Did you hear about the new bin laden drink? Two shots and splash of water.

A false accuser should be punished with the sentence that the actual crime carries. Make a bomb threat, go to jail for as long as an actual bomber. Make a false rape claim, go to jail as long as a rapist.

two sets of mounted tires/rims - road force balanced by tirerack. Both sets have been superb - far better than the factory balance. Came faster than quoted. Can't recommend them highly enough for that setup. On a tire-only purchase - I'd have to give it some thought - the hassle factor could be...

Now that is funny! Here's the part I don't understand though - there are 73,000 E. Coli cases in the US a year - roughly 200 a day. Why is this even a story? Food nazis targetting another fast food to shut down???

sure do - just changed mine at 60K on an '04 Ody. The noise was distinct enough, but not super loud (with windows up and radio on, one might miss it for a little while, but not long enough to matter.)

not to be pedantic or anything, but it would be current miles / (1 - .21)

we do???

where do you get these statistics of higher fatality with ABS? They appear made up out of whole cloth. Here is what I believe to be much more reliable info: http://www.iihs.org/research/qanda/antilock.html There is essentially no difference (not worse) with ABS.

caterham - makes sense. Looks like the MOB has boilerplate numbers in for the Mobil 1 CCS specs. Thanks for the info.

From the motor oil bible: ccs: 6200 @ -35C

Given the text comments in the original report of no fuel, and knowing how blackstone sends back the report, I can virtually guarantee there was just a typo and it was really "fuel < 0.5". But, that is just my guess...

amazing how R12 starts to be a problem right around the time that DuPont's patent is up on it. Truly amazing...

Ca higher too - perhaps contributing to a higher TBN at start. The higher zinc is probably what is keeping it from GF-4 specs. Edit: Sorry MolaKule - I see you already covered the Ca in prior post.

It was just the two changes so far - ~6500 mi (4.5 months) on factory fill, ~8100 (4.5 months) with the Castrol syntec. Book is 3750mi for severe, and 7500 for normal. Mostly longer trips, but not on interstates (30+ mi at a time) - with a few short hops thrown in. To give you some idea, my avg...

Why thank you very much! Yes, I've been lurking since past spring. And yes, you nailed it - that oil filler cap got my interest picqued (sp?). That and getting handed a thimble when I asked for a filter at the honda parts desk. My only slight hesitation on M1 is probably unfounded - my prior...

M1 0w-20 went in after the syntec came out. We'll see what it looks like...

It was the first change after the factory fill change. Based on the notes from blackstone, it looks like it is perfectly proportional to the universal average amounts (apparently the average reported interval for my engine is 5500 mi. My numbers were almost all exactly 1.5 X the average, which...

14689 mi on vehicle. Honda filter (the small one). Blackstone report: ALUMINUM 7 CHROMIUM 1 IRON 25 COPPER 67 LEAD 3 TIN 1 MOLYBDENUM 61 NICKEL 0 MANGANESE 1 SILVER 0 TITANIUM 0 POTASSIUM 0 BORON 0 SILICON 17 SODIUM 4 CALCIUM 2460 MAGNESIUM 12 PHOSPHORUS 664 ZINC 803 BARIUM 0 TBN 1.7 SUS...
