Went to the Autozone in Tooele, UT this morning and found 4 qts M05 GC and 9 qts M03 GC. 13 qts now in a box in my trunk for the drive back to Colorado.

Started on a trip from Vail to Salt Lake City today. Running ELF 0W-30 with about 5000 miles of service so far [ 2000 miles before I change it. I added 1 oz. LC-20/ 1.5 oz. FP 3000/ and 1 oz. of VSOT before leaving. 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5i with 31K on it ran the best ever...super smooth and...

Boy I was missing the FP-3000! Nothing seems to make my vehicles run as well as FP-3000. I also received the measuring bottles and what an improvement over using a funnel and guessing on dose. I may have to get some more bottles! I probably have enough LC-20 to last for a while but I may have...

I've nearly used up the first gallon of FP-3000, and I've reached an conclusion: FP-3000 makes my gas and diesel vehicles run smoother and does increase MPG slightly. I can't comment about injector/ valve/ combustion chamber cleanliness or upper cylinder lubrication....but these are benefits...

I am. Poor service and slow or zero email response. LCD needs to step up.

I was speaking with the Mercedes Service Advisor about the 2007 ML-63 AMG when it was in for service. He mentioned that some Mercedes had oil consumption problems since the cylinders have a hard coating [ a special low-friction cylinder wall coating called twin-wire-arc-sprayed (TWAS)] Now I...

Just switched out 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5i from GC 0W-30 to ELF Excellium Full Tech 0W-30. Even though both oils are ACEA A-3 and are the same viscosity when I look at cSt... the engine seems to rev more freely and MPG is higher with the ELF. This is only the first impression....but I wasn't...

For anyone who says a switch from PAO to Group III is fine, here's some Shell info that all Group III base stocks are not the same. "It is true that ROTELLA T Synthetic is Group III (not PAO) based, but you must keep in mind that not all Group III base oils are created equal. ROTELLA T...

I started using my gallon of FP3000 in a few vehicles, and it seems to make the engines run better. What do other FP3000 users think?

In the oil forum we got on to the subject of glabal warming and a tidbit about Exxon Mobil bribing researchers in order to influence their statements about global warming. If people would like to continue this discussion here is a new thread. Perhaps we can find a way to keep the discussion at...

2005 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab with Duramax turbo diesel and Dex Cool coolant. At 25K miles now, and thinking about a drain and fill with Dex Cool and distilled water. I'm not a fan of Dex Cool having seen problems first hand in some vehicles..and I've read both sides of the arguments for and...

Has anyone recently compiled a reference chart which shows which XW-X oils are thick or thin? For instance I know that GC 0W-30 is thick... nearly a 40WT. I know that Redline 5W-20 has a very high HTHS spec compared to other 5W-20 oils. Before I lost confidence in Mobil 1's integrity, it was...

Between GTL base stocks coming to market in the near future, - major oil companies switching to Group III in their 'synthetics', - and 'conventional' oils using Group II and Group III, - and more and more forum members advocating conventional oils as often being as good as synthetic .... I...

40 K on a 2001 Camaro . Owner had run Valvoline 5W-30 synthetic, and mechanic switched to GC. Complaints are lower oil pressure at idle and speed, lifter noise, and oil is very dirty at 2K. My first thought was the GC is cleaning better, and there is some dirt moving off parts. Owner also...
