I use it on multiple gasoline econoboxes and in a small commercial gasoline van. All of them get the cheapest 15W-40 i can find from any reputable brand. Since they come overloaded with additives, i run extended OCIs on them.

Yeah, other options like Castrol or Valvoline are like $6 a quart, you could basically drain and refill every OCI and still save money. I am doing a drain and refill every OCI just for the heck of it. Takes 3 quarts in a Jatco CVT7.

Since its a 2004 id say go for the cheapest one. Personally im using Castrol Transmax CVT in a Jatco specced for NS3 and it works great. Just my opinion, i wouldnt use Valvoline, the spec sheets shows its thinner than NS3 while the Castrol is thicker. NS2 used to be around 7.2cst, NS3 seems to...

Currently use a 10+ year old bottle of Hoppes Elite Performance gun oil and Chevron 10W-30 conventional. Still use both but i prefer the engine oil. Hoppes seems "drier" after being stored a couple days.

No scientific data but ive come to the conclusion that engine oil is better for the sole fact that it does not dry out in a couple days. I apply a thin film and it will stay there for at least a couple weeks or a month or two.

Edit. Wrong post.

Took me 3 quarts on this CVT. I can do a how to guide but without the pictures since i dont have any aside from the ones posted above. Figured a way to remove the cap, all those Youtube videos proved worthless to me. The easiest way is to grab a flat head screwdriver, insert it through the hole...

Did a drain & refill just because i felt the transmission wasnt as smooth as it should. Brand new car with a little over 8K miles only. Dont know what ATF should smell like but it didnt smell burnt, color was a very dark green when in a cup and in the paper towel it still looked very very...

Ive thought about using engine oil as gun oil since gun oil seems to evaporate/dry too fast. Ive been using some very old Hoppes Elite Performance oil that i had laying around. Does engine oil attract more dust/dirt/carbon to surfaces or its the same as gun oil?

Already gone through 150 rounds with no failures so far.

Wow, i just got a couple hundred 9mm for my new pistol but it was almost double that.

Just got a couple hundreds of 9MM.

I was kidding about hoarding ammo, regarding the slide wear, after watching multiple videos and pictures, ive realized that its normal for APX Carry to show wear in that area. Initially i was worried because most pictures you find in Google are Glocks and Glocks dont wear on the slide feeding ramp.

Hoarding ammo as we speak.

Now that i think of it, i believe that the peeled paint comes from the slide scraping with the cocking lever.
