I went in to pick-up some ST filters, and they only had a couple left. The entire wall was filled with 4-5 different fram filters, Ultra guard, Ultra Guard XL, and any other combination you could think of. Are they discontining ST filters? I checked in 3 different WM's, and all had the same...

Yamaha Vstar 650 2003. Changed oil twice, but each time it turns black right away. Must be oil not draining from clutch or something. Is there a trick to get more of the oil out during a change? I didn't try changing gears while draining.. maybe that would help release it?

03' Yamaha VStar 650, (new to me). Accidently had petcock on 'Res' instead of 'On' and ran fuel completely empty. Refilled with premium (unknown previous fuel). Next time went to ride, hard to start, idles very rough, dies at idle after warm, hesitates at low throttle. At high throttle, seems...

Last week during a 900 mile trip my engine first threw a P0300 code, multiple misfires on random cylinders. Periodic slight 'hesitations' felt while cruising at 75mph. After another few hundred miles, I lost all power in overdrive, then about 40 miles later, I lost ability basically excelerate...

Title says it all. 2003 Yamaha V-star 650, 3,500 miles, oil never changed. Dealer says they come with dino. I haven't confirmed, but assuming owner has rode miles evenly through out time.. (hoping!) I'm worried what kind of problems dino for 3 years could do in a motorcycle. Oxidation/acids...

Just changed my oil after only 8,500 miles, M1 10-30, with about 7 qts makeup during the run! The oil very black and had a grimmy/soot like substance in it. When draining the oil from the catch pan, after the initial oil drained out, another lighter layer of soot type grim slowly drained off...

I convinced my coworker to do a double ARX treatment on his car. Honda accord lx, 94 w/ 140K miles. Just starting his second rinse phase, 2K OCI for each stage, so in 4 oil changes w/ 10-30 penzoil, he said every time the oil came out looking very brown/rusty colored. Is this actually rust, or...

So I started searching again today, 0-2 on first two autozones, then bang, 13 qts on third store. I started thinking about increasing my odds of finding more GC. Ok, from an earlier post, I'm concentrating on poorer neighborhoods, but too poor, and they don't carry a full ineventory, exspecially...

O.K. I haven't read the code yet, but yesterday I just changed out my 01' Sebring to GC after an ARX clean and rinse. 37K on the car. Drove it for 70 miles, mostly highway, seemed fine. This morning, pulled out of the driveway, and the check engine light came on! Manual calls for 5-30 or 10-30...

While I'm hoping ARX fixes my consuption problem, I started thinking whether I wanted to switch to syn w/ 1qt/1000m consumption. However, at that rate, I'm basically getting an oil change every 5K? If I change just the filter every 6K or so, would I be ok? Or would fuel/antifreeze/small...

I'm new to this oil stuff and need advice. 99 trooper w/ 100K has been burning 1qt/1K miles on dino 10w-30 w/ 3K OCI. Learned about design flaw on rings and in flush phase of 1st auto-rx treatment. Also alread purchased lubecontrol after flushing done. What oil should I use to keep this thing...
