Was searching google for MMO and came up with this post on a trumpet forum about using MMO, other automotive products, and lamp oil in trumpets for lubrication of the valves. I used to be a trumpet player and don't want to see anyone get hurt over there using these products. Is MMO harmful if...

1999 Toyota Corrola with 180K bought used. No idea of oil change history but a look under the oil cap doesn't look good. Car runs great. I have used ARX before on a high mileage Integra with fine results and decided to buy two bottles for the Corolla. Fresh oil change with supertech oil...

Car is a 1998 Acura Integra GSR in perfect mechanical condition. ARX at 100,000 miles and 3-4k changes with Havoline Dino and quality filters. About 124,0000 on the clock now. Just filled her up with Valvoline Max Life syn 5/30 for the winter and a Mobil 1 filter. I bought the filter a year or...

I was at Wal Mart tonight and noticed a new bottle for Valvoline Max Life syn. And some of the old bottle. The old bottles read "Synthetic" and the new bottles read "Full Synthetic" From my reading here it was my understanding that the old Max Life was a great oil but not a Full synthetic. Is...

Car in question is a 98 Acura Integra GSR with 107K. Car is very well cared for. Performed two Auto RX treatments on it. 90K and 100K Second one probably wasn't needed. Runs like new. Have been running Havoline Dino 10/30 with Napa Gold filters for 3K OCIs past 3 or 4 changes. I want to put in...

Never thought to try Havoline before I joined the board. It has worked very well in my 98 Integra GSR with 105,000 miles. I did my second Auto RX treatment and went with Havoline DINO for the rinse after reading so many good reviews on the site. The oil has worked great for me during the last...

Looking for some advice. I got a great deal on a used ceramic coated header for my Acura Integra. The only problem is the header was painted and a bunch of it has fallen off making it look bad. Otherwise the header is in perfect shape! From the searches I have done it sounds to me like painting...

My wife has a 1998 Cavalier that she abused for several years before I met her. Basically no regular maintanance. I have had to fix several problems. Many I think were caused by lack of general care. Oil etc. Anyway the major problem is this. When she drives the car it will warm up a bit and...

FWIW: Arx made my Cam Seal worse. Around this time I needed my timing belt done so I just had them replace the cam seal an aftermarket piece.

Is it possible to remove and replace the oil filter on a 2.2liter 98 Chevy Cavilier from the engine bay so I don't have to get under the car. I have been changing oil and filters for a long time now in my Hondas and I need to get under the car. I was going to work on my wifes cavilier for the...

I can pick up he gold filter for under $7.00 with my AAA card at my local Napa. The Mobil 1 filter is about $10 at my auto zone. How do these filters compare. I've been using the golds for the past oil changes on my Acura Integra and I bought a Mobil 1 filter just to try out. Any thoughts...

Just got a digital camera so I thought I would post some pics. 98 GSR and just hit 100,000 miles. Besides timing belt and water pump all I have had to replace is the clutch master cylinder. When I joined the site I tried some Auto RX around 80K. Just finished my second application to be safe...

I have gone 1500 miles on my Integra and now I am ready for the rinse phase. When I started with the ARX I put in Fresh Mobil 5000 10/30 and a new Napa Gold Filter. Now for the rinse phase I am going to use a new Gold filter and I need to choose a 10/30 weight oil. I'm looking at these oils...

How about Walmart 10/30 oil in an abused Cavalier. This car is beyond auto-rx and high milage oils. I met my wife too late. She had owned this car since 98 and abused it. I've had to replace the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket etc etc. I just want to keep putting fresh oil in there every 3K...

How about GC in well cared for 98 Acura Integra with the VTEC motor. I run 5/30 in the winter and 10/30 during the summer months. I notice GC comes in 0/30? I feel like having joined this site I am learning more about oil. But I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Will that work in my...

Got a question. I am an oil nut. I love these forums and have learned alot. I treat my car with love and respect. My brother in law does not. Truck in question is a 2002 Chevy S-10. I'm not sure on the exact model but it has the off road package I believe. Big tires and wheels. It is an...

From what I have gathered here it is ok to switch to synthetic at any milage. But it is possible that the cleaning properties of synthetic motor oils might cause some leaks due to fake seals being disturbed. Please correct me if I am wrong. Now do Max Life Dino and Max Life synthetic have the...

Which would you choose? I've read many good things about GTX and then some bad reviews on here. Not many reviews on the new Mobil EP 5000 but some high expectations. I have been running GTX 5/30 in my VTEC Integra with 95K but have been looking into other options to try something different and...
