I have a Briggs and Stratton Storm Responder 5500 10HP generator. My question is that it has a plastic shroud around the cylinder, it's on the lower side and can be removed. I cant remember if that was used for cold weather running to help keep in the hot air or if it was used for directing the...

I have a 2014 WRX and run Rotella T-6 5W-40 in it. I have been told by many to run a Porche A40 spec oil in there. Go to NASIOC forums, it is a very large comunity that has more information than you can imagine. Enjoy your car I would have bought an STI if I could afford it. Mark

Originally Posted by skyactiv I'd quit using Rotella in your WRX. That oil got popular in the rex community by a herd mentality. That silver is concerning in my opinion. I recommended using an oil that meets the Porsche A40 spec. I had an 07' WRX. I put a Perrin downpipe on it and a Cobb AP...

This is the old CJ-4 /SM formula. I bought a bunch of it when I herd it was changing. As far as changing oil I suppose I can dump this and try an oil with A40 Porche spec. Kinda surprised to hear Skyactiv say to switch. This oil has been used for many years in turboed EJ's.

Here is my yearly oil change sample. Disappointed that my silver is going up. I'm 52 and drive pretty conservative but do like to get spirited here and there.I do have an oil temp and pressure gage (installed at about 8000 miles) and there hasn't been any change there. Cold idle 103 PSI hot...

Originally Posted by BISCUT Thanks for the info. I have the Suby conditioner already. Comes cheap ($9 for 2 bottles) from Amazon. Just wanted to make sure on the A3 designation but sounds like there are other choices as well. I have 2 Subbies right now and I'd use Pentofrost A3 or the...

I have an Amsoil Bypass Oil Filter on my 2014 WRX. It's been on there for 12,000 miles Ive had 2 UOA and they both came back great. The car only has 24,000 miles on it and I want to take it off and cut it open but at 50 bucks a filter I'm gonna leave it on longer. I will post the pics once I do...

Originally Posted By: JoelB Interesting how on some cars the K&N seems to make a big difference on the UOA, and then some are like yours and seem just fine. Wonder if it's all down to the design of the vehicles intake. Or if it's K&N having a different production method for different size/shape...

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the K&N and stock filter were the same. The whole intake is stock the K&N is a drop in. The silver is interesting I’m 51 and it does not get beat on at all occasional full throttle put on easy. I don’t slam it open. Probably nothing to worry about not my...

A few things here is the airfilter on the 18500 sample was using a K&N in the stock box and the 22100 sample is a stock Denso filter in the stock box. And the Silicones were the same number, looks like the K&N did a good job. Another thing to note is the oil on the 22100 sample is CJ-4/SM...

I have a 2006 Silverado with a 4.8, but no AFM. At 210,000 my lifters started to get noisy only for a little while after start up. At 190,000 miles I started to notice metal flakes in my oil filter ( I always cut open the filter and look in the pleats just for this reason). I found that 2 lobes...

I'm still using the T6 and although it may be the new formula, it is the new bottle with the old CJ-4 /SM rating. I have lots of it. I'm due for my yearly oil change its been about 3500 miles and will send a sample to Blackstone and post it here. Most of what I have was made in October November...

Hi Tanner, has your 5.3 developed the start up noise or has it always been there? I have a 06 Silverado and it developed the lifter noise at the same milage as your truck but I always cut open my oil filters at noticed at that time it had started to make metal, did some research and found out...
