So I used the SF MTL-P in my old Subaru. Guess what it a little thin. Yet even in this 90F+ heat I'm impressed. As we all know SF MTL-P is a off application use for a Subaru. Still this thinner fluid, can quiet and reduces vibration this transmission in 90F+ heat. The pluses of going...

Ok, you win. I just ordered 3 treatments auto-rx. I'm only going run it once a year in the late spring. Auto-rx does work better in warm temps, plus I only need full synict for the cold weather. Data in the Auto-Rx Patent did most of the selling. Still I dont like poring anything in my motor...

How is tracter suply store for oil? Let the walmart bashing begain.

Pablo Thankyou. I just have a question who wrote that piece? Just so you I think I'm about to go the ARX route.

Pablo, What would you personaly use for this job?

The main diffence in a 0w-20 and 5w-20 is the extream pour point. Now at 40c some 5w-20 are thinner then a 0w-20. But a 0w-20 gells or thickens later then 5w-20. I really noted the diffence last 2 winters in my 2001 Ford Focus. With 0w-20 and frezzing temps the car only "chugged" or cold...

Cold cranking is the only time it will matter. I started seeing the diffence when temps went bellow 30

Winston, If you supported your points your agument would better. When invoking the Auto-Rx patent offer a link like http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?u=%2Fnetahtml%2Fsrchnum.htm&Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&r=1&l=50&f=G&d=PALL&s1=6544349.PN.&OS=PN/6544349&RS=PN/6544349 The Uspto.gov...

Rick20: I do recall hearing some metal one metal from the first few pulls of the Briggs. I don't see how "dirty ring packs" come into play. I get I still get EPA rated MPG with nearly 190K and ten years on the road. I just want to take some help cleaning the sluge out of oil pan. I still...

Those that took chem lab in most collages know that acetone is great for rinsing. Rinsing with acetone will displace water. And since it a excellent solvent take care of all residue. Oh acetone dries really quickly. Acetone has lots of uses and it is CHEAP. Your local ACE or hardware store...

So, I'm not a fan of flushes. I still think using HDEO, is a slower better option. Many of you are fans of Auto-RX and talk like it the only option. So I have a 96 legacy with the 2.2 EJ22E motor with 188k. Now I got this car used but don't know its history, all I know is looks in better shape...

WileyE, First of SF MTL-P is dual rated GL4 GL5, and is a full synthetic. Stiff or hard shifting commonly is caused by the oil being to slippery, the film is to thick, or thickening do to cold. But more importantly, 80w-90 weight mineral oil normally thicker then a 75w-90. Also mineral oil...

Chuck, I don't like the idea of engine flushes. Products like Auto-RX work way to fast, besides most oil additives scare me. I just have a 2.2L H4(ej22e) in my Subaru with nearly 200k on it. This motor runs great and uses little to no oil. I got this car used I want to clean some of the old...

Type III lubes are not bad. We just keep thinking that they as fake synthetics . I just don't like that Amsoil lack 0w-xx tech in API SM oils. Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 is only SL rated. Off hand I don't know the cSt data at 100c for MC 5w-20 vs Amsoil XL 5w-20. MC is good oil, but I bet...

Correct Gary. It doesn't increase the max psi, you just move it farther back in the RPM range. I was trying to point out that any with fluids, thinner pumps and moves easier. Also since you need less force to move this fluid your PSI readings will go down but the flow should remain be the...
