Hi, as you all know i have a Motor Guard bypass filter on my van and have been using it for almost 20,000 without changing the oil and it still looks honey color. Never had to add any oil between Tp changes, the oil level always stays full and i frequenty drive at high rpms. I have two...

Murrays has it, as well as Amsoil too

Hi, my friends 91' VR-4 has 135,000 miles on it and he ran nothing but Mobil 1 10W-30 with an OCI of 3,000 all the time. His engine is souped up to about 450hps. His car smokes alittle at startup and says burns alittle bit of oil at full throttle. I was wondering if it's worth considering an...

Hey guys, i heard the whole debate how using anything with lint is bad for the car since it's an abrasive that can get inside your engine. I noticed the Microfiber towelettes are free from lint, would it be safe to use these towels to check oil?? is there maybe another abrasive stuck to these...

Ok guys, here is my sample tell me how it is. The car has about 8,500 miles on it when i took the sample. Oil has only been changed once at 4,800 to s2k 0w-30.

Ok guys i sent an email a while back to synlube and here is the reply: "Do you have results of a 4-ball wear test on your motor oil? I couldn't find it on your website and I would like to do some comparing. Also because your oil is 50 weight, how would you rate its performance in turbocharged...

Hey guys. I searched the forum about this and i couldn't find an answer. Would it be feasable to install a motorguard on a 500R. I've seen people put amsoil on their harleys but I have yet to see a motorguard or similier on a sportbike.

is it ok to put in Valvoline Synpower in my 1995 Ford truck that calls for either "Ford Premium Power Steering Fluid" or Type F ATF? I put some in and i was wondering if i should get rid of it asap since its not recommended.

OK, i still have a leak coming from my full flow filter even after changing from a Frantz Adapter to a Perma-Cool. I have a Amsoil SDF15 filter with a Motor Guard bypass system. The fittings aren't touching the filter thats for sure, so i dunno why it keeps leaking my car must be cursed with the...

The dealer says this car takes a yellow coolant. I asked what it is and they said they don't know. I am assuming it is a low silicate, low phosphate solution. Would the "jaguar coolant" be just rebadged G-05 @ $35/5L? I hope so becuase thats too expensive for coolant.

Change it often, my friend has gone through 3 transmissions within 100,000 miles on his 1998 Honda Civic. Never changed/flushed his tranny.

Hi, i just bought a 1997 Jaguar XJ6 w/ 93,000 miles on it. It has a 4.0L Straight 6 engine with aluminum block & heads. I do not know what the previous owner used in this car, but it had a Jaguar oil filter on there. Currently I put in 10W-40 Valvoline MaxLife. I will be taking it down to...

hey guys, yesterday i switched to G-05 coolant on my 351W. The "old" coolant which i had put in last summer still looks like brand new and my friend will use it in his car Instead of dumping it out. One thing i hate about G-05.. ITS COLORLESS!! I starting mixing and matching coolant when i...

Hey guys, i got my Motor Guard today and I was going to install it until I thought of this. Currently I have in the crankcase mostly 5W-30 SuperSyn but also have a quart of Amsoil s2k in there. I know that once I install this filter I don't have to really drain the oil for a long time (20,000...

I bought some Series 2000 20W-50 Oil and sent it out to my friend with a Harley. He has a 2003 Heritage Softtail classic. It has superate tanks for Oil, Tranny, and Chaincase. Would it be okay to use the s2k in the motor? somebody was scaring me about how it can't have Friction Modifiers since...

When you check your oil level why can't the engine be cold?? Does the oil have THAT MUCH thermal expansion when its warmed up? I checked my oil in my truck when it was cold and it was at the bottom of the shaded region. I was wondering if i should add oil or should i drive it and then check it...

I am running Mobil 1 5W-30, i was alittle low on oil so i topped it off with Amsoil s2k 0W-30, would this cause any problems??

Well depends it is synthetic or not. A petroluem 10W-30 starts to harden even at about 25*F. A good synthetic 10W-30 will still be good down to about 5*F with original fluidity. The wax crystals in regular oil cause the winter abilities to drop alot. Synthetics naturally have better cold start...

What can I do to my engine to reduce wear? We recommend cutting back on excessive idling and short trips, as these driving conditions are harder on an engine. We have also seen very good results from pre-oilers, which are add-on electrical oil pumps that come on when the ignition does to build...
