    SuperTech motor oil

    Originally Posted By: LuckyStrike Any thoughts on SuperTech motor oil? You get what you pay for from cheap oil and filters. I always stick to major brand engine oil companies, partly because you know who has made the oil and that they do not make changes to its mix without changing the PDS...

    Liqui Moly Ceratec

    I like German Liqui Moly oil additives and their top of the range Synthoils, BUT I never agreed to allowing Germany and France to control my own countries destiny, so voted to leave. The commonwealth is in great shape and we will rebuild our empire based on its good relationships with its...

    Liqui Moly Ceratec

    Need recommendations for an oil filter

    Originally Posted By: MajorCavalry Purchased a 2016 Lexus IS 300 F Sport. Been looking into oil filters. Really hard to find any information on efficiency, quality, etc. I am not sure of my oil change interval plan. Three thoughts: 10K with filter, 5K oil 10K filter, or 5K oil and filter. So...

    PP burning really fast-which other oil to use?

    Originally Posted By: Trav +1 These oils are known to be good cleaners at the piston ring area, as they remove varnish and deposits accumulated over the years oil tends to get past the rings for a time.

    PP burning really fast-which other oil to use?

    First of all, have you checked the CCV is not blocked ?? Penn Plat is a low friction oil, so if you compare the oil consumption with a dino based oil of the same viscosity I would not be surprised it burns slightly more. Same for all FS oils when used in worn blocks. All you need do is to add...

    Fire bombing in Canada.

    Ah, I should not have given you the impression it was an international conspiracy, as it might not have been. It could have been just a series of training flights within Canada, so even if the aircraft were hired in the US, the co-pilot did not in fact say the actual fuel dumping flights were...

    Fire bombing in Canada.

    Just to give you all some background info. REE's are used as trace elements for many high tech applications and if China decided to stop exporting those metals to the US, the electronics, automotive and some defence sector companies would have to cease production within a few months in some...

    Fire bombing in Canada.

    It was nothing to do with the US government, although the shortage of REE's is classed as a strategic threat, because China dominates the market. The airliners used were not available in Canada, so they would have been dry leased in the US. No modifications were required, as nearly all large...

    Fire bombing in Canada.

    Hearing a few rumours from some old fellow pilots, that the vast out of control forrest fire in Canada during the spring was assisted by a series of low level fuel dumps. The aircraft involved were based in the US, although I don't know the types of wide body involved. The fires were probably...

    A3/B4 oil use instead of A5/B5

    True, but I forgot to mention that I always try to minimise wear by using top draw oil and filters, changed at an interval that produces the lowest Iron per mile (Or engine on hour in some cases). The reason I do that is cos my beloved TDI has to suffer some serious abuse, including short...
