I'm working on, but this bending the laws of physics is hard. It was hard enough bending them to keep my engine this clean.
It's all relative people, some say it's not that great, but for a 9-5 it's awesome.
Looks like a big difference between Raven's and Brian's engines. I am glad I am a Mobil 1 user now
I wouldn't have expected varnish to appear around the cam gear area (block and cam cover). Nevertheless its still an excellent comparison to the others posted!quote:

Actually only the last two changes have been 5w40, before that it was M1 5w30. It looks dirtier than it is, the oil is about used up, completely black now. Also everything was covered with a nice film of oil as I had to warm it up to get the valve cover off. Lastly, I told you this thing raped oil, I can show you some bad ones if you want.
If the engine cleanliness is such a high priority for you, why woudn't you try Redline?quote:

It will surely keep your engine clean (possibly the cleanest than any other oil).
Mobil 1 is easier to get especially when I am traveling.
*nods* it's mostly a matter of availability
I could see availability being an issue if you burn/vaporize a quart of oil in one tank of fuel.
Otherwise, I look at the dipstick and top it off some Saturday or Sunday afternoon at home.
The only time I feel the need to take a quart with me is if I'm planning a 2K+ mile trip where I'm pretty sure I'll burn a quart in the 187K mile Geo Prizm.
If you are using a quart every 500 miles, I sure hope you are using the cheapest oil you can find. I suspect you are using ANY oil you can find at that rate.

Remember, Brian only got this car in November and has been frantically cleaning ever since. As a reminder, that enigne's been arx'd (twice) Neutra'd, LC'd, chemtool'd, redlined.quote:

I may get my priest to come bless it and see it that helps.
You may need that priest to bless the previous owners (in this type of fashion -->
) lol.
