, performance section, TBI, and read about Ultimate TBI mods. Cheap mods that will improve power and sometimes economy. But I would also warn you to not wrap up too much money in the 305. I'd save up and do a 350...

That is a very nice drain pan. I have bought a couple of these: Drain Pan Always would leak at the big end for draining due to the plastic thread stripping out and not being able tighten enough. But the last one I bought at WM seems to have more threads and can be tightened sufficiently. I...

1 qt. every 1K miles? I'd just change the filter every 10K or so and probably never change the oil. Gotta love self oil changers....

If it makes you feel better my 5.7l is 5 qts. And to think it has 1/4 million miles at 5,000 OCI with conventional pulling trailers and [censored] in the TX heat. You'll be ok

Ok good deal. Thanks guys. It appears AAP carries the Havoline products so I will check with them. Gotta be cheaper than the stealership.

Looking at girlfriends 2007 KIA Sorento owners manual and it says to change ATF every 105,000 miles under normal maintenance schedule and every 18,000 miles under severe service. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Anyhow, She would probably fall under normal since most of her miles are...
