There is this guy I watch on occasion on youtube named briansmobile1. He's a mechanic that does a variety of work and occasionally reviews products. He recently posted the video below on this additive. I am still not buying the claims. I searched the site with Google and the board search engine...

A buddy of mine just picked up a 1990 Nissan 300ZX TT with 54k on the clock. It's in very good shape and will end up being a garage queen coming out on nice days in the summer. I was looking in to what oil it should take and my answer is an HDEO like Rotella T6. I had an 87 300ZX Turbo with the...

I have a few of the WIX UOA kits I bought off of Amazon on a deal some time ago and figured it was time for our Armada's yearly UOA on its last OCI. I sent it on the 1st as well as another package for work both first class with tracking. I knew my work item had been delivered so I decided to see...

I usually take my used oil to my local Auto Zone since it is the closest auto parts store. I like to buy something while I am there, but their bloated pricing and poor selection usually mean I am buying foamy engine cleaner or something. I was poking around their website and see an STP - XL...

I posted this a few days ago on an Armada forum with no responses. I should have just posted it here... We have a 2013 Nissan Armada that I purchased last year at the end of May. At about 4k miles in the fall sometime, I drained and refilled the front and rear diff with Amsoil Severe Gear...

Today I am looking to purchase a new 2013 Coyote Mustang. It's a 2013 and I am sure has been on the lot for a while now since it has a build date of 10/12. I know Ford recommends it get changed either by the OLM or at 1 year and 10k miles. I know Honda says not to change their factory fill...

We have a 13 Armada with a 5.6 Liter V8 that has a 7 Quart sump. My wife works half a city block away from our house. It gets really warmed up once a week maybe when we do errands on the weekends. I work from home and don't go out much. We are in serious severe duty territory. Nissan says 3...

Just like many of you, I have a reasonably large stash of oil that is either heavily discounted or FAR. I am using the oldest from my stock so this round it is G-Oil 5W-30 in my Titan with an OEM Nissan 15208-9E01A. The previous fill was QSUD 5W-30 with a Fram XG7317. The G-Oil has been in my...

I bought two Purolator PSL14610's. The only store that had them was 15 miles away or so, but I wanted to try them out so I made the drive and picked them up. I did not inspect them at the store (my mistake). The first one I opened had blue overspray on the base plate like the old days with the...

05 Odyssey - about 2500 miles - 4 months in use ...just wanted to change it out, cut it open. I replaced it with a SuperTech (Champion non E Core) I had in the stash. Anywayz, I thought you guys might want to see. Tight Pleats - That junk on the middle top and a little to the right was from...

Looks like a fram. Fiber end caps...Yuck. The truck is new, but its build date was 2/11 so I figured I would change it with PYB and another Nissan filter. I bought two. So there is another one of these on my Truck. They want to see it @ 3750 miles so when it returns to them, it will have the...

So when checking my Oil, it smelled more like a gas can than used oil. Being paranoid about all I have been reading about DI motors and shearing, I decided to do a change and send a sample in to Blackstone. It was after it had been warmed up on a 15 mile or so run and the sample was taken half...

I have a filtermag and was thinking about getting another one when I started to also think about the design of an oil filter inside the can. As I understand it (and I could be wrong as a newbie) when an oil filter hits bypass at x psi, it slides the media down (or up) to allow it to bypass the...

So after doing a bunch of reading about some of the Honda 3.5 liter V-6's sludging up or varnishing on Soccer Mom's driving, I looked at ours and it was varnished up pretty good. I then started doing 3k OCI using Castrol Edge and changed the PCV valve and I am certain I have stopped anything...
