This is my second oil change. Sig Series with a Wix XP filter. In my last post I was concered about the potassium and the possibility of it using coolant. This sample shows it has dropped. I completely missed the part of the analysis where it shows zero coolant and water.. I guess I got myself...

I changed out the factory fill at around 6k with Sig Series 5w30 and a Wix XP filter. This is my first ever oil analysis and was hoping for some insight from you all. According to the lab that did the test tbn is listed as "base number". I asked them about fuel dilution and the response was "if...

So our 2018 crv needed a new engine. They ordered a brand new short block from Honda. The dealer said they filled it with just synthetic oil.. Im assuming honda oil. So do engine replacements not get the ff "break in" oil everyone talks about?

The valve cover is leaking so I decided to go ahead and knock out the rocker adjustment and do a bit of cleaning. It has 105k and all its life I've been using Amsoil 5w30 SS and amsoil filter once year/10to12 intervals. What do you all think? The dark spots on the rocker arm and the build up...

I've read a few of the threads about using MTF in a manual that calls for ATF. Thing is I didn't find anything on the T56 in fbodys, vettes, and the GTO. Any opinions? Anyone actually own a car with this transmission and has some real world experience? I've used Honda ATF in my Firehawk for many...

I need to get them for our house as it didn't have any when we bought it. I read a thread on another forum about getting one with the ionization/photoelectric combined. Then i started reading about the ones that combine smoke with carbon monoxide and it seems it does the same as the ion/photo...

So I been having the itch for the past few weeks and ended up going to the track(drag strip) last night. With that said, do i know have to change my oil? I'm using Amsoil ASO 5w30 with the EAO 25k filter. Has about 2500miles on it. I probably made a good 6 passes.

Well I just picked me up a new daily driver/work car. I have used M1 40w and now M1 5w40 TDT in my LT1 from the recommendations on here. Difference is the Firehawk was driven from point a to b/driven hard. GTO won't be driven AS hard but I'll be using it to go see customers so it will be doing a...

The trimmer head on my Echo SRM-2400 wont stay clipped in and keeps flying off. Any recommendations on replacement? I also use it for edging. Speaking of that....are there attachments for this model to make it an edger?

So I can get donaldson filters for a pretty good price it seems. I got on thier site and cross ref #'s based on the filters that would be used on the Civic and my Firehawk. Supposedly these are the only ones I can get for them as they do not offer the extended interval filter for the civic. I...

I cannot remember exactly when I put my filter in but i know its atleast a bit over a year old. I check it everytime I fill up and it looks clean and in really good shape. Should i still replace it? It's not so much about the money just more why throw something away if its still good.

Hopefully not a repost. Read it on another forum and thought it was pretty humurous. If World War One was a bar Fight... Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete...

Well its new to me. My uncle got it from a friend of his. An Echo SRM-2400 for 25bucks. Its supposedly only 2yo..not sure though. I ran it today. Started on first pull without useing the choke. I haven't trimmed my lawn since we got the house, about 8months. So the grass was pretty thick and...

Any opinions on this weedeater? It seems new they are around 140bucks. I found someone on craiglist selling one for 75bucks. Says its a year old. Worth looking into? Im a bit weary about buying a used weedeater being many people have troubles out of them when new.

....stating the filter I use for my civic should not be used for the 1yr drain interval and should be replaced according to what honda says to do. This kinda bothers me. Reason I bought Amsoil was for the 1yr interval. Cost is about the same for it but saves me time from changing the oil 3times...

I just got me a used 6.75 Tecumseh Toro with personal pace for 150bucks. The previous owner bought it in Nov 2007 and supposedly used it for less then one season. It starts up on first pull, deck paint isnt even scratched. So it seems to be taken care of. Except for the fact he has never changed...

My cousin just put a blower on his 94 Mustang 5.0 and now im curious as to what oil he should use. He got it dyno'ed and its pushing around 470hp with 10-11psi of boost. He does drive it pretty regularly and it's mostly cruising around/city driving. He has been to the strip a few times but he is...

So ya after a 25dollar autozone reward credit I still paid 35 bucks for 6quarts of M1 40w and M1 filter. I couldnt believe it was that high. I guess it hit me hard since i dont drive the firebird much and doesnt need many oil changes. For that price I shoulda added oil for it along with my...

Walmart never has M1 40w in jugs and now..recently.. they dont even sell it in the quarts. Anyone know whats up with this? What I really dont understand is they stock M1 15w50 in the jugs and on the back of the jug it says something of the sort for circle track racing . So why stock up on...

I remember reading somewhere on here that Amsoil gets some of its base stock from Exxon Mobil. For the life of me I can't find that thread. Then again I could be totally wrong and just thought i read that. So do they use Exxon Mobil for any of thier products?
