Unearthed Norian Compadre #001 It is an oil forum after all.

If you have to add something to your oil, you're using the wrong oil. Oil formulas are carefully balanced. Don't upset that balance by playing backyard shadetree chemist with a supplement. If you need additional ZDDP, there's plenty of oils out there that are already balanced around a higher...

It's a tongue in cheek comment meant to be humorous. The 70s was quite an era.

So did the boomers when they were that age, but instead of Youtube shorts and Tiktoks, they cured their attention span and boredom with amphetamines and quaaludes.

SUNO AI Stealing Until Nobody's Original I think there's a place for AI in very limited settings. I don't want AI to do my google searches for me, to give a summary of my email, slap together every cliche #1 radio single into something spoon fed to my ears, or anything like that. I think it...

He's a knowledgeable person who explains things well. However, I think he comes off as a shill to some people. I've read a few comments on Facebook of people being distrustful of his oil information because it comes off as an on-going Mobil 1 ad campaign. I can see their point. There are...

The only thing making me sick right now is the fact that you included Project Farm among "oil experts." That's some ebola level sickness. Don't ever do that again. But yes, I am annoyed by the AI-generated content as well. I'm also sick of how blindly people take it as gospel.

In my MIL's Buick, which was burning a 1 quart every 1,500 miles beforehand, the consumption did increase with the first change to about a quart low at 1,000 miles. By the 3rd change, it had slowed to 1 quart in 5,000 miles. The likely reason for this is cleaning of the rings. There's a...

As much as I abhor the idea of using oil supplements... Merciful Father, I come to you with a humble and repentant heart. I acknowledge that I am about to fall short of your expectations of me. I confess my sin to you and ask for your forgiveness. Please cleanse me of this most unrighteous...

That KV100 seems bogus. Have them rerun it with fresh calibration. Blackstone is notorious for getting the KV100 wrong. In order for that KV100 to be correct, it would have to be poor quality, low viscosity base oil and a 50 SSI VII which is not how Amsoil formulates. I've seen that oil in...

More susceptible.

The hotter the oil, the susceptible it is to foam. Thus, D892 is conducted at 93.5°C. I like such as this though.

I've flown through some severe weather, but I can't say I recall anyone vomiting. (thank god) I have been a nervous wreck on a plane to the point of wanting to vomit though. I was 18 on my way to basic training and first time I ever flew.

One of my favorite comedy skits is George Carlin's spiel on airline security and announcements. Carlin can be vulgar are times so be forewarned.

Mobil 1 has consistently used it. It's also speculated that a few brands have used it for ULV transmission fluid. Like mentioned though, this won't apply for the coming months.

There shouldn't have been a change in throttle opening, only a change in injector pulse. The power output should've been the same with fuel management just commanding +1.6% more fuel.

Blame the autism.

Ethanol has less energy when only looking at the fuel alone. However, we don't burn fuel alone. It's an air/fuel mixture by mass. Thus, you have to consider stoichiometry. When factored for stoich AFR, ethanol produces more energy than gasoline. Gasoline = 20,012 BTU/lb ÷ 14.7 AFR = 1,361...

The difference in fuel economy isn't very much between E0, E10, and E15. E10 gets -3.25% worse fuel economy than E0. E15 gets -4.85% worse fuel economy than E0. E85 gets -29.9% worse fuel economy than E0. Let's take a theoretical truck getting 20.00 mpg at steady highway cruise. To obtain...
