Did you get a UOA for the factory oil? Just curious.

Did you change the oil with Valvoline or is that the factory oil?

Have a Michelin (iirc Premier) on one car. It's very noisy and tread life is half of advertised. All tires wore evenly. At first I thought something is wrong with car. In icy cold weather it 5x noisy. Never had a tire like that! Switched to Cooper in one car and it lasted about 80K miles and...

Recall reading some stuff in old days about the exploitation of proletariat. I just remembered that. Had a socialist friend and he gave me a book or pamphlet ... I lost contact with him but heard that he is a liberal now and has moved towards the center. He must be driving nice cars now! lol

Didn't they close shop on Titan also?

I wondered if these stuff can leak somewhere not intended for and for example stick and cause issues with valves, spark plugs or rings, get into crankcase, etc. That's why I won't use them in my good cars without more research!

If you have billions of cars, it will add up. Isn't that what CAFE is for? One single car or even a family with 4 cars, you should look for a bigger fish to fry!

I have a feeling that the mpg $ savings for the month is less than the difference between the price of one order of large vs. extra large drink at McDonald's drive thru. Fries 🍟 are another story and no hths can compensate for that. Would you like fries with that?

I've ran it in all my cars from new to very old. Not a drop burns! It's one of my favorite oils. Most don't need 0W but it's fashionable ... unless you are chasing some Euro spec. If it's that cold, get a block heater in addition to 0W. M1 EP 10W does the job especially down south. Low Noack...

Between Castrol Edge 5W-30 and M1 EP 5W-30, I'll pick M1 EP 10W-30. 🏁 If you like moly, another good oil is Valvoline EP 5W-30.

Is yours still holding up? I added mine directly to the radiator and it's still in there. I see copper looking particles floating in there when I open the radiator cap. I don't think I'm going to flush the radiator but need to read the instructions. iirc, it's ok to leave it in there. The car...

What about the other third that likes moly? You forgot to include us! Actually two thirds like moly but the other third is in the closet and they'll admit sooner or later. lol They buy expensive oils that has lots of moly but they say it's for "other" reasons! :alien:

I'm not into canned stuff to fix engine issues and the only other time I bought something like it was a bottle of Rislone oil additive. It was $5 or $6 and I wanted to see if it makes the engine quieter and it had good reviews and my friend recommended it and said he had good results ... I knew...

oil is so expensive these days ... is the guy running away with a gallon of HPL or is that cash?

I Bought EverStart Maxx at Wal-Mart about 3 or so years ago and it had a 3-yr warranty plus additional 2-yr pro-rated. At the time Costco had 36 months and Wal-Mart warranty was better and the batteries were the same price. My previous battery before then was from Costco when they had a 42...

I think Makita loves to grease stuff. I had another thread that my new Makita cordless tool had grease on the battery terminals. I assume dielectric grease. Never seen that with any of my other cordless tools or gadgets ... and now this leak. I have several old corded stuff and had never seen...

It has lots of moly!

I checked the short 6 pages of instruction manual that came with the box and it says "Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories." There are no instructions anywhere and I even downloaded the 3 .pdf documents from Makita and searched and there are no lube instructions! On the...

Man, used to know every element and had memorized LOTS of them. Now they look like a foreign language ... Kind of sad!

Rusted out frame too? Told you not to use thin oil. lol
