Trifecta recommends it if you ask. Strictly due to how lspi prone these engines are and amsoils 100% protection. I run 5w20 in mine. They changed nothing to change the spec from 5/30 to 0/20. They did it for cafe brownie points. Thinner oil does provide better fuel economy and more hp. You have...

I persoanlly run amsoil ss in mine. I have a 19 and its trifecta tuned, mamba wga, gfb bpv, gmpp intake, full catless exhaust. The current oil specs allow up to 3 lspi events. Amsoil is the only oil that promotes 100% lspi protection. I run the ss for 7-9k whenever the olm gets to 0%.

I remember seeing the motor at a car show, it has like 2 con rods, one straightens out to change the compression.

A word to those running Rotella T6 and other HDEOs in gasoline engines because some loudmouth on BITOG or some forum told you to. Don't. I used to tell this to people all the time; that HDEOs don't belong in gasoline engines, but I've learned a lot more lately as to specifically why that is the...

Lol perfect

Oil for a big drill?

I see that so much in my shop with bmw and fram cartage filters. The only ones that dont seem to have the end caps come off are mahle or mann ones. Thats what ive noticed lately.

Just a update to everyone, i swapped tune/injectors back to 60 and the issue is alot better. I did turn the key on with the 26 injectors out and one of them got damp so i assume its a tiny leak. I thought swapping would fix it. but just wanted some more advice and it worked. Thanks everyone who...

Yes i have a tune for the 60's. Im only assuming at this point. Ive noticed worse mpg, more vibrations, less power, slight bit more turbo lag. First i thought it was a purge event. But not if its having to subtract fuel? Just today it did it again. It would slowly creep up from -3 "where is...

The thing is it will do it on and off. Its done it the past 3 days. It used to be like twice a week at a random stoplight. Now its done it everytime i idle once warm. Originally Posted by Trav If I read your post correctly you answered your own question, leaking injector.The ECM is pulling...

Just replaced my evap purge solenoid. It was $20 so i didnt think it would hurt. No change with that. Originally Posted by clinebarger So you have 2 different calibrations......One for the 60# Injectors & One for the 26# Injectors? My first thought would be injectors.....Followed by, Sucking...

Platform is 2012 cruze 1.4 manual. I have a hot dynotune on it and its been perfect for about 6 months until now. My idle is super rich and has a rich missfire if i hold rpms below 1500. Driving is perfectly normal. The ltft like to hang around -3 to +3 while driving normal or under hard pulls...

With a scan gauge or plug in obd thing. +10 to -10 is acceptable. If your ltft are say -30 that means its pulling 30% fuel over stock map. So that would say leaky injector you know stuff like that. If it was like +30 you would have a large vacuum leak or something since its adding %30 fuel...

Hows your ltft? That might tell a story

That was actually the lube they used on the vents. 12+ they quit using that lube. Originally Posted by pbm Originally Posted by nascarnation , I had two Cruzes, a 2011 and 2014 and liked them both, plan to buy a used one for my grandson in a couple years. Resale value seems to be poor which I...
