Guys, Just picked up an 06 LR3 with 58K miles as a replacement for my 02 Disco II that was totaled. I was [censored], had my engine pulled and resealed in April when Analysis showed HG leak. My mechaninc said it should be GTG for another 150K. Plus it was long paid for. Some lady not paying...

Discovered the dreaded Head Gasket Leak when my resevoir was down. Got the oil changed and analyzed right away. Caught it way early and no wear. Previous sample was PP 5W40 Thoughts?

Attached is the report from my 1st rinse with Auto Rx. Doing the seal leak protocol and Wanted to rule out any headgasket leaks so sent the oil in for analysis. Looks like I'm OK on that front. Waiting on the Dyson Analysis to come in as well. Any thoughts? Was thinking of using this as my...

I am swapping ou tht u-joints in my Land Rover's front shaft. I have learned the tend to cook next to the Cat and are prone to failure, so am replacing with greasable ones. They have the needle fitting on one end. What would be a good grease to use in this application (that should be locally...

I have run Rotella T 15-40 in the warmer months in my 02 Land Rover Discovery. I use the 5W-40 synthetic in the winter. Is it ok to use the new formulation as I don't see it as SL rated? Thanks, John

Is this meant to be used constantly with every fill up or once an oil change like regular fuel injector cleaner?

Can someone tell me if the PP 5W-40 is a group III base? I am using it for my Auto-RX rinse phase and if it's group III it should be OK. I know most of them have changed but was unsure about the 5W-40. Using it in my 02 Land Rover. Thanks, John

Guys, We bought a new 05 Outback for my wife. It's been awhile since I've had a "new" car. At what initial mileage would you guys recommend a change of oil and filter? I used to do a change at 500, 1000, then 3,000. Probably going dino for the at least 3k then switch to synthetic. With the...

I looked at the SRF Fluid when I upgraded my pads/rotors last Fall. The shop where I bought my parts also sold the SRF Fluid. The said that I should not use the SRF Fluid in a non race application. The reason being the SRF is HIGHLY hydroscopic and will absorb any moisture, which will degrade...

Does anyone know what % Synthetic Mobil Drive Clean Blend is? I'm using it in my wifes 96 Outback. Subaru orgiinally said to not use synthetics, but has recently modified their position. It has 105k and am hesitant to go the full synthetic route. I thought this could be a good alernative. Does...
