Who makes stainless steel exhaust flanges? I am trying to build a 2.5" or 3" custom exhaust. I don't care if it is 2 bolt or 3 bolt pattern. 3/8 thickness would be very nice! I hate rusty exhaust systems more than anything else If anyone knows suppliers and their web sites, please post it here...

I am trying to get rid of overstocked German Castrol. My local UPS & FedEx are giving me a hard time. They are telling me that I can not ship motor oil becasue it is considered to be hazardous material Is this true or BS? I am wondering how Amsoil dealers ship their oil. Thanks.

Usually, I don't mix different viscosities and brands. However, I think I've found a golden formulation for my Turbo Talon manual transmission. In the past, I used BG Syncroshift and it worked well for last 3 years. However, this is fairly expensive ($10+/qt) and difficult find. So I've looked...

The moment most of you have been waiting for! Here is the used oil sample of the Mr. Moly (same as MolySlip E Oil Supplement found on the shelves of Canadian Tire). The first column is the lastest result and the second column is the last UOA without Mr. Moly in parenthesis. Car: 95 Saturn SL1...

I am really confused Castro USA says: Castrol USA Castrol Canada says: Castrol Canada To clarify this, I went to a local Autozone and found 0W-30 Castrol Syntec. Yes, it had red label, but back label said, 'Exceed ACEA A1-98'. I thought about buying a bottle to see if it was green oil...

I have an oil-leakage problem around turbo oil feed line, which is tapped into oil filter housing. Should I use Teflon tape around the pipe thread or Teflon pipe sealant? Maybe RTV? I don't want to waste any single drop of expensive Moibl 1

I just got back from SAE (Society of Automotive Engineer) World Congress which took place in Detroit, MI on March 3-7. At the exhibition there, I found a Russian vender, VMPAUTO who presented their metal-plating oil additives. I spoke to one of representives and found out that the main key...

Although it was 10F outside today ,I changed oil for my oil drinking Saturn. This time I added about 6 oz. of Mr. Moly additive with 4 quarts of Mobil Drive Clean 5W-30. Mr. Moly is the same stuff as 'MolySlip E' sold at Canadian Tire store. It is just a different label. I am not a believer of...

One of local K-mart is closing out. I check out their oil and oil filter section. 10% on any oil and 20% on oil filter. There are some Castrol MaxPro filter left on the shelf. They look like high quality filters made by Wix. They are $3.50 so it would be $2.80 with 20% discount. I don't know if...

Someone posted this message few days ago So I asked a Lingenfelter engineer about this statement and here is what he responds:

My Eagle Talon manual transmission calls for " MOPAR Hypoid gear oil or equivalent API classification GL-4 or higher " according to the service manual. Does it mean that I can use GL-5 gear oil? It is very difficult to find GL-4 oil.

I am going to be in Toronto (leaving U.S.) for this weekend. While I am over there, I think I am going to buy some Petro-Canada dino or synthetic oil. Where can I find them,Wal-Mart? Canadian Tire? How much are they usually? Thanks. [ January 17, 2003, 01:59 PM: Message edited by: TurboFrog ]
