Man, sorry its taken me so long to get back to this post, Ive been super busy at work. I have 'concerns' pushing to the 10k mark not knowing if the coolant leak is really fixed. I may, but I dont know yet. In fact, I doubt I will get to the 10k mark. Ive dropped about $1200 into performance...

I figured it may take a couple oil changes to get it all out. Despite silicon levels where they are now, it is significantly lower than what it was. I have a Wizaired intake on its way and I'll be able to enclose the filter more and hopefully bring it down a bit more. I really want to get oxid...

No, Iam not using the Amsoil coolant, yet. The plan was that when I tear into the engine to replace the LIM gasket, I would do that at that time. I wanted to make sure I got all the coolant out that I could so it would be as complete of a flush as I could make it. As well, when you pull the LIM...

I had planned on going with the Amsoil coolant when I switched out the radiator but didnt have any available at the time, so when I do the repairs I am most definately going to switch over at that time. When I change the oil I'll also definately run a bottle of the Engine Flush as well. As far...

I have some GM coolant tabs that I was going to use on the last radiator. I could throw those in there, the problem with that is that I have a coolant filter on and I would be concerned that before it was able to seal anything that it would all be filtered. I have seriously considered doing as...

I thought I would add that I run my oil analysis when the OLM reaches 0% if that is important to anyone.

I agree. Kinda gets me kinda antsy to run an analysis on my car early since I switched over to the EaO full flow and bypass filter. Well if you dont think the boron is an issue then I wont freak out if I should see it again. I dont think he changed the oil, I'll have to check on that.

This is co-worker of mine who is running Amsoil with an EaO57 Oil filter. He drives about 16 miles one way to work and back and doesnt do much more driving and what he does do is almost entirely city driving. The oil was installed in the first week of November last year. Engine: 2.4L I4 Sump...

Laminar Lou, can you send me a link to that paper on the SAE's website. I would like to purchase a copy of it as well. I couldnt find it by searching. Thanks.

I got my filter from http://carbitz.org/. The guy was really nice and answered all the questions I had. Shipment was quick and it took all of about 30 minutes to install. I dint see a spare parts listing on the site, but the kits now come with the hose clamps, two gaskets and two different...

I just installed one of these today and I must say that Im glad I did. Just after a few miles of driving it had collected quite a bit of sediment that I have been trying to flush out of my radiator. I just wish I had installed it long ago but I dont think I'll have a vehicle again without one.

Yeah, I believe it was over an extended time because both of my oil analysis showed elevated levels of silicon and sodium and the tests covered about 15k miles.

Hmmm, I wasnt aware of the one on the pump, only the one on the thermostat housing. Well I hope to try and get this done this coming weekend. I wish I could get to it sooner but the time just isnt there. If I knew how to get the radiator out (never pulled one out before) I would probably just...

m2200b, you will get no arguement out of me that there are numerous people out there that have great success with Dex-Cool. The problem, for me at least, lies with the sensativity of Dex-Cool to air intrusion. That in and of itself is not bad, but when it goes undetected such as in my case for a...

Yes, I had flushed the system last year with 50/50 Prestone, but I dont think I did a good enough job at getting all the old Dex-Cool out, in fact if you were to press me on it I would say I know I didnt. At the time, the reason for flushing was simply because I had the infamous coolant elbow...

Oh, one other thing, your directions seem to not be using the bleed process when running the motor, rather you are opening the bleeder valve as you fill it with coolant and let that push out the air, is this correct? If so, that is great because this is the part of the flush process I hated...

Buford T. Justice I appreciate the link to the directions. It seems long and tedious, but I definately want to get this crud out. When I first bought the car I flushed the system then, though not with the attention you described and the radiator was pristine inside, coolant flowed out of the...

Alrighty guys and gals, I am in need of some help. I have a 2001 Pont. Grand Prix GTP. I have posted a couple oil analysis for it on here but dont have the links right now. At any rate, I have a cooling issue. As of late, particularly with it warming up I have noticed that the coolant temps...
