2000 Nissan Altima 166K miles Penn HM 10w30 for 6740 miles /Supertech filter I got this car for free with a blown headgasket and warped head from my father in law at 151K miles. He was about to trade it in on a new car when it blew the gasket. Anyways I did 3 oil changes after the job to remove...

1996 Chevy Camaro Z28 1LE LT1 V8 6-speed 325K miles on car with tons of hard autocross use 5K mile interval on Mobil 1 5W30 http://www.xecu.net/kiirenza/camaro/oilreport.pdf This isn't my car it's Karen Kraus's car. She's a very talented autocrosser and finished 8th last year on F-Stock at...

Here's my oil analysis results. I used the German Castrol 0w30 with a shorty supertech filter. I still have this oil in the car. There are only 800 miles on the sample but over 100 autocross runs (some of which are evolution schools with hot-lapping). I'm trying to establish and interval based...

Does anyone know if this will fit a Chevy 5.3L V8 (or LS1)? I'm thinking of running two big filters on the truck. I think a supertech (for flow) and a pureone (sort of as a cheap bypass) together in parallel. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1786&prmenbr=361

The copper is great but the iron and lead are bad. The truck did see a lot of cold weather/short trip driving though. I had a supertech oil filter on it. aluminum 8 chromium 1 iron 59 copper 15 lead 24 tin 4 moly 67 nickel 1 manganese0 silver 0 titanium 0 potassium0 boron 92 silicon 19 sodium 8...

Ok I'm still unable to locate german castrol anywhere. I've been to three autozones and they still have the old stuff since 0w30 sells so poorly. Even the stockrooms have the old castrol. Where else can you get it?

Many people on the F-body and GM truck boards I frequent do not recommend synthetic Dexron III because they claim it will cause the transmission to slip. Some have said they've experienced slipping after a switch to Mobil 1 ATF in 4L60-E or 700R4 which went away when they switched back. Does...

See Topic.

See subject. I suspected my '94 LT1 Camaro with 30k to have some varnish or sludge issues. But I pulled the cap off of it and our other cars. amazingly there isn't any varnish or film on the heads, valve springs, or rocker arms. I looked at our '96 Buick 3.8 with 32k and it had a thin layer of...

I just did a comparo today between the ST5 and the PF1218. Inlet and Outlet holes Delco AC Delco has a .760" diameter outlet with an area of .447 in^2. It has 5 inlet holes .300" diameter yielding a total inlet area of .353 in^2 Super Tech Super Tech is identical as far as outlet but differs in...

Is it FIL1060 or 1061? Does anybody know if this filter flows better than a Bosch?

The Mobil 1 in my '94 Camaro always turns dark pretty faster (faster than any of our other cars that run it). Could this be from sludge? The oil analysis I ran last time showed normal wear. Thanks.

I just got done running this filter in my truck and decided to cut it open and take a look. It has at least double the number of pleats that the Delco PF59 does. http://www.synthetic-oil.com/images/media.jpg

I've switched over to Mobil 1 ATF in the power steering of my '94 Camaro. So far so good nothing bad to report. Supposedly other F-body autocrossers use it in their power steering too. Another rumor floating around is that the ever popular Redline PSF is really just their ATF re-bottled.

Anyone have one? I'm thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea for my weekend car during the winter to get the oil up to temp before I go anywhere. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1823&prmenbr=361

I pulled this email off of another website...anyone care to give their impressions after reading K&N's response? "I asked: Hello. I was looking on the website about air filter comparisons and found this one website : http://www.performanceoiltechnology.com/k&nbitesthedust.htm. I looked thru...

How does it get from the air filter to the crankcase? I've got a bunch of people arguing with me over my oil analysis. It showed 15ppm of silicon and I said it was due to the K&N air filter and I'm switching-and they say that's b.s. Some people will not believe hard evidence no matter what you do.

Where would one start to see a signifcant difference or any for that matter?
