Fram TG oil filter claims 99% dirt trapping efficiency whereas the higher grade XG claims 97% dirt trapping efficiency. What does this mean in real world filtration. Is the XG a better overall filter? Of would I be better to stick with a TG for 5k oil changes? Mike

What are the pros and cons of stoddard solvents in a fuel additive? What would an additive with stoddard solvents do to E-10 fuel stored over time?

I almost always purchase my diesel fuel at Safeway out of convenience. Safeway (the ones I frequent) sell B5 fuel so I'm using B5 and adding FP60 to it. Looking back at the Spicer Lubricity test I realized that the fuel with the most lubricity was a mixture of ULSD and 2% biodiesel which...

I was hoping for some input regarding the lubricity of FP60 as compared to the other diesel fuel additives presented in Arlen Spicer's test. The only information I can come up with is on the http://lubecontrol.com/fuel.htm website listed under lab reports and Southwest Research Institute It...

Regarding Schaeffer Diesel Treat 2000 when is it time to switch from summer to winter blend. It's in the 40Fs now and getting colder so I'm thinking it's OK to start using the cold weather (anti-gel) formula. Any thoughts?

I went to LCDinc website to order some more FP+ Diesel and don't see it available to purchase (I also sent them a note asking same question) was wondering if anyone here knows what's up. Also if it's not available then is Schaeffer's Diesel Treat 2000 as good or better?

http://www.cenex.com/Downloads/HD_MolyXtremeGrease_final.pdf http://www.cenex.com/Downloads/MaxtronEP.pdf I don't know grease specs. so I was wondering what some grease experts think. I currently use the Maxtron and it works fine. Which grease is tougher?

My HHR calls ATF in the manual transmission. Some guys albeit misinformed IMHO are also using ATF in snowmobile chaincases. What are the big differences in lube construction, and function between ATF and regular gear oil. I guess I don't see ATF as gear oil but rather I see it as more like a...

Anyone seen this? Used it? Any info? Is it brand new? snoboy http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.co...ory=Motor%20Oil

OK I currently have a Wix in my 6.0 Powerstroke but I have used the Amsoil EAO-88 filter for the truck twice now. I will say this... without a doubt the Amsoil filter takes at least 2-3 full seconds longer than the WIX to show oil pressure on the gauge. I also noticed that the Amsoil filter is...

I'm looking at this grease to use for my tractor, ie. the loader bucket and backhoe. It sounds like it's designed for this type of application. I have mostly used Amsoil HD w/ moly (lithium complex) and Schaeffers 238 w/moly (aluminum complex) and currently have a bunch of Cenex Maxtron EP...

Well not the product itself. The web site is brand new. I went there to check on a question I had posted on the LCDinc. forum and poof, no more forum. The information about the products is much better explained on the new web site, infact my question was anwered in the product description which...

Does any one know where the FP products might rank in the Spicer Lubricity test? I ask because I use the FP products. I just completed my own study on my little HHR gasser. FP60 gives me a guaranteed 2 mpg increase than without using it. snoboy

I just purchased a new 2006 Chevy HHR w/ 2.2 liter engine (sweet little ride) . The book calls for 5w30 oil but I have a whole case of Amsoil ATM 10w30 I need to use up. Can I run 10w30 in this engine or should I stick to 5w30. My only other gasser is my wifes Blazer which also calls for 5w30...

I ordered up some Amsoil products today and noticed that just below the EAO88 oil filter is an EAO88B filter but could not locate specific information on this filter. Any one know anything about this B designator? Thanks snoboy

What does it stand for and what is its role?

How often do you change air filters? Do you wait till mileage begins to deminish. Do you change at a certain number of miles? Do you change annually? How much dirt is visually in the filter when you change? snoboy
