Anyone have experience or links about SN Kendall synthetic? I did a search and found a couple good threads but they were pretty old. They may have been about the SM version. The one VOA I found didn't show much add pac wise. Im not even sure which rating it was. Maybe there is more to it than...

I just added my first dose to the current fill in my F150. Half in the gas and half in the oil. Never added it to gas before.. Anyway my current fill has 800 miles on it and still looks like new oil. The oil never gets very dark on the stick with 5k ocis so I will be monitoring color as one...

As a lot of you know I just got my explorer out of the shop. They changed both valve cover gaskets, the lower oil pan gasket, pcv and the airfilter. The tech refilled the engine with PU and installed a Distance+ filter. Is there any reason I should shorten the oci? I would think the filter will...

Got the itch to detail the truck today. It had been quite a while.

Just a pic of my wifes explorer. Hope she appreciates all the work put into every detail of the car

Out of these oils in Xw30 grade, which one offers best wear protection? Im sure all are very close, but this is BITOG! When comparing add packs and uoas what would you think best in terms of wear protection only? QSUD PP PU M1 M1 EP M1 HM M1 AFE SYNPOWER EDGE SYNTEC EDGE TITANIUM If you have...

So I have three quats of kreen on the way. I plan on using it in my truck. What do you guys think, should I use a half quart in the gas and half in the oil every thousand miles or just use it in the oil?

Well I just sent in my first sample to blackstone. I was expecting to get a hard time at the post office, but the experience was actually pleasant. I used the blackstone kit and when I maid it to the teller I told him I wanted to mail it. Before he could say anything I told him it wasn't bodily...

Help me pick my next fill for the F150. It has a history of varnish, so looking for enhanced cleaning capabilities. Cant make up my mind between M1 HM, PU, redline, etc. You pick the brand and I will run it!

Heres some pics of the addition im builing. Just a small bedroom. Couldnt get any contractors to take the job so I bought a couple books and got after it. Demo of old carport

Im about to start putting in crown molding in about an hour. Anyone know the angles used in corners with a compound miter saw?

Is there anything out there to convert regular oil to a hm oil? Like shelf seal condioner that works? Besides Auto-Rx

Well I had the explorer down at the dealership getting some reareend work done and the service writer calls me and says my car has all kinds of problems including multiple oil leaks. I was just under it 2k ago and there were no leaks, so I went down there to check it out. Sure enough the oil pan...

So heres a pic of the differential cover on my explorer. I have never messed with it before but it looks like the 3/8s plug is to fill and the 3/4 plug is to drain. The thing that makes me second guess is that the smaller plug is pretty low. Doesn't look like it will hold much fluid. Anyone...

I have about 40k since the last time I changed the gear oil in the rear of my explorer. Had it done at the dealer with MC fluid. The manual says 50k, but I will probably go ahead and change a little early and check for leaks while im done there. (Common problem with these cars) Anyway, what...

I was reading some of molakules old posts and he was talking about acetylene cleaning varnish. (Manually of coarse) it actually got me thinking of just dumping some in my sump.....might not be such a good idea. Lol Anyway it got me wondering what's the weirdest thing you have put in your oil...

I was talking to a maintenance man who works on stationary turbines and he was telling me how group Is are better at holding varnish in suspension because of polarity. I found it very interesting, because as we all know varnish removal is pretty tough sometimes even with synthetics. I have...

So I just left my local endine builders shop. We were on the subject of motor oil and he tells me there is a new api rating coming out in 2014. He goes to many oil expos and said he heard it from a triboligist who works for Joe Gibbs. From what I hear it sounds like this new oil is going to be...

I just changed my oil today with some castrol txt. The dates on the bottles ranged from 04-05. Before opening I shook them up quite a bit, but after I pouted in the first I noticed some black stuff in the bottom of the bottle around the corners. It wasn't very much so I figured it was just moly...
