    Help w/Diff Oil Choice

    Greetings All, I just bought a used 2016 Jeep Wrangler (Dana 44 Rear Diff with Trac-Lok) with 42K Miles on it. Since I am not certain of the maintenance history I have decided to change some of the fluids. For the differentials the owner's manual specs Mopar Gear & Axle 80w-90 GL-5 (I will not...

    Specs Confusion

    Greetings, I am shopping for a good grease for the universal joints on my Lada Niva. Most of what I read indicates that a Lithium based, EP grease is needed. However, when reviewing the specs on some available grease, it is not clear to me which type is better "extreme pressure" grease...

    M1 5w-20 Product Data Sheet

    Has anyone found a product data sheet for M1 5w-20? I have browsed Mobil's site and every other oil weight has a product data sheet .pdf link, except the 5w-20. I wanted to see if I could use some 5w-20 to do some creative mixing with the M1 0w-40 I got on sale.

    "Molasoke" Fluid Alternatives?

    Greetings, I wish to do some cleaning on my 2000 Dodge Neon (89,000 miles on vechicle). I am about 1,300 miles into my Auto-Rx rinse cycle and thought that the soak would be a nice way to finish things up. The problem is that I can't get LC here in Germany, and I feel very certain that is can...

    Using Quaker State 5w-50?

    Greetings All, I am posting this question from someone I met via another board. I told him this would be the best place for his questions. Evidently he had some trouble logging on to the board, so I have quoted his post below: "weird topic here, but over on 2gen.org there was a discussion...

    Paper Replacement for K&N -2.5" Inlet

    I am looking for a paper cone or cylinder shaped paper filter to replace the K&N style filter that goes on the CAI for my Dodge Neon. I have seen posts regarding filters with 3" inlets (Prelude), but this is too big for my application. Does anyone know of a paper filter with a 2.5" inlet, that...

    AutoRX & Cleaning Phase Oil Color

    Greetings All, I am up to 1,200 miles on the cleaning stage with AutoRX, using Castrol GTX. Shouldn't the oil be pretty dark by now? It is still a relatively golden, and clean color. I was under the impression that the AutoRX would lead to dark, sediment laden oil by now. Car is a Dodge Neon...

    Happy Boxing Day

    Yes...and the best part is wall-to-wall football matches, and Everton beat Manchester City! Love seeing a hard-working, low wage team beat City and their over paid, arrogant group of has beens.

    Auto RX Confusion

    OK, I am about to use the product for the first time in my 2000 Dodge Neon (85,500 Miles on the odometer)... I read the instructions and one thing doesn't make sense to me... You MUST use dino during the "rinse" phase, but it doesn't really matter what you use during the "cleaning" phase...

    AutoRX Plunge

    Though my father was an oil salesmen for Kendall (years ago), and he warned me about aftermarket oil additives... I went ahead and placed my order for a bottle of AutoRX. Many of the members seem to have great faith in the product so I will give it a try. Should I be worried?

    What if a teacher did this to your child?

    It is pretty extreme, isn't it. I have heard people say that there are places in the world where teachers are allowed to hit students. We all know it isn't condoned in American public schools. But anything could happen, in any environment. More extreme things than that video clip can happen. I...

    German Castrol Madness

    I found BITOG while researching oils for diesel motors. However, while reading here I discovered that German Castrol might be perfect for my 2000 Dodge Neon (which eats Mobil 5w-30, and seems to just nibble the 10w-30). Since I live in Germany I had no trouble finding the 0w-30 Castrol, but my...

    Break-in Oil Change Questions

    Long ago I was told to change the oil and filter in a brand new car at about 1,500 miles so that the metal debris from the engine break-in would be removed. Does anyone know if this is really necessary? I have noticed that the manuals for the past two new cars I purchased said nothing about...

    Mobil 1 0W-40 versus Mobil 0W-40 "Turbodiesel"

    I just purchased a Toyota Yaris 1.4L turbodiesel. I will do my first oil change at 2000K (per recommendation of dealer). The recommended oil is a CF-4, or CF - weight is 10w-40. What I have found that is easily available is Mobil 1 0W-40 or Mobil 1 0W-40 "Turbodiesel." The Turbodiesel formula...
