I have a kymco 50cc and the final drive uses 90 sae gear oil. I've got a bottle of 80w-90 Im using.

I remember my father's old pickup rolled back to 0 when he hit 100k. He sold it with over 200k on the clock but the odometer read significantly less. He was honest about it, it was pretty obvious that old pickup had a long hard life lol

I've had to use a torque multiplier to torque fasteners down to 1000 plus ft-lbs. It was a manual version with a very long handle. It's for applying serious amounts of torque that you wouldn't otherwise physically be able to do.

My first job...in high school was at a carwash/lube changing joint. I worked at the car wash area.... unfortunately. However, one time a car came in for their first oil change. It had something like 50k on the clock. What was left was literally black, jello, sludge stuff. They flushed it a few...

I was thinking this too. I have the same transmission in the same vehicle and I've had a little experience in this department. Considering this picture....if this is the 3.5l Ecoboost....I'd take a look at the vacuum pump. The seals are known to fail all the time on this thing. It's best to get...

I have a 2010, pretty sure its the same transmission. Drain and fill was really easy. I pulled the drain plug, added a new aluminum crush washer, torqued to spec and added the appropriate amount of fluid.

I run these in a civic and versa, Im a fan of 3k-5k oil changes though. Work fine for me.

2010 Civic Very slow power steering leak from the rack from what I can tell. Ive added fluid for 6 years or so instead of installing a new rack. Tpms light has been on for a few years due to a dead battery, I just check the pressure every weekend and ignore the light.

Probably a dead battery in the sensor. Ive had a tpms light on in my civic for 3 plus years. I check tire pressure, oil, etc weekly and dont worry about the idiot light on the dash.

Yes

I did put in castrol edge 5w-30 after that change. I got a decent deal on it a while back.

Not sure how to post correctly, I attached it. Way better! There was some slight fuel dilution which leads me to a question. Is TR better than or worse than my previous They did give me the next report on the house. Thank you everyone, without your guidance I may have ended up doing something...

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Ben at blackstone. Yall were right! They switched the samples accidently. They will be running my sample today and getting me the correct results today. I will post it here when I get it. Sooooooooooo relieved!

Ty for posting this, I was looking for this.

This makes me feel alot better. Im eager to find out what they tell me over the phone.

Just checked the piping on the low pressure side of the turbos, the air box and filter. Found no smoking gun. As a test i disconnected the piping right after the air box and map sensor, thereby introducing a large leak. I saw no pending codes on the pcm, is that normal?

That is very odd with the kirkland add pack. All those additives seem very high. That last oil change was pennzoil ultra platinum btw.

Im sure it would pop codes for low boost or something similar. I will def be looking at the intake this weekend though. Im interested in what blackstone has to say when I call tommorow.

Nope

This thing is a grocery getter. No offroading or towing. Nothing added to the oil. Perhaps the permatex rtv for the vaccum pump gasket added some chemicals? Ill check the intake filter, but I check my vehicles every week, I'm ridiculous. Hell look at my oci's. If there was a leak in the boost...
