Sorry if this isn't allowed; I had a thread in the VOA (not the motorcycle page) for the Castrol Power 1 10W40. I just received back the UOA of the oil after 1,300 miles. I had a busy season this year and it didn't allow me to get out as much. I've attached the UOA, and am going to include a...

Castrol Power 1 4T motorcycle oil in 10W/40 Amazon had a great sale on the Castrol Power 1 4T a couple months ago and I got a case. They appear to have removed the Power Racing RS oil from the U.S. Market and was curious how this oil compared, or if it was the same and just given a different...

So I'm in the process of looking at cars for the BIL, we found a 2011 Cruze Eco, while looking around the car I noticed the coolant was low (common problem GM said is due to air being trapped in the system from the factory and burping out later). So I brought it to their attention so we hop in...

Well not be but my mother, she moved and needed a powered mower and snowblower because it's MI. She has a bad back and couldn't afford a rider so she thought this was the best alternative for a cheap amount. And she wanted new and a warranty. So here we are, I'm going to give it its initial...

Car: 2008 Saturn Astra Engine: 1.8l ecotec (timing belt ugh) Coolant: Peak Global Lifetime. Location: Northern MI. Well my thermostat went out late last winter, it was stuck partially open and wouldn't allow the coolant to fully heat up during my drives, this gave me a CEL but I neglected to...

Car: Saturn Astra XR5. So I replaced the inner and outer tie rod ends as well as ball joints last night. This afternoon I went and got a front end alignment. The results were that they aligned it and all was well except the rear right toe was out of spec and they cannot fix that since it has a...

So about a month ago my Fiance was driving her 2008 Saturn Astra with the A/C on full blast while sitting at a light. From what she told me is that the car made a shuddering feeling while getting on the gas, at the same time there was a pop then a "cloud of smoke" behind her. She called me and I...

Nothing new but I found leftovers of ESP with dates from 2014, 0W30 weight alongside AFE. The ESP was more expensive at Autozone.

I changed the old fluid for the first time (my guess as its used) over 68K miles. The fluid that came out was a dark burgandy red color so I was happy so far.I drained and took the sample there before I proceeded to remove a return line and have the fluid pump into a bucket while filling the...

So, this is our first UOA on our '10 DJ and we were quite shocked. I didn't want to do a motor flush but my father insisted so we did one 5 min before changing the oil. Metal particulates were high and they suspect that to be the cause. I'll attach the form so you all can see the report. DJ has...

While looking at your responses to my previous topic I have decided to go along and get a magnefine filter since mine is a non serviceable one. While looking that up I found universal transmission (as well as oil) coolers online. Would these be overkill since cars already have them? I would...

Hello all, I have a '08 Saturn Astra, from what I have seen it does not look like an oil pan is removable. It does have the transmission drain bolt and such but no removable pan. From my understanding auto-rx will liquify the junk and it could settle in the pan, I wanted to remove it if...

Hey everyone, 1st post here (hello!) but long time lurker. So I have an ’08 Astra with 63750 miles I got used. So far I changed the oil (500 miles after purchase where they changed the oil). I changed it to PU with NAPA gold oil, and air filter. Today I changed the spark plugs as well. So while...
