Just wondering how the engine temp will change. It is controlled by the temp setting on the thermostat is it not? Tom

Sorry I have been away for some time and just getting back. The answer to the question as to what kind of oil......Mobil 1...but for all its life, I don't know. He had a bottle of Mobil 1 in the engine compartment on display and commented he was on a first name basis with the marketing manager...

A couple of months ago I went up to Stratton, Vt. th the Saab owners convention for the day. What impressed me the most was a Early 90's (can't remember the year)Saab 900 that had.... Hang on now... 956k miles. The owner was obviously quite proud and it was still on its original turbo without...

Well I finally had a chance to do a run with my newly added Green stuff. As far as I can tell, over the same course, the milage with the GC green is the same as the mobil 1 I had been using. I have accumulated about 46 Qts so I am happy with the prelim. results. Tom

Hi, I have a 93 F-150 with 120k miles on it. Had to replace the rear u-joint the other day. This truck does not get much use but I need to keep it for several years to come. Have never changed any drivetrain oil except engine (5 SP standard Tranny, 4 w/d). I did check the tranny, transfer case...

Yesterday was a great day. Finally after months of AutoRx flush and rinse I was able to, at last, add my Green CG. I will be able to get a good sense of the operation and milage in a few days as I will be driving my 60 plus route I have used to get my average milage thus far. Interesting, while...

BigAl, I asked that same question worder a bit differently a while back. I was asking if Syn oil fir a given vis. is more "sliperly" Tom Cape Cod

Rotella T Synthetic was reccommended as a good oil to use as a flush in our turbo Saabs on the ARX website. It was explained to me that as it was a Group III it did not contain the esters that competed with ARX esters. Frank, did I get this right, or are you now saying this was bad advice. Tom

Nickmckinny, I have wondered what happeneed to that cvcc engine design that was so well aplauded when it first came out. Are you saying that the nox was so high that is what killed this design? I oten wondered what happened to it. Tom

Hi, I have using ARX in all 4 vehicles the family has entrusted me to maintain. Three Saabs and mu wife's 97 740IL BMW. I am using Rotella T synthetic as the flush oil as it was recommended as a ggod oil to use with a turbo. Having read all that I can find here I noticed that Rotella has a high...

I have it in 4 cars now. My personal drive is a 96 Saab Aero. I was getting 32-34 mpg on the highway before and now seem to be getting 34-36 and am almost through with the flush. Tom

I have 3 Saabs now and all of them are on a "Auto-RX" program. My personal one s a 96 Aero and although I had a hard time believing it, the milage went from 32-34 strickly highway to 34-36 highway. The other 2 cars and a 00 9-5 and a 01 9-5. It is a well accepted product. I have been using...

I have posted a question on the GC board about the lower amount of moly in their oil is perhaps a factor in the somewhat lower milage reported with this oil. I thought I'd post here as it is more of a gereral technical question. My question is: with 2 oils of the same operating viscosity will...

Thanks for all the replys. Has there been any evidence that the addition of moly or lack of makes an oil of the same weight more or less slippery? There does seem to the concensious that GC does seem to lower milage a bit. True, it is on the thick side for a 30 WT oil, but I guess my question is...

I have been wondering if the somewhat lower gas milages reported here with GC green may be due to the lower moly content as compaired to other synthetic oils. I guess what I am asking is, can an oil with the same operating viscosity have lower resistance or drag than another oil. Ie: can an oil...

Now that is a funny story. Tom Cape Cod

Just got back from 2 other AZ,s and found another 9 bottles at one of them at $4.79 each. Thanks again for all the help, now I just need to get a car to use it in. Just kidding, I maintain 3 Saabs and a BMW for the family. Tom

Thanks very much for the info. Just returned from the closest AZ and out of 12 bottles found one that was M042806..Ya-hoo I have been bitten by the Elves. Went home and told the Mrs I was off on a quest to the other 2 AZ in my ares...she just shook her head. Question: does it only come on 0-30...

99 case2, So the lot number is actually stamped into the plastic on the bottom of the bottle. I was looking at the label on the back and could not find it on the German stuff they had at the local Autozone. I did in frustration open a bottle of German and it was gold... Thanks...of to AZ
