bump anyone?

Copper was well above average in the first sample from your Taurus. We aren't ready to call this a problem, as all other wear read well within the normal range, though it does show excess wear at a brass/bronze part. It may show a problem with a bushing or the turbo (if the engine has one)...

how do you post the analysis?

No oil cooler I'm aware of.

What would produce high copper in the new Duratec 3.5 with 30k on the motor? Blackstone did the testing, the only odd result was high copper 65 with unit avgs of 18. Everything else is normal. Any ideas?

The stuff looks fine to me. Not separated, or if it is, it is very slight in the sense that a couple tubes are slightly oily. Other tubes are fine. I've got 4 more left. I've got mobil 1 grease, but that seems to separate faster than this stuff. I'll have to give it away to some guy who has a...

I've got 1/2 case of Stalube lithium grease that is probably 15 yo. I loaded a tube of it into my grease gun, and just noticed that it says it is fine except where EP environments. Should I continue to grease my steering components with it? Should I go and buy a good water resistant grease and...

Thats why I like the idea of LoJack. I'll let them have the car, but someone is going to find them. Lets just say I like the idea of someone going to prison to become someones girlfriend.

I didn't think it would remove varnish either. I thought the detergents only prevented it, not remove it. But I am happy with what it is doing though.

I just ran 2 11k OCI's with M1 Ext Performance through a 2001 Mazda Protoge and noticed that the lifters/cam/head was much cleaner than before. I had been using M1 10-30 from 40k until the new extended performance came along car now has 115k. There used to be a brownish varnish look to all the...

I once cleaned my glock in hot water and nothing else after shooting it under salt water.

1988 Lincoln Town Car, various oils from quick lube places, but mainly dealer oil changes, 198,000 miles so far, OCI unknown, 3-5k miles. Just got the car from my parents, going to run mobil 5000 with wix filters from here on out at 5k intervals. 2000 Mazda Protoge, various oils until 45k when...

Krytox is definitely overkill for this application. I'll have to go to napa to check this stuff out. Thanks

Piston on a gun part that will be exposed to flames and really hot gas. Any idea what dow product/du pont product? As to the stuff from napa, what size tube does it come in and is it reasonably priced considering how much you get?

Does anyone know where to get a grease that will not carbonize if it gets real hot? I have a sample from a guy but it is not labeled and seems to work pretty well. It looks like silicone caulking that is clear and is incredibly viscous, it seems to lube pretty well, does not migrate even under...
