Good afternoon everyone...it has been years since I have been on the board with an actual posting to discuss. So, based on all of the beaten-down dead horse discussions of thick vs. thin, may I present my current experiment if you will. I am currently trying a 0w-20 year-round oil viscosity...

I am posting this as I think news like this is important, given the historical significance of the structure. Tragic day in Paris...

Question for you racers and oil gurus out there: Have any of you heard of or used any of VP's line of lubricants? On a whim (and getting a bug up my behind to try something different again), I purchased a case of their 10w30 Synthetic racing blend, and currently it resides in the crankcase of...

Well, it has been quite a long time for me posting on this board, as I have been mostly reading about the latest and greatest things, combos, and such...so in that vein, and without further ado...I pose these questions: 1) After going nuts trying to keep all of them straight...who exactly owns...

Been a long time since I've posted on the board, went back into the workforce 11 years ago, and pretty much have been running a little bit of everything in that time from Amsoil to Bizol to Brad Penn to Schaeffer's to Lubrication Engineers..and having been catching up on some light reading...

And lastly, another question posed to the oil gurus here in recent days. I realize that emmision systems these days are very sensitive to high zinc oils. However, how much real harm can come to the cat and sensors if the car doesn't use any oil (visible on dipstick) between OCI's? I ask this be...

Ok next question. Anyone directly compare these two?

Hello there all! It has been YEARS since I've posted or asked questions on the board, and I have my job and family to thank for that, so this question is strictly a professional or personal opinion response type question. I have once again been bitten by the oil switcharoo bug and was...

Poll time. Based on the thread about that 510 engine using SAE 30 or SAE 40 weight oils, how many here would be willing to use it in a moderate climate, or are currently using it? Based on recent findings of information, I'm almost willing to find a SAE 20 to use over the winter, and go to a...

Ok, before everybody starts flaming me for bringing this so called "magical elixir" of lubricant for life up once again, I'm bringing this up strictly from the point that has anybody been able to actually get any hard data on this stuff as of yet, instead of the usual, "It's been in my crankcase...

I figured your appreciate hearing this from me, Mr. I change everything at 1/2 the time that I should oil guy. I just recently did the OC on my Pilot, in which I left on the EaO oil filter. That is the first time that I've EVER left an oil filter on longer than the 6500 miles that my OLM has...

OK all you ATV riders out there, how many of you use a full fledged racing fuel in your rides, and do you use this particular brand, if so, which fuel, and if not, what do you use and why? This is strictly for curiousity and conversation sake. I'm not looking for direct comparisons or...

Been wondering this question for a while now. Is there a theoretical limit in RPM's as to when it is more beneficial to use a dry sump system instead of a wet sump system in lubrication of the engine in the most efficient and safest way possible? IIRC, don't some Porsche vehicles use a dry...

Was curious if anybody used this particular brand of oil. It is a Swiss origin and makes my Maxima look reasonable, so of course it begs the question: is it any good, is it built better/as good/worse, and do we like it 'round here? No, I don't plan on running it in my cars, but was curious if...

While we've got spark plugs on the brain over here, any body every try these on anything. They look interesting, and a design that might actually do some benefit, but wanted to ask someone with more plug design experience than myself. http://www.extremespark.com/

Any users, opinions, comments, questions, on this one. Found this nebbing on ebay, pulled up the site, and looks good, but we all know how that goes on website appearance and wording.

Doing my usual surfing last night and came across this particular brand of oil. It states that it comes with some sort of rejuvenating abilities. I was wondering about this property. Yes I know, don't say the "S" word, just constructive comments, complaints, or other please...

We are all the time discussing here how good oils are and asking the peverbial question over and over again which oil is the best, or runs the best, or produces the best UOA's, but how about the OTHER end of the spectrum? What are the oils that, even with today's SM rating and GF-4 approvals...

I figured what the heck, start this topic. Any one here a true Indy car buff that really enjoys the technical specs, facts, figures, engines, and such on the IRL chassis? I try to keep abreast of the engine changes throughout the years ans was wondering if anyone else was just as crazy about it...

At long last, here are the details of this boutique oil that I have been talking so much about in posts before: Fe - 4 Cr - Ni - Al - 3 Pb - 6 Cu - Sn - 25 Ag - Ti - 3 Si - 9 B - Na - 149 K - 11 Mo - 1170 P - 2882 Zn - 3545 Ca - 1129 Ba - Mg - 1170 Sb - 220 V - VIS @ 40C - 46.0 VIS @...
