Gumout Expert Series Regane Complete Fuel System Cleaner. That is an impressive title! I have never used Gumout products, but these were on sale at Ollies and looked priced to move for PEA fuel system cleaner. Anyone have any experience with this product?

Originally Posted By: bbhero I will have to say jk that you are willing to run a Frame is quite impressive. I don't mind running the Purolator Boss on my car. Just have to check the louvers first Purolators have a slightly higher price point and they aren’t available at Walmart where I buy...

Goodtimes how dare you question the almighty Fram filter? Beware...Disagreeing with Frampires gets you suspended....

I exclusively used Purolator oil filters for years (even during the "tearing" crisis.) I used Classics to 3k and Pureones to 5k and never opened one that was torn. There was a while were I posted proof every time I would change the oil on one of my vehicles. I must have been exempt from "all" of...

Originally Posted By: jazztrumpet216 So, I’ve been gone for awhile. I’m seeing all kinds of posts with people using FRAM filters. When I was last here, they were considered to be so bad we had members performing exorcisms on them (okay, maybe not THAT bad, but close). Are they considered to be...

I second calling the dealer and figuring out which one is the right length based on your VIN number, then order a belt from rock auto of equivalent size. I would order a Gates brand belt. I like Gates products (belts, hoses, tensioners, etc.) If you are doing the belt, you may as well change...

Artem I started another thread with updates on the Cobalt. Feel free to take a look.

Thank you for the input Snagglefoot. I have had him using Supertech since it was the cheapest oil with a decent all around additive pack, readily available at Walmart; but I have not priced out GTX so I'm not sure how comparable the price point is. I know this isn't the PCMO forum, but I...

Originally Posted By: Oldtom Any possibility the owner could trade it in before the engine dies? A newish Cobalt should have some resale value. This poor Cobalt was already wrecked by the first owner who had it for about a year, has a bent rear axle and a few other problems. I don't know how...

Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog That oil filter looks good! I know the Ecotec filters have a bad reputation for buckling, so that one did great! When is the next oil change going to be? Will you pull the valve cover again soon? I would love to pull the valve cover and take a look...

At first I was hopeful that maybe the amount of sludge buildup was keeping oil from effectively lubing the top of the chain but at this point I almost feel certain (taking into consideration the susceptibility the EcoTec engine has for failed timing components, coupled with the amount of sludge...

Fram CH9018 from the Sludged Cobalt discussed in the mechanical/maintenance forum. Filter in use 1 month.

I am not sure. I will ask when I speak with him later. We have been operating under the assumption it is the result of sludgd motor and timing chain tensioner/guide.

So as promised, here is an update of the sludged cobalt. Yesterday the engine got its monthly 5 minute motor flush and oil change. New fill was 4 Qts ST conventional 5w30 +1 Qt MMO First, the oil filter (Fram CH9018) This was the oil out (5 minute motor flush + 3 Qts ST 5w30, 1 Qt ST...

We had IPSC and IDPA guys at one of the ranges I worked at. I would agree that you should go to some events and ask questions, all great guys usually, eager to share their knowledge. Then be prepared to buy / build an expensive race gun and a reloading set up. That is an expensive hobby...
