Maybe, but some of the @High Performance Lubricants product could get to that point. Im not against payingif its good oil, fits a specific need like high tbn or hths. If its 75$, does 10k on a TGDi engine, doesn't shear out of weight, and could possibly give me margin to go another 5k thats not too bad.
Every oil has a place and a price point.
I would not use the word snake oil as that is quite harsh. However I can't imagine spending over triple the cost of something that does just as good.
Delvac is FF in the DMax …
Help me understand just what is the "how to" we are looking at? All I saw was the cab being lifted off.
Where's this price at?
Hes a good dude. Hell of a mechanic. Ive met him personally. His shop is 100% legit. Can pretty much build anything....
Klotz is a great oil. Same type of company as HPL. Caters to race cart guys, crazy power diesels, and guys running 2 stroke oil. I used to run thier oil in my old 2 stroke 2.5 Diamond Marine 300 Merc outboard that spun 9k rpms. Really popular in the Indian motorcycle crowd. Good company.
Its not snake oil. Klotz a good company. Look them up....
That's good to know if you are a local for sure.
I do like how he builds engines, you would never know how local shops do it unless they let you witness the entire process. At least with Dave you can watch his videos and see how they do it. Lot’s of people claim to be engineers builders but we all know there are different levels of competence and you cannot just take someone’s word. Another factor is finding a shop that is doing well so they do not go under and take your money with them. I have known people who lost out big time by paying for work and then the business closes.
It was Walmart. Not sure if the sale is still going or not. I normally don't shop there unless I'm desperate or find out about a good sale. Best time to go is right when it opens, know what you want and get in and out quickly.Where's this price at?
Better is subjective. He's the best diesel engine builder Ive seen. I mean they'll let you watch and explain everything they are doing. Big $$$ though
I have both machine shops and mechanics I'm able to trust in both powersports and 4 wheeled vehicles. My personal opinion is if you have to watch or concerned in any way then it's not the right shop for you. I have longstanding relationships with shops and dealerships I have done business with for decades.
Foothill Ranch, Beaumont, La Habra, Highland etc etc. Irvine CA is the one I witnessed a car jacking after a retail theft.
In my occupation I have the same thing and everyone makes mistakes and nobody is perfect. When it is for my employer, we can handle some minor, unexpected expenditures. When it is my money, if I am paying for an engine rebuild, if it is not done right and I have to pay someone else to fix it, that is a cost that I cannot afford. Dave has had engines in there like that where people paid big money and the engine failed and they ended up paying twice for a job that was not done right.
