'05 Chevy Silverado- Ridiculously prone to rusting. (and oh boy has it done so) '11 Mazda 2- heat and air conditioning are mediocre (bonus points for having good old fashioned cable actuated controls though) '87 Mazda RX7- interior electronics prone to failure due to bad solder joints. '13...

Edward, the top speed is 50 uphill, 55-62 on level ground with no headwind, and 72.5 downhill or drafting a truck (rev limiter in the highest gear.) Long trips aren't that bad, the Grom is fairly comfortable, even for my 6'3" self. I just bolt my plastic box on the back and use "avoid highways"...

It's my daily driver year-round as long as it's above 25 degrees or so and isn't snowing. Plus I take it on a lot of adventures, I've had it in 20 different states, from Georgia up to Maine, and even into Canada once. There's just something so fun about doing things on a pit bike that shouldn't...

Thanks, Skyactiv!

30,500 HARD miles on this engine. Most of the time I am at or above the redline at 100% throttle. This sample was taken from Honda brand 10w30 synthetic with 2,000 miles on it. The engine has a spinner instead of a filter. The plastic referenced in the report is from my failed timing chain...

Oh, I do. It gets redlined at least once every time I drive it (after 10-15 minutes of driving to get it good and warm)

That car is at best a $800 car, so if I were to sell it here in rural Appalachia one of two things would happen: 1) some hillbilly would run it into the ground and then crush it. 2) some hillbilly would swap a smallblock Chevy engine into it, run it into the ground, then crush it. I think she's...

Yeah, I may go back to the yellow bottle Pennzoil. There's no way I'll ever sell that car, my mother bought it new and drove it until 2000, then it sat 12 years until I got it running again. I hadn't driven it much lately because it has no heat, no A.C., no power steering, wouldn't idle, no...

All original, 120,000 miles, non-turbo, 20w50 Super Tech conventional, standard STP filter. 500 miles and 1 year on this oil. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7fn7AZ3PmpVgfPH73

Thanks! I've been lurking for years but haven't had much to add to conversations. I'm planning on hopefully sharing some oil analysis results in the next few weeks.

Yep! That's it. Thanks a bunch, I searched and searched and couldn't find it earlier today.

A year or two ago I frequently visited a website that listed results from oil analisys they had performed on dozens of different brands of new, unused motor oil. Does anyone know which website I'm thinking of? I believe it may have been a nonprofit organization. Thanks in advance!
