Emergency shut off's do not refer to the individual pump that you are standing next to, they are ussually a big red button on the side of the building that shuts off power to all of the pumps in the station, mainly in the event of a fire. They are generally not for small spills. The days of...

Why would 2 stroke oil be a waste of time? It is oil, so presumablby has all of the lubricity enhancers intact, and it is made to burn. Using it may be more expensive than other additives, but can't see why it wouldnt be good for the pump, valves, etc.

I just said that is what it is labled, it has many beneficial properties aside from the octane boost. It is not just your normal alcohol based product. Coming from synergyn I trust it to have higher quality ingrediants than a botlle of Berrryman's or even Techron. It is seems to act more like a...

i picked up a bunch of their stuff on clearance, so far the 120 octane boost labeled/UCL my car really seems to like.

Change in gasoline formulation? New levels of ethanol mandated in pump gas replacing MTBE? Seems a large number of people across the board are reporting decreased gas mileage right now with heat waves going on and AC's on 100% of the time. Summer gas this year is not like summer gas of previous...

Because you totally missed the point that the interpretation is the interpretation of a lab technician, and was not a Dyson Analysis. You got the basic UOA that anyone gets, no-one gets more than you did for a basic UOA w/ TBN, If you need more info, call them up, I've heard blackstone is very...

I have this blend in my truck right now, 5qts of 5-40 Mobil Delvac to 8 qts of Delo 15-40 plus one qt of GC 0-30 with a touch of VSOT and LC thrown in. The past 3000 miles the engine has been very smooth and strong, 0 oil consumption and it the oil is only starting to look sooty. 15 qt sump...

Adding LS additive when it is not needed can result in an ineffectual LS rear end, worst case it would be not LS at all and be full slip , just like an open diff. Then when you need it, you won't have it, and end up stuck.

As has been stated time and again on this board, brand conciosness was more applicable when oil was refined from specific wells of crude. Now brand conciosness is more about what the physical properties are and trying to fine tune the oil choice to match the needs of the engine and operating regime.

If the oil is just sitting in an engine not used it oxidizes at a much slower rate than when in use. It will be fine after 3 months, 6 months, ... somewhere on this board is a UOA of oil that had been sitting in a crankcase for x number of years, x>2, and then run and it was perfectly fine. An...

Yes, these are often considered fleet oils.

HDMO, HDEO = Heavy Duty Motor Oil, Heavy Duty Engine Oil. Thes oils typically have either 'C' ratings for diesel engines, or like the straight 30 weight varieties say Heavy Duty or HD on the label. Do not use one unless it also has a corresponding 'S' rating (SG, SH,SJ...) rating on the label as...

Mercon V is a spec, it says nothing whatsoever about the basestocks used. There are dino Mercon V, blends, and full synthetics that are rated Mercon V.

LT4 , Please post the link! If it is Manchester Honda, I have that one already.

Last time I remember adjusting valves it was as a kid, and Dad always did it with the engine running. seemed pretty easy that way and seemed to work. Does nobody do it that way anymore? Maybe would not work so well on a slant or V motor?

maxlife may be recommended for Z1, but it is nowhere near the same in shift feel, and still requires the addition of FM's IMO. Tried it, the shifting was so much worse couldn't wait to get it out.

Traveller oil always reminds me of "The Travellers", you know those families of people that go all around the country being professional con men. Not a good selling image. ;-)

I have NGK wires and really like them. They are blue, look good too.

Just go to Autozone or OReilly's (or whatever you have, PB's, etc) and get it, and sometimes for less too.
