OK OK Wow! I think we all need to realize something here, forget about NOACK, HTHS, and what Group OIL VRP has and also the VI Number. Also the Ester and An thing, we have an oil that does what it claims in cleaning piston ring deposits. We have some members who have used some really good...

That is your Number 1 issue, meaning what oil was used before you bought the car! Goes back to the number 1 issue! Number 1 issue! That is quite a bit of carbon! Are you using top tier gasoline? Have you tried using a bottle of Redline Fuel System Cleaner? That is a good plan!

Let's realize if pghvolvo were using Mobil 1 ESP we would not be talking about another M1 oil burner.

My infatuation is with Mobil 1 ESP, looks like I need to look at Mobil 1 EP? What happened to the good old days back in the 1980's when you went to Trak Auto, now Advance Auto, Hi Gear, no longer in business. The 1980's, it was either: Mobil 1 Castrol Syntec Valvoline Synpower The Mobil 1 I...

BINGO! Good Thinking! These things happen! Very Good! Your major problem is the air dam that is missing, here is what is happening, with the air dam it draws air into the radiator, and then the air goes out of the radiator and does the cooling thing and exits under the car somewhere. It...

Good Luck, this is a tough job when you have a lift!

This is a Start! The next step! It does now! Sounds like an Airflow Issue! I really think you have an airflow issue, really look at the front of the AC Condensor, after that look between the AC Condensor and the radiator and see what you see. You can also do the garden hose thing in spraying...

Do you have a Lift where you are at?

That is a good Warranty! They get you either way! I guess you have to do the Math, but I am thinking, and you can correct me, which is fine. You might be money ahead in your wonderful state by going Electric!

Yes! No!

That does not change the issue! You could use a cheap oil and change it every 1000 miles and still have Piston Ring Deposits!

How long is the battery warrantied for and if you need a replacement battery then how much does it cost? Does the replacement cost of the battery offset the cost if you were driving a gas powered car?

Only 5W-30 and 10W-30!

Have we come to the point that maybe Valvoline Restore and Protect as well as the HPL Oils can only prevent these deposits?

I think you are correct, and that is why we need thicker grades of Valvoline Restore and Protect, 10W-40 is sold in Australia, sell it here. There is now a 5W-40 grade, sell it here. We need to realize that this oil from Valvoline may have some limitations, will the 5W-40 and 10W-40 versions of...

Not with the rackety noise! Time for Valvoline to let us buy their thicker grades of Valvoline Restore and Protect!

You mean Good afternoon! Dealer Time! OK! No Clue! Is this car parked outside?

Royal Purple stopped making Oil Filters after 2012 or so, use what you have, the issue here is that this oil filter was really good with the way it was made up, they did not sell enough oil filters since people wanted cheaper oil filters. This oil filter was made like a tank. I still have 1 of...

Pablo for the Marketing Team, and OVERKILL for the engineering team!

That is what happens with the best Oil available to us! There are other causes for sticking rings that have nothing to do with Group 3 oils and the sludge thing I know nothing about.
