    New to EcoDiesel - questions about first oil change

    Good morning all. I just bought a 2022 Ram 1500 with the 3.0L EcoDiesel, and I have a few questions. I've searched BITOG and am up to speed on the proper spec - MS-12991 - so no questions there. As a newbie to EcoDiesel and diesels in general, I have two questions: (1) When is the "ideal" time...

    Amsoil / Redline in Corvette eLSD?

    Hello all, been a while since I've posted here. I've searched for answers to the following questions both here and on Corvetteforum and am coming up empty, so I'll start my own thread. Feel free to weigh in on anything related to the eLSD. I track the car and have had no problems at all with the...

    Ester vs PAO - GDI and emissions considerations

    Hi all, another question from a newbie here. My Corvette calls for the new Dexos 2 certified Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP. As I understand it, Dexos 2 is a low-SAPS formulation which is meant to protect emissions systems, hence the "ESP" in the name of this particular one. I also understand this...

    Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP

    Corvette with 8-speed auto has 6K miles on it, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to do a "flush" (not pressurized, just get the old out and put new in). I know there have been lots of problems with the 8L90 in these Vettes, but supposedly GM has it under control now with the new...

    50 weight oils for Corvette track use

    Prior to 2019, Corvette owner manuals recommended switch to Mobil 1 15W-50 for track use. In 2019, with the switch to Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP, this is no longer officially recommended. However, when I recently attended the Corvette Owners School at Spring Mountain, they said they still use exclusively...

    Ravenol 5W-40 for LT1?

    Anyone here used Ravenol VMO 5W-40 in an LT1? It has Dexos2 cert. I have no complaints whatsoever with the Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP, just having heard great things about the German-made oils, I thought I would ask the question. My thinking is starting with the 5 instead of 0, maybe it's a little...

    Amsoil SS Fuel Efficient or Redline D6 in place of WS in Tacoma?

    Looking for advice on replacing the WS in my 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro. Truck has 28K miles, so I'm thinking it's broken in and ready for something better than factory-fill WS. Would love to hear everyone's opinion on Amsoil SS and Redline D6, in particular from anyone who may have used one or the...

    Odd issue in Tacoma 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS)

    I had a check engine light a few weeks ago and OBD scanner indicated Code P0024 - B Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance. I did some internet research (TacomaWorld forum) and several posts indicated that it could be caused by dirty oil or particles - several had...

    Question re Dexos 2 0W-40 for new Corvette

    Hello all, this is my first post, though I've been searching/stalking for months now I bought a 2019 Corvette Z51 a few months ago, and the first oil change was a debacle - dealer assured me they had the new Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 (Dexos 2), then filled it with the old standard 5W-30. Two days later...
