    Redline oil moves operations to Texas & Tennessee

    Wow, end of an era for RL. Indeed a quick search of the Texas address is the Phillips 66 building and their distribution center for web orders now appears to be Hoerr Racing Products (HRP) in Illinois. Been a user for nearly 30 years and always liked buying from the little guy. Might be time...

    Strange Engine Pinking / Knocking - 1950s 2L Land Rover

    Have a friend with a '61 MGA 1600 who had similar issue with the engine breaking up a bit at the higher end of the RPMs, and given his driving habits it was quite frustrating. He had tried adjusting timing, valves, using fuel system cleaners, and as a habit had been using 93 octane fuel (99 RON...

    No Penzoil Ultra Platium at Wally

    PUP 5W-30 has been in the Civic since we purchased new in late 2008 when it was known as Pennzoil Ultra, have not seen it on shelves in years. I get it online at Wally or Amazon a few jugs at a time to keep in the stash and align it with sales or SOPUS rebates .

    Chinese 196cc diesel engine from Amazon?

    Saw a 1960s Toro snowblower f/s on CL near me which the seller refitted with one of these Chinese compression engines, here is the video included in the ad: Like you I was interested in applications for it but determined it is not for me, I don't own any diesel equipment and it didn't make...

    Advice needed on Denso remanufactured Alternators.

    Hondapartsnow.com is where I get just about everything needed for my Accord and Civic, I replaced the alternator on my Civic 2 years ago with a new Denso from them and it has been perfect. They do list the alternator for a 2006 Odyssey as in stock and it states condition as new rather than...

    2014 Honda Pilot 81k miles...wish me luck

    Just helped a friend on what I believe is the same process for his 2005 Odyssey's timing and water pump replacement a few weeks ago. He also purchased the AISIN kit and the Lisle crank pulley socket. Some points I recall which might help you: We used South Main Auto's Honda timing belt / water...

    Replace Megs Hybrid ceramic wax?

    Just used Meguiar's Hybrid Paint Coating (G210300) as I am in the same situation as you are where time to spend waxing is not as frequent as it once was. I felt the price on this was a bit high but Meguiar's has been a name I trust for many years and I was not disappointed. It is wipe on, wipe...

    Power Steering Fluid Change

    TSB from Chrysler calls out the need for fluid in WJ models which complies with MS5931 standard. This model should have a hydraulic cooling fan which runs off the power steering pump. http://srt-6.com/pdf/tsb/SB_19_005_03_PowerSteeringFluid.pdf I believe Mopar MS5931 fluid has been...

    Red Line 0W30 11k Miles (3rd Run) 2004 Volvo S60

    This is the 3rd and what will likely be the final run UOA testing Red Line on my 2004 S60 in which I switched up somewhat running 0W30 for the winter months as opposed to their 5W30 grade as in the previous 2 runs. As I have mentioned in my last post, this car is long paid off and I prefer to...

    '09 Civic Si - Pennzoil Ultra 5W30 (SM) - 6k Miles

    This is a UOA of my GF's '09 Civic Si coupe which she has owned since new. This is the first UOA for the car and I wanted to see how the engine was wearing 30k+ miles in. Some notable items: * OLM was at 0% and minus 478 miles. * OIl Filter was a Mann (ML 1008) which seemed like a rebranded...

    Meguiars vs Mothers products

    Both are very good and in my opinion each have their standout products that might edge out the other. With Mothers I prefer their metal polishes, wheel cleaners, and spray wax. With Meguiar's I use their paint polishes and waxes. Both of them offer a great vinyl/rubber protectant, Meguiar's...
