LOL, trash oil? Maybe you should look at the gas you are running.

Looks like quite a ride for those passengers! One thing I do love about the DC-10/MD-11 is the gargantuan windows on the cockpit. I would imagine it has one of the best views among commercial aircraft.

For me, there are two at the top for cartridge filters...CarQuest Premium and Fram Ultra. I see no problems, at all, with the Fram Ultra, but the CarQuest Premium is the better value. For spin-ons for my Vette and my wife's Compass (same filter!), the CarQuest Premium is my favorite, followed...

Check this out.....Any landing you can walk away from is a good one! LOL.

Wow! What´s the hull loss rate on something like a 777? Maybe that Boeing software really helped and that´s why I see smooth landings?

Brownsburg, Indiana, 46112.......Price dropped yesterday. $3.33 at Mapco and Wawa and soon to follow at BP and Marathon. I´ve been using the Earnify app at BP for a $0.20 cent per gallon discount on Fridays in April and May. So I paid $3.25 Friday evening. Too bad the drop didn´t occur then.

My 2018 Jeep's Raisin specifies ATF+4 and seems to have no complaints after 113,000 miles. Shifts are nice and smooth. My old 2008 Jeep's NSG 370 ran MTF of a much higher viscosity. It had worn out synchros at 116k. I also changed it every 30k with Pennzoil Synchromesh. So far, ATF for...

Interesting, but I've not heard of any major accidents on landing. Maybe there were mishaps that were not publicized? I watch them land at Indianapolis International Airport frequently and have never seen even a rough landing in one. Smooth approaches, smooth touchdowns. All Fed-Ex jets...

FS1 has the Indy 500 Victory Celebration right now. They are up to P11. There is some fun and interesting commentary from the drivers. Also, there´s some cool insight into their drives.

How about Valvoline Restore and Replace? It turns the clock backward on wear...making the engine go from worn to brand new again! Put that stuff in it you can see the reduction in smoke within a few hundred miles. After three 5k OCI´s, the compression in each cylinder goes back to...

That was a great race, and I was a Hornish fan, but looking back, I kinda wish Andretti had won it. The way Hornish left Indycar left a bad taste. He should have stayed in Indycar. Nascar never liked outsiders, unless they took a special liking to them. Hornish could have had a record book...

I just don´t see how you could say Rosenqvist was likely to win anyway. That´s the part that was interesting to me. They were in position, but there´s no most likely to win. Yeah, he was on point with strategy, but so was Armstrong, and let´s face it....yellows are VERY likely in the last 20...

I have no problem with it. What I would have a problem with would be extending the race, like Nascar does. 200 laps is it. Red flag doesn´t change that. It gives it a chance to get settled on the gas instead of with pure luck.

What race did you watch? Rosy didn´t lead much at all today.

I´ve been to something like 45 Indy 500 races and I don´t think I have ever seen a better one. Congrats to Rosenqvist. He´s a great driver and a class act.

Or, since we're wildly guessturbating, maybe the Mobil 1 Advanced Clean cleaned up crap the Valvoline Restore and Protect left behind.

Nah, no usage of oil and a couple of UOA´s looked good. I brought my own oil and filters to the shop and they did the change for $20, at the time. The owner is a friend. The Transit was so low that it was just too hard for me to change the oil in the driveway. On top of that, my ex drove the...

Probably melted. The engine had no oil. What do yours look like?

Color me skeptical. I had a Ford Ecoboost that ran Mobil 1 Extended Protection 5w30 on 10k OCI´s. No issue there, either. AT 80k, it blew out all the oil due to an oil change shop mistake. When the engine was removed, the valve covers were off and the valve train was clean without any...

ROTFLOL, Bitog consensus? I can´t remember that happening too often in the 21 years I´ve been around here. Although I do think Valvoline Restore and Protect is about as close as something could get to it.
