I've run it in three cars so far, 1 has used it for 2 OCIs @5,000 miles and I cannot complain. There hasn't been any change in oil consumption, or anything suggesting the quality is any less than the other oil I've used.

IIRC, all values in their report are in thousands. If I am not mistaken, that means they have $68 million in debt?!

"Due to our limited amount of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations and our ability to pay outstanding liabilities, in their report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, our independent auditors stated that there is substantial doubt about our...

I am speculating, but many have been chatting on the board about the companies' financial condition. In the language in this financial report it sounds like they aren't too hopeful about the future of the company. I was considering buying shares of the company soon, but due to this report I...

I'll put a vote in for Silverstar Ultras, any brighter and you'll blind other motorists.

Another theory of mine is economies of scale. If the US as a whole is seeing the light, if you will, in regards to extended drain intervals, they aren't moving the same quantity of oil as a whole. They in turn are shifting greater production, refining, research costs on each unit of oil.

I'm buying G-Oil which is only $26 for 5 quarts of synthetic :p. Seriously though, even though I do not have Dino oil (conventional or synthetic) in any of my crankcases, it's a sliver of the amount of oil I use through gasoline and other areas. On the plus side I went from driving more than...

So I guess I will ask a sciency question. Does anyone know if all the companies run different additive packages in the winter? The other theory I would assume driving up costs is the SN certification. Are companies using additives that are more scarce?

This is less than 6 months ago, btw. I forgot to include that in my post lol.

I remember paying less than $24 for a 5 qt bottle at wal-mart of Valvoline Synpower/Mobil 1 type oils. Now they are just under $30 dollars. At Oreilley's a 5.1 qt of Synpower is $39.99 now. I had to do a double take and ask the counter dude if that was the price for the oil and filter and he...

Last weekend: Previous OCI G-Oil 5w-30 w/ Puro Pure-one Changed with: Ford Crown Vic 135,000 G-Oil 5w30 w/ Puro- Pure one filter Running for winter 6months or 5,000 whichever comes first. Car specs for 5w-20.

Both of the UOA's are not that horrible. The real concern that everyone was having was more along the lines of the oil destroying their engine, not if it will produce a average at best UOA. The company is just taking off, and they just got approved for a revised 5w-30 and a brand new 5w-20...

This thread is worthless without pics...

Actually got to use the new Ford power bleeder twice in the same day. Got to use it on some Ford Escort when replacing the brake booster and had to take the master cylinder out and everything. Def, paid for itself.

I have 4 Ford cars at home, so the cap will pay for itself rather quickly as opposed to dealer's cost. I think my euro bleeder will work with the 5th car a Saturn, but I have yet to try it out.

Volkswagen section fixed!

Quick and to the point, the reason to change your brake fluid is to save your [censored]! Brake fluid is a hydroscopic which means it attracts water, big deal right? Wrong, through the brake lines and through your resevoir brake fluid attracts water, water has a really low boiling point, the...
