Just got the latest Costco flyer. I am assuming $9 off is for a two pack since that is how the PCMO is packaged.

Thanks to Dave @ HPL, he formulated a 5w-50 Hydro Transmission fluid, for use with the Tuff Torq transmissions I initially pinged Dave about it an he said no problem, he got busy an since it was end of season I was not too worried about it. I followed up not too long ago asking how it coming...

Here are some pictures of the internals of a 1ARFE toyota 2.7L with 95+K miles. Before I started maintaining it had 40K miles and the history showed dealer Oil changes every 5-7K, since I started maintaining it, it has has 1 HPL EC treatment, and running mostly RGT 5w-30 (cap calls for 0w-20)...

I just started an experiment with the sister vehicle (same year, similar mileage, same engine, same fleet and same maintenance) of the vehicle that I ran HPL 4.3L GDI silverado and got a bunch of carbon material in the filter after running HPL. So for this 2nd vehicle it had 190k miles, and...

I wonder if the new woolwax creep and crawl will perform like the NUOXODOL. They claim it is a wax that cures in a week and from their videos looks like it skins over. Much pricier than regular woolwax, but they claim one application will last many years? Any one try it yet?

Can some one help me cross, this filter, It is a Honda filter made by Toyo-Roki for Honda Marine applications the Honda Dealer wants $20 and thru seem to be hot or miss if the have any. I am struggling to cross reference it. Wondering if there is a Fram Ultra Equivalent or does anyone know a...

Are Sewing Machine and Air Tool Oil interchangeable and are there any AW in sewing machine or Air Tool Oil? Other than being a light viscosity what is so special about these fluids it? I have a bunch of Hydraulic fluid (ISO 32 I believe), can that by used instead?

I know wet clutches can be finicky and need a particular type of FM, The question I have for a Hydrostat System with a wet brake does it really matter if there is a FM or not, or is this something that need to be considered. I know people will say what does Owners manual say. But I am curious...

I have a K72 transaxle that came with hyguard LV(J20D) fluid in it, the manual states you can use Hyguard J20C as welk. The manufacturer Tuff Torque on their Oil selector site states units were shipped with j20D but states for replacement to use their own Tuff Torque Hydraulic fluid which is a...

Does anyone have experience using the GPD or UAC AC compressor kits from RA? They are approx the same price is one better than the other? I would normally use OEM but in this instance this is for a 14/year old vehicle. It leaks down enough that the compressor won't engage but does not...

Attached are a couple of pictures from an oil filler cap view of a Honda J series engine. HPL EC was used starting in June 2022 and ran with fresh Mobil 1 HM 10w-30 for 2500+ miles, oil and filter changed and a second run with Pennzoil 0w-40 + HPL EC is currently in the vehicle 2000 miles on...

I changed the fluid on this transmission as part of regular maintenance. After any trans fluid change I like to reset the TCM with using a bi-directional scanner. The process was a little different for this vehicle. It wanted the fluid temp to between 85-135F and wanted you to engage the...

Attached are images of a 5000 OCI using with HPL EC for the entire OCI, This was from a 1ARFE 2.7L toyota engine. No deposites but used oil has a reddish tint.

CYCLOHEXANONE seems to be the active ingredient in BG109 and from my limited understanding appears to be similar to acetone but heat activated If that is the case this should be a good varnish dissolver. I may try the BG109 after my HPL EC experiments to clean up any residual varnish and...

This Honda product seems to be prevalent all over SE Asia. Instructions say add contents to 50 liters of fuel. It also says distributed by Idemitsu and has "light aromatic Naptha", isnt that similar to what is in seafoam? Wonder why the chose that route instead of using PEA?

I am working on a 2014-2018 series Chevy LS engine (aluminum pan) for a broken timing chain tensioner which was alsostarting damage on the oil pump, but in order to complete the job I had to drop the oil pan and there to do the job. I am ready to assemble and Alldata DIY calls for RTV or...

Quite interesting that discussions of lower HT/HS always center around improved fuel economy, but never mention increased or equal longevity of engines or reduced wear compared to high HT/HS.🤔 Older video: https://360.lubrizol.com/2019/Impact-of-High-Temperature-High-Shear-HTHS-Viscosity
