I'm not travelling yet (post surgery) and I'm not sure I'll be ready to by the time of the open house. I've told work that it won't be until after the year has passed and my medication has been reduced, so I'm trying to stick to that policy across the board.
I took the wrong week off of work to make it to the open house. Maybe ill come that week
Sounds like we need to visit him...
I could pick you up from O’hare or Midway if you fly in
Been running HPL Euro 5W40 (a few different versions) almost all year in my Sportwagen including several days of "full sending" in the mountains as well as multiple drag events and will do a few track days by end of year. ~5K OCIs. Ran the EC for ~2K miles before with the previous Liquimoly Molygen before starting to use it.
Sitting in O'Hare between flights on way to AK as I type. Hoping to make the open house but not sure quite yet if it's going to happen.I could pick you up from O’hare or Midway if you fly in
I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to make it either, but I’m hoping I can!
I’ve never actually been in the airport, I’ve only ever picked 2 people up from it lol
I need this to coincide with a work trip so working on that part this month.
We might be about to get very very busy at work, so I may be working Friday nights (10 hours of pure overtime baby!) again… we set a sales record last week and we’re already at a 5-6 month lead time!
As my wife would tell me "Meow". haha Joking.
Sunday I changed the Crown Vics oil, drained out the 5 qts of Valvoline PBE and 1 qt HPL EC and it came out almost a very deep chocolate and mahogany red. I’ve never seen the oil look that way on any of the previous changes. Filled it back up with 6qts of HP 15w40 CK4 and a fram filter gona sample it at 5k miles to see how she’s doin but I imagine it’ll be fine with such a stout add pack
435i, HPL Euro 5w30, 10k miles / 1 year.

Currently have EC in my 2004 BMW 325i with 194k, about 1k miles into it since adding the EC. Oil is currently 5w40 Castrol Euro, but will be changed for HPL 0w40 supercar after 5k on this combo with a couple filter changes.
Planning to do basically the same thing in my 1993 Nissan 240sx. Engine is unknown mileage, but probably 150k+. It’s not quite put together.

I have 13 quarts of HPL PCMO 5W-30 on hand along with 12 quarts of Premium Plus 5W-30 (Thank you, Dave). I also have a jug of M1 EP 5W-30 on the shelf and 3-quarts of M1 0W-30 ESP.
The plan at this time is to use the M1 first, so the next change will be the M1 EP 5W-30 followed by the ESP + a quart of the HPL Engine Cleaner, and then transition to the HPL oils. It'll be about a year before the switch to straight HPL is made.

If you were wanting to get rid of the M1 and go straight to HPL so it can be sooner, I will take the M1 off your hands!
I'm experimenting with it in the high mileage oil burning 2AZ in Project xB
1qt of HPL EC 30 + 3.5qt of Maxlife 5w30 + a long F1 filter
2700 miles in, it needed 1qt of oil
That's an improvement over the past
I'll run it till 3k, then do another change
I'll probably do another OCI with 1qt of EC 30, but this time with Mobil FS 0w40
It'd be nice to get the oil consumption to 1qt/3000~ miles
Although @ 287,500 miles, I've had a few people tell me to count my blessings it's that good
I also plan on running 1qt of EC 30 in my DD Camry after I do the valve cover gaskets
Can't wait to see what a 193k 3MZ top end looks like
