    Using Stihl HP Ultra 2 stroke oil as an Ester additive

    First let me preface this by saying I am not currently adding this oil to my crank case nor do I recommend blending your own oil... But with that said, I cannot even count how many times I have seen people blabbering on this forum about "esters" and cleaning your engine with esters. So I wanted...

    Used Fram Xtended Guard (Ultra) - over a decade old!!!

    I only ran this for 3,000 miles. I was concerned how such an old oil filter would hold up. I bought it as old stock, it had been on the shelf unused for all these years. Well these Fram Ultras are built like tanks. Over a decade old and ZERO issues. Good rubber gasket, and nice and flexible...

    Rislone Engine Treatment - Smells like Strong Chemicals

    I know this is beyond un-scientific... but I was smelling my Mobil 1 EP, Pennzoil Platinum, and Redline HP to see what the fuss was about as far as esters smelling fruity... I may be biased but Redline in ways smelt quite similar to Mobil 1 EP but definitely had much fruiter background notes...

    Check out my magnets on my oil filter

    Ready for people to check out my magnet setup. Let me know what you think about the practicality of this helping anything... My theory is that they will catch micro particles under 20um that the oil filter will not catch. Yes my engine block is aluminum and pistons aluminum obviously... so not...

    Question About Pennzoil GTL based Motor Oils

    Regarding Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra Platinum Does Pennzoil use GTL base and crude derived base mixed together, or is the majority of the motor oil made from GTL base stocks? I am aware there is going to be additives and viscosity modifiers in the oil. The reason I ask is I often read...

    Fram Ultra… did they switch back to wire screen backed media or did I buy old stock? XG4386

    I received some frams from rock auto today… I’m pretty sure the date code is for 2022… There’s wire backing on it just like the OG ultras I’m super excited but also confused. Am I reading the date code incorrectly? I tried to buy more than two… But they said they were running low on stock and...

    TGMO Conventional 5w30 has much lower Moly than the Synthetic Stuff.. why?

    So I have made an observation. TGMO 0W-20 with its 700+ppm Moly content I have a 2019 Toyota Corolla (2ZR-FE Engine), spec'd for 0W-20. I have just read the non US version of my owners manual and found out all other countries (Same 2ZR-FE Engine!!) say you can use 0W-20, 5W-30, etc.. (i think...
