I was wondering if anyone on the board uses an additive added to the oil reservoir to boost lubrication in their 2 stroke OB.

I received a test (Blackstone) back on my trans fluid which showed 44/ppm of sodium and 24/ppm of potassium. I had a test done on the same fluid 6 months ago and there were 42/ppm of sodium and 2/ppm of potassium. I know these could be markers for coolant. However, nothing indicates there is...

My 140 Nissan has had the Cabela's brand syn-blend 2 stroke oil used in it for the life of the motor (20 years). I was wondering if there would be complications if I switch brands at this point. Not that I am planning on it, but if I was somewhere on a fishing trip and ran out of surplus oil and...

I wanted to check and see if anyone has used BG Dex VI trans fluid? The reason I ask is, the 6L80 crapped out at 88k and had it rebuilt. The shop put in a Billet TQ, Sonnax shift kit and valves and updated the thermostat. After, the vehicle is run for awhile, it has harsh downshifts at 20 & 35...

I have a 2000 Nissan/Tohatsu 140 on my fishing boat. I have always used Cabela Synblend TS oil in it which has been 18 years. Cuz she is getting older I was wondering if I should change to something higher grade oil for injection - like AMSoil Marine TS? I run it about 50-75 hours a year. BTW...

Hello, We have a 2016 XC90 T6 Momentum in the family and have been using Castrol 0-40w Euro car but noticed now Volvo has changed their recommendation to a 0-20W oil with a different approval which is impossible to find in our area - Iowa. I know you can buy the new approvals in a Motul brand...

My oil pressure started dropping in my 07 Tahoe 5.3L (306k) and I am fairly convinced it is the oil pick up seal which mates to th eoil pump. Going to change the oil pump out as well. I know the standard process is to drop the pan which on a 4X4 is a real pain. Anyone have experience with doing...

Was going to change out the ATF in my son's 08 Kia Sorento and am having a heck of a time finding ATF for it other than the OE fluid sold at the dealer. Anybody know if there is a good alternative that is Apolloil Red-1k compatible? Thanks, Tim

I bought a 2017 Tahoe 5.3L that was a theft with 77,000 miles on it. Having no knowledge of any maintenance that has been done. I was going to change the oil and filter and run it for 500 miles and change it again. What oil do you all suggest would be the best for higher detergent content.

Does any one know who manufactures the 2-stroke outboard oil Cabela sells? Thanks, Tim

I am getting ready to pump out the reservoir and replace on my 07 Tahoe. When I check Advance Auto it only brings up Prestone, Other than the GM fluid are those the only two that are usable? Thanks Tim

My son's 2001 Grand Cherokee has a whine coming the power steering pump so I thought I would change the fluid out and see if that quiets it down. Is there any additive you all would suggest to add to this process? Thanks, Tim

Getting ready to replace the rear diff lube in my son'e 01 Grand, 155,000 miles. What brand would you all suggest? I am pretty sure it hasn't been changed in 50k. Thanks for the input. Tim

Good Morning, I have an 07 Tahoe with 269k on her and the rear main is leaking - I need to get up the gumption to fix but its a PIA! Anyway, I currently use Valvoline Maxxlife 5-30. I am wondering if there is an option that may leak less? I have heard that oils with 'esters' have a tendency to...

Going to change out the rear diff on 19 yr old daughter's 99 Passport. I have no idea when the last change was, we have owned it for 3 yrs/27,000 miles. Was going to use the ST 75-90 Syn, it doesn't get much abuse. Thoughts?

I have a Nissan/Tohotsu 120 outboard and I was wondering if anyone had experience with adding Kano Labs Kreen to the fuel to decarb. Thanks for any feed back.

I have a Nissan/Tohatsu 120 on my 19.5 Alumacraft which I have owned for 12 years. I have noticed the engine is smoking over the last two years than before. I assumed its due to wear but I really haven't used the boat much in the last 2 years. Maybe 40 hours over the last two year. It runs...
