I'm getting ready to do my annual oil change on three Chevy Silverados which average approximately 3-4K miles each on average freeway and surface street driving here in Los Angeles. I've been using Bosch Premium oil filters and GC with great used oil analysis reports. I recently purchased Bosch...

I've had a EaA123 for about 4 years now. I plan on changing it this winter after my current PureOne A/F has 20K on it. The filter will be about 5 years old by then. I emailed Amsoil's tech support asking the shelf life of these filters and received a very vague answer from Amsoil... "We do...

This UOA was the unusual combination of 4 QTS of RLI's 10W30HD and 2 QTS RLI's 0W30 PCMO motor oils. These oils where left over from previous Renewable Lubricant oil purchases. Both Renewable and TD did not recommend these oils to be combined for HDEO purposes but blessed their compatibility to...

I was careless the other day in my pantry (where I store my oil and filters) when I was putting together some items for a Sunday picnic when I knocked a NAPA Gold filter still in its box from a shelf three feet from the floor. It made a horrible noise when it hit the the floor. I immediately...

Here's another RLI BioSyn VOA addition to the BITOG data base. This 0W30 is both lite on viscosity and weaker than most SM additive packages today. Renewable's PDS on this product claims a cSt viscosity of 11.3 at 100C. Anyway, I plan on sending a copy of this analysis to RLI for their...

This oil change interval was ten months consisting of mostly light cross country travel and weekend driving, both contributing to the 4,749 miles. The Castrol GC 0w30 (green) had a dose of 6oz. of VSOT and 1oz. LC20 (every 1K miles) with FP60 at every fill up and Chevron Techron Fuel Treatment...

Has anyone tried using Autotap's scanning/diagnostic software on the new Intel based Apple MacBook notebook computers? This would require emulation software such as Bootcamp from Apple or Codeweaver's Cross Over Mac. Thanks in Advance. Bowser

This is my first oil analysis with this vehicle I've owned for 2yrs. It is driven normally twice weekly (5-25 miles) in So Cal. This my second batch of using both 0w-30 GC green and gold together with a Amsoil EaO64 filter along with the installation of a new Amsoil EaA121 Nano Air Filter last...

I discovered a gallon of unused Prestone Dex-cool that I had mixed with distilled water in my garage. It's about 2 years old and stored in my garage. Is this mix still good? I mixed it in the original container and it's been sealed tight. Bowser

It was asked on another thread... The Science Channel will repeat "How It's Made" Episode 41 showing the 10 minute segment on the assembly of a Fram oil filter on Sunday April 30th. Set your Tivo's and VCR's. And check your local broadcast times. Bowser

The Mobil 1 M1-206 or the Napa Gold 1522? It's bolled down to these two filters for my next oil change. Money is not an issue. The plan is to use the thicker German Castol (Gold) 0w30 synthetic in my 2001 5.3 Silverado here in So. Cal. Then follow up with a UOA in 4-5k miles. With 29k miles...

My first post! I plan on doing an oil change in a 2001 Silverado 5.3 with 29K miles (quiet, no CSK). A local chevy dealer has been changing the oil since day one. I've been using M1 Truck and Suv (5w40) in my 90' Silverado with three quarts setting on my shelf unused. I'm planning to purchase...
