Love Discovery channel. Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs are my favorites.... Can't beat Ice Pilots NWT on History Channel though!

What is the longest sentence in the english language?? "I do" Congratulations!

The PS pump was getting noisy in our Pontiac Montana so I did a fluid extractor exchange with valvoline PSF twice with about a week of driving in between, and then added a bottle of Lubegard PSF protectant, and it has sounded and felt great ever since! Can't say enough about Lubegard products...

Thanks for the info. It has the 2.3L Turbo. The manual reccommends oil "Meeting API specification SG, SG/CD, SH or Energy Conserving (EC) II" and the visosity chart calls for 5W30 for +20C and below, 5W40 for +40C and below, 15W40 for -15C and up, and 10W30 for -20C to +40C. Very wide range...

I should have mentioned that the car will be used mostly for short trips, and it has around 200,000KM on it. Is a HDEO required because of the turbo, or can you simply run a conventional 5W30 or similar?

What would be the best oil to run in a 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo 5 Cyl? I was thinking like Rotella 5W40 synthetic or 15W40 conventional. Any suggestions?

Try a good quality cobalt drill bit, and drill all the way through to the bottom of the bolt completely to relieve pressure on the threads. The larger diameter drill bit you are able to use the better. Once done, soak it with some kroil, and use a large easy out to remove the bolt. Don't drill...

Check out this thread, tranny flush with valvoline maxlife atf and lubegard red made the tranny in my 2003 pontiac montana shift like new! http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2375691

Well thats great to hear that the transmissions went downhill AFTER 1997 I think I'll tell them to juse use the Honda DW-1 fluid, perform 3 drain/fills on the tranny, and then add a bottle of Lubegard Red ATF protectant. Thanks everyone for all the input!

Wow I'm glad they keep it simple and avoid confusion LOL. So I can use an ATF such as maxlife, or the new PSF-4. I wonder which would be a better choice? Plain old PSF is a no go then? Can't wait until I swap out the manual tranny oil LOL

Will plain old Valvoline power steering fluid work?

Did this recently on my 2003 Pontiac Montana, it loves the Valvoline Maxlife ATF and 2 bottles of Lubegard Red (Haven't had an issue since the flush) Trav was a huge help, he outlined the whole procedure....check out this thread...

Lubegard!

The manual for my 2006 Hyundai Elantra calls for "PSF-3 Type fluid". I have never heard of this before, likely dealer specific. Is there any other equivilent or better fluid available for this application?

So Z-1 is no longer available and DW-1 is the replacement? I heard back from the people at Valvoline and they said maxlife ATF would would perfectly for this application, and is 100% compatible with the exsisting fluid. I suppose as far as lubegard goes, the black bottle should be used if...

Some family members of ours are getting a used 1997 Honda Accord 4 Cyl Automatic. I have read here and elsewhere that the Honda automatic transmission are not the best. I reccommended that they service the transmission on it in short order. What is the best fluid to use for this application? I'm...

I need to do a automatic transmission fluid change on a 2005 GMC Jimmy. The manual specifies DEXIII "Approved for the H-Specification". What is the "H-Specification"?? I'm assuming this is now compatible to DEXVI correct? Would this truck be a good candidate for Valvoline Maxlife Dex/Merc ATF...

I highly reccommend the procedure... the only symptom I was aware of was a slight slip accelerating every now and again, but all the differences I've noticed now after adding the Maxlife ATF with Lubegard are just amazing. Shifts are so smooth and quick now, and downshifting on the highway is...
