    Techron Dosing Opinion?

    I'd like to see it too and it is possible, but that's a big ask just for fun. There is a titration test that isn't widely available that's been posted about by @urman https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/analysis-pea-in-different-cleaners-techron-archoil-oilsyn-pro-tec.376712/

    Techron Dosing Opinion?

    I would not use more than the prescribed amount with Techron. There are other forum threads about Techron already recommending a fairly high dose at 1oz/gal.

    Top Tier Gas a scam?

    Refiner would not. Terminal...because its literally their job.

    Top Tier Gas a scam?

    No its added at the terminal to the truck. A truck going to non top tier station may have 100mL of additive added while the top tier may be 300-500mL.

    Top Tier Gas a scam?

    Yes, but those additives are certified by the EPA to meet the requirements. Changes in the base fuel would not significantly change the performance.

    Top Tier Gas a scam?

    Other than the additive package and amount added to the truck it would be the same.

    Rant - Highway trash

    I had been just N of Greenville on I85 recently and witnessed rigid foam insulation like 4'x8' come off a truck and just floating around in heavy traffic. Pretty unsafe for different reasons.

    Prestone OEM Series coolant at AZ.

    That is a ridiculous price for a gal of coolant, especially 50/50.

    Anyone watched Netflix's "Unknown Number"?

    No, I saw commercial for it, have no interest in actually watching it, just read a spoiler.

    Then just top off with distilled water every few months.

    VP STAY FROSTY Coolant

    Those temperatures are totally acceptable...most cars run that hot by design. I don't think you need freeze protection in your climate, so run a 70/30 mix (Water/coolant). Water is a better heat transfer fluid than glycol, but you need the coolant for freezing and anti-corrosion. If you're...

    Consensus between Mobil 1, Purolator, and CarQuest Premium Oil Filters?

    This is not a good assumption. If a filter has more surface area it may be compensating for more restrictive media. The net effect could be better, worse, or the same...anyone's guess. You need actual data to know.

    51r battery inconsistency.

    The "R" if 51R implies the positive battery post is on the right. So there's no way that is different.

    51r battery inconsistency.

    The Platinum has a lower CCA which may bump it below the minimum spec for the CRV? Or maybe they know how bad Honda's battery management is and don't want to be warrantying AGMs for them.

    Spark Plug Replacement Intervals - Why?

    How would you know you see no drop in mileage versus ideal case? There's so many variables here, the only way to know would be a very well controlled study which is not practical. As a mechanical engineer you should understand that you replace things before failure to avoid catastrophic or...

    Rear-Wheel Steering's Impact on Tire Wear

    I think like anything it depends on the system and what is was optimized for. In general I would think tire wear is more even between front and rear, because A) you have rear tires turning, but also B) turning should be more effective with less wear on the front.

    Light Bulb Driving me nuts GE 5W 760 lumen

    This lightbulb came out of a hanging basic chandelier and seems to not exist anymore...would like to match the other lights as best as possible. GE 760 lumens/5W/2700k. Most lights at 750-760 lumen seem to be 8-9+W and claim 60W equivalent. Don't really care about that, but I had another 60W...
