Went WM to pickup m1 hm 10w40 for the BMW and noticed that all the jugs where labeled API SL and no ACEA A3 approval noted. Noted that the quarts still labeled with ACEA A3 rating. Then I noted that the 5w30 version was SL rated, jugs and quarts. Went to Pep Poys, same story, all HM verssions...

OK... sorry if this has been discussed. Search is not cool enough to return what I am looking for... What has happened with the way the forum keeps your authenticaiton? I login, and drive into a fews threads, hop to another forum and suddenly I can't post because the board thinks I have not...

All my analyses have been done by Terry Dyson and he continues to impress me more and more each year. This is the first UOA on this particular truck with total of 28,000 miles on the engine. A 1500 WT addition, 5.3L J VIN Iron Block, Non-Flex, 3.73 Rear Axle. The ONLY factory add on this truck...

Everyone, This forum truly has the greatest wealth of knowledge on the internet, so I feel I would simply be better served asking on this board vs. any other. All questions related to new Chevy body style, full size Work Truck 2008 Ext. Cab. 1. Floor mats. My floor covered in vinyl (WT), I...

While at a stop, after a random amount of time, you can hear and feel a thump from the diff, almost as if someone lightly tapped your rear bumper. I'm guessing this has something to do with the auto locking diff? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, Just seeking opinions regarding GM/Chevy truck boards/forums which I might find useful???? I've run into one or two so far, and the ones that I have run into seem to be especially geared to add/mods in appearance. It is cool enough to see a few threads in this regard, but not post...

By my research and also physical measurements, the AC Delco PF48 requires a cup wrench that is 73mm with 15 flutes. I see this does exist in the world, but so far as I've seen, only in full kits. Anyone else finding this tool hard to find? Cheers!

A very nice discussion in another thread re: ACEA B vs. E has me wondering similarly: Why are the auto makers only asking owners to look for weight AND the API Starburst symbol? I know Honda states the look for the Starburst symbol and 5w-20 .... GM says look for Starburst, 5w-30 and their pump...

Stated capacity is six qts. Required oil filter is the AC Delco PF48. When purchased the oil was WAY over the fill line on the dipstick..... no worries... I dumped the factory fill and poured in 5.5 qts. of oil. I did not change the OF. I am now still well over the fill line. IMO it is...

Just a funny fyi ,,,, and no not grape flavored, but clearly grape scented as the bottle states as much. I was at the dealer picking up a case of PF48's and the guys at the counter had the new 75W-90 full syn out and where talking about it's grape smell. Of interest also, the product hails to...

I have not owned a domestic made vehicle in more than 25 years until yesterday :) I only seem to remember AC Delco .... I don't ever remember GM branded anything .... so now I see there choices in both for many items... including of course oil filters and air filters. Is this just marketing or...

Two reports from Terry to share with you as I never posted the first report. February 10, 2007 Report: I took ownership of this vehicle and thought to run to oil by Terry. PO kept excellent care and all records. Oil by shop listed to be bulk Valvoline 15w40. Not much to add, however I can...

Hello Everyone, I've posted in regards to using Rotella 15w40 CJ4 in my 96 bmw 318i with great success for the past year. (UOA from Terry to come shortly) At the time of taking ownership of the car, the debate was between 10w30 and 15w40 hdeo, or the BMW LL01 LL98 route. P.O. used 15w40 bulk...

Hello Everyone, Had really been on the board in a long time, had really seen/used the new format. Search function I cannot make happy In doing a radiator swap on my 96 318i, I had to pull the AT cooler. I did not lose a much AT fluid, but even the factory service guide warns to top off after...

Many thanks to Terry Dyson!!! This UOA may be of interest to some in that namely: 1.) Air filter was cheapo STP put in fresh for this run of oil. The AF saw the exact same number of miles that the oil did. 2.) Honda Filtech Inc. oil filter had been left on from previous OCI, so filter had a...

When I used to live in Dallas, I knew a guy at NTB and he always did all of my alignments. He always let me come back and watch. I also liked that this particular NTB was always so busy that they had dedicated alignment techs. This guy told me that at other NTBs all the guys will 'try' and get...

I was using Google to find info regarding a particular spec, I can't remember which now .... and ran across this little RFQ that a city in New York put out. I know I don't want to rack my own brain with such details, but it would be interesting to see which Bob favorites fall into their specs...
