OK...
I was having a hard time applying Seafoam to my car. The brake booster vaccum hose was not a good choice. I also felt that using my PCV valve vaccum hose will harm the PCV valve itself. I'm not a mechanic, so in this situation I was not comfortable. So I added to the fuel(advise from others).
I wanted to decarbon my combustion chamber. And in other fill ups I added those adds just to make sure..
Now to think of it, I don't know if I did more harm to my engine than good.
So now this got me thinking. I feel really bad about adding these adds. And also I realized I have made a bad decision with the weight of the oil. Eventho Amsoil AMO 10w40 synth. has a good pour point. I may even be to heavy for the car.
I worried of blow-by. Can the analysis tell me this? I want to avoid oil comsumption(blow-by).
I'm stuck between Extended Life 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLF) and 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL). Based on prformance on what they can do, I would have to used them both together. But My vehicle has 156,000km, and I feel I should start using (XLF) but (ASL) has things that I like about it..
I also don't want to mix both products, cause I feel, I'm taking away the perfomance of the (XLF).
10W40 AMO in Canadian winter months is a bad choise, I just realized that, so I need what a 5W30?
Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil ?
Extended Life 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLF) ?100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL)?
