Thanks for clearing that up. He'll be glad to hear the answer. I expect he will mix the ATF with bar & chain oil for some tackifier.

My neighbor had extra bottles of ATF Transmission fluid and he asked me if he could use them as chain oil in his chain saw. I said I could get an answer for him. What do you think?

No consumption, no top offs.

Thanks, I appreciate your opinions. I really didn't plan this out, I just got busy with work and travel, which made me late on my oil change, and since I had a couple kits I decided to do an analysis, and then it snowed and snowed again. The longer I delayed it, the more I wanted to see the...

This is just so disappointing...

Was a Pennzoil filter PZ42. Ford's scheduled OCI is 7500.

I put in a maintenance amount of Auto-RX. I've been buying it by the case, and sharing it with my friends, so there was plenty on the shelve at the time. I'll be putting on less miles this year, maybe 8k are in order. I really expected this engine with a 7 quart sump could easily do an annual...

The oil was changed a 3k, 8k, and 13k, and this one at 24k. The last one (sample) was done by a local Penziol lube place, and the receipt says: '5w20 PENNZOIL SEMI-SYNTHE PZ5W20' The first two were done by a Ford Dealer, using Motorcraft 5w20. I expected it to hold up better, and I'm still...

Thanks for your prompt responses. I forwarded this information back to her, and I believe her Father was going to help her drain it out with a small hose. The car is an Infinity which is less than a year old. I don't think she dove it very far. She was very concerned that she just cost herself...

Emergency question. A friend of mine was adding window washer fluid to her new car, and mistakenly poured it into the coolant reservoir. What is your take on this? What steps to fix, and how serious is this? I think the contents of the reservior canister needs to be drained, then flushed, and...

So I take it no product can disolve carbon because it is insoluable, but I also understand that whats in engine cylinders ins not pure carbon, and can be fractured and broken down.

It's interesting that you suggest Seafoam, because the discussion I'm having is about Seafoam. I don't use Seafoam, I ue Neutra mixed with Lube Control. I also run a maintance dose of Auto-RX. I'm driving down the road thinking not that I'm carbon free, but that my engine internals should be...

I guess any form in any part of the engine. I was told that carbon is insoluble and no product can reduce or eliminate carbon buildup. So I came here to find a challenge or confirmation to that claim.

What can dissolve carbon?

With a by pass filter you just add the Auto-RX and change the rolls as you have. That is a lot of miles, so if anything you could even change them sooner than 1k. Check them frequently to ensure they are hot which tells you oil is flowing through them. There is no reason for a full drain, just...

anyone have experience with this? Is it any good, or worth $15 a bottle.
