Hi Ya Folks, It's been a long year of running an ARX treatment on my 94 Honda accord. After two treatments and following the instructions to the letter, I'm now into my third oil change after the last rinse phase, and I still have a small oil leak that developed during the ARX treatment. So what...

Hi folks, I finally got my first ever oil analysis, and I was hoping for more feedback. Can you ( expert GC elves ) take a look over at the UOA UOA Yeah I know it's only a Ford Focus , but I would like to know if everything is good, or so so or whoopsie! Many thanks j

Hi Ya Everyone, Well I finally finished the long and satisfying process of an AutoRX treatment, and now have my first ever oil analysis. So let me first start by saying thanks to all you guys, who make this site what it is. I've learned so much from this site from tires to mechanics, I've...

Hi Folks, Just got my summer tires put back on my Ford Focus Wagon, and the prices went up for storage and installation. I have the summer and winter tires on separate rims, and it costed me $60 CDN for the change over ($7.00 for installation, and $7.00 for storage / tire then the taxes of...

Hi Ya Folks, As the title says I'm about halfway into the rinse phase of the 2nd Auto-RX treatment on my 94 Honda 4cyl Accord with 150k miles. I didn't have any oil leaks when I started the Auto-RX treatment, but I development one during the treatments. At this stage it is nowhere near as bad...

Nice earlier topic with people posting 7->12,000 mile oil changes with GC. And my question is; do you keep the same oil filter on for the interval? How long should oil filters run for before changing? And how do you just change the oil filter? Do you drain the oil into a clean can, then remove...

I have a 2002 Ford Focus 4cyln (81000kms)wagon, that I just put GC in about a month ago after an autorx treatment. ( barely 1000kms on it ) Didn't notice anything good or bad with GC in the car as the wife has been driving the car more than I have lately. Anyways I had to bring in the Focus to...

So green GC is green going into the car. So what colour does it change into going out of the car? I know I'm weird.

The rinse phase of the ARX treatment on my Ford Focus Wagon (78000kms) 4 cyln is almost complete. Had no oil leaks or anything unusual show up except for very dark oil. So I'm hoping since everything went well, I'm done with the ARX treatment. Now for the great part. I'd love to put synthetic...

Hi YA Folks, I'm a new member to BITOG, but I never looked in this forum because of the word "diesel" in the title. But here I am reading about the best oil deal in Canada post. But people are using it in regular gas cars. Right now I'm in the cleaning phase of an Auto-RX treatment on my two...

Hey Folks, A few quick questions. I'll be coming up to the 1000mile cleaning phase of the Auto-rx treatment on my two cars. Do I do an oil analysis on this oil or should I wait until after the rinsing phase? And I live in Canada, how do I get an oil analysis done? Any trouble shipping oil...

I have two cars that I started the the Auto-rx treatment about 2 weeks ago. The first car is a Ford Focus wagon 4cyln engine with 75000kms. When I first put in Auto-rx with fresh Pennzoil 5w20 oil (and new filter), the oil on the dipstick was so clear and light that it was almost impossible to...

Hey, I was just wondering who's got the biggest stash of GC in their garage. ( living room or bedroom with some of you folks )

Hey I finally found GC in my neck of the woods. It's not in any Walmarts near me, but I found it at the Canadian tire store near my work. So it only comes in the 0w30 flavour. All the other Castrols in the same type of bottle are "Made in the US". But I also found a Castrol Syntec xxxxx ( I...

Hi Ya Folks, I've been reading the posts on this site for over a month, and I have to say you guys are worth your weight in GOLD. I can't get enough of this site. But now I need a little help. I must be missing something, or I'm not searching properly. I'm trying to learn more about oils...
