both of mine never really used any oil. the 01 was run w/ACD for most its time w/me and was never a problem.
it might just need some time to "clean up" as it looks like it had a lot of sit time at just over 5K a yr
Aquapel, Sil-blades wipers and the Rain-X washer fluid seem to be the best combo for me. Rain-x just doesn't last had to keep on top of it.
have heard good things about the Griot's Glass Sealant but have yet to try it.
here is what I can tell you about the 4.3
get a non balanced block, 91 down 96+ heads
Comp cams makes a few cams for this block
Edelbrock 2114 intake
now depending on cam and carb you could see as much as 300hp at the crank, NA
have seen it done w/TBI. I don't think it too far a stretch to...
I'm sure the formulations have changed in the last 4 yrs. that was a good read though, thanks. I was running XL and stepped down to the OE sometime in late 18. the 2 Honda's are going by OLM and average 6-7K w/lots of head room on XL so I stepped down and still have a reasonable amount of...
I miss the 01 Blazer and the RAV those would do 8K or better and not bat an eyelash.
the new engines beat the snot out of the oil now.
as to the 0/20 I don't believe so but as a matter of convenience for 3 vehicles a 20 grade is a 20 grade as far as I'm concerned. it also states that I "can" use...
for the record its a NA 2.4 and spends 70% or better of its time at 60+ MPH. problem is terrain
I get the oil by the gallon 2 or 3 cases at a time, that makes it $5 qt to my door.
running it in 2 Hondas and the KIA
the other KIA is done by work and gets whatever the flavor of the month is when...
no
wouldn't trade my Silblades for anything. best wipers hand down IMO. set on my 01 I sold were 5. to the best of my knowledge they're still on the truck.
set on the Sportage are 3yrs old.
can barely get 7K out of a 2.4l NA 14 CRV. once you get to 0 it drops like a rock. 350 mi to go from 5% to 0 another 200 and change it was -265, go figure. will see how good/bad/ indifferent it is when I get the report back. last one had 2.5 TBN remaining w/6.3K on it.
think I ran AMS OE or XL...
