Eight years ago I switched to synthetic oil in my 1995 Maxima SE. I have been buying Esso Extra XD3 0w30 full synthetic. I recently bought a 12 litre case of Mobil Delvac Elite 222 0w30, which Imperial Oil's technical department here in Canada assures me is the same oil as Esso Extra XD3 it is a...

I just received my first ever results back from Blackston Labs. This is for my 95 Maxima SE. The OCI was 8,000 kms on the nose (just under 5,000) miles. Mileage on the clock was 71,700 mostly highway. The OCI was 12.5 months and I ran Gumout Regane for 260 miles, just before the drain. I use a...

I have a can of BG44K someone kindly gave me. I have never used the product before. I have two vehicles I am contemplating using it in (but will only use it in 1 of them). I am wondering how much gasoline to mix the 11 ounce can with and whether I should use it just before a scheduled oil...

I just switched to Esso XD3, 0w30, PAO, full synthetic following completion of my AutoRX rinse phase. This is the first time I have used synthetic oil. The car in question is a 95 Maxima SE with 62,700 mostly highway miles on it. I have owned the car since day 1. Would I benefit from adding...

I just arranged the sale of my stepfather's 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee to my nephew. My stepfather had the vehicle stolen 2 years ago and no longer has the owner's manual. I saw a recent oil change sticker showing 15W40 dino oil of some sort used. Does that make sense? The Jeep has 81,500 miles...

I completed the AutoRX clean phase on my 1995 Maxima SE, 5-speed. I replaced the oil with Pennzoil 5W30 dino oil and a Nissan OEM oil filter today. The vehicle has 60,700 mostly highway miles on it. I don't believe the engine and crankcase were particulary sludge/varnish affected, but I went...

Phone up the manager and threaten to report him to the Better Business Bureau, or state equivalent.

I have just started my cleaning phase on my initial use of AutoRX. I changed the oil filter and am using 5W30 oil that the dealership put in some time back. I have 59K mostly highway miles on my 95 Nissan Maxima. I usually run Castrol GTX 5W30 which is what I will be using in the rinse phase...

Well further to my earlier thread of AutoRX vs Seafoam, thanks to Quest, who only lives about 2 miles from me and who I just met through BITOG, I am now the proud owner of a bottle of AutoRX, 3/4 of which currently resides in my 95 Nissan Maxima SE (along with a new OEM oil filter) which has...

I just heard about Esso XD-3 yesterday and came across the address and phone number for an Esso bulk plant in Cloverdale. However, they do not stock the product and gave me an alternate location to contact. M.R. Smith 3100 Underhill Burnaby, BC (604) 420-4331 This location is in the Lake City...

A friend of mine recently bought a Hastings oil filter for his 1998 Honda Accord with a V6 engine. I see they are made in the US but I've never heard of them. Are they any good? I am contemplating switching from dino, mostly Castrol GTX 5W30 to Mobil 1 synthetic. Mobil 1 oil filters aren't...
