Pontiac Grand Prix 3.0 4010 Mile Auto-rx Cleaning Phase

[darkdan]

First off, Frank, if you see this I already know you're going to say, "Follow the directions."

It's not my car. I'm a Ford guy. This is my best friend's grand prix and I have no control over when he has time to hang out and change his oil. =)

I believe it has 104k miles on it now. Or maybe Auto-rx was installed at 104k and it now has 108k. It's 10x577, but I don't remember the whole thing. LOL.

Pennzoil (I believe) conventional 5w30 was used. Fram (I said don't buy the Fram, but they didn't have the right ST) filter was used.

Lab was Butler.

Results very similar to my crown vic's 3300 mile cleaning phase UOA. Wear isn't out of whack, high potassium.

How old is the grand prix becuase well I can't remember a 3 liter beign in it. My mom had one back in 96 that had a 3.1 and not sure if they even can be had with those any more.

I don't know. Roughly 97 to 00 I think.

Okay....it's a 3.1L V6. Doesn't matter anyways, it's just a GM.
