    Torsen gear oil

    holding company buys red line oil corp

    Sorry, but I have not been back to this thread for a very long time. Between the time that Dominus sold Spectrum/Red Line to ConocoPhillips in the summer of '14 and late 2017, Red Line had been doing some testing and product development. Most of that was done at Red Line's facility in Benicia...

    holding company buys red line oil corp

    Red Line having poor availability on some parts of the country has been a chronic problem. Hopefully Red Line's new President, Cameron Evans, will address that problem.

    High iron content after new heads LS7

    Admittedly, we're getting off-topic here a bit and I apoligize to others here. C0561 is not a fault in the EBTCM but is a code which sets when other modules (ECM, BCM, IPC or TCM) have a problem communicating with the EBTCM. Diagnosing this may be difficult if there are no codes set in other...

    Need Recommendations for 12' F150 with ecoboost

    Trust what people here are saying about short trips. You can't use a 10,000-mi drain interval if the majority of the duty is short trips.

    High iron content after new heads LS7

    I'm surprised the dealer "lapped" the valves because may damage the coating on the Titanium intake valves. The service manual specifically states, in two places, that intake valves are not to be resurfaced. When the CrN coating is damaged, valve durability is compromised. You may want to point...

    High iron content after new heads LS7

    As a fellow Z06 owner and a tech. writer who covers Corvette, I'm familiar with the LS7 engine and the premature valve guide wear problem. Looking at your report from Blackstone, they tell you that the high iron number is most likely because of the cylinder head change and the expected short...

    Oil recommendation for new LS3

    For an LS3, if cost is an issue, I'd go with M1 5W30. If cost is not an issue I'd use either Red Line 5W30 or Gibbs Driven LS30 (a 5W30). You can run either to extended drain intervals to recover some of the cost. I have an LS6 and an LS7 engine in Corvettes and they all use Red Line. H...
