I've used it before and and can't really complain, although I was never satisfied with the oil pressure the 5W30 grade gave and I found the oil was coking on the dipstick where it threads between the exhaust manifold, this with a winter front installed. The winter front was probably the root...

Hello all: I've been using the XD-3 in my vhicle (5.3L GM)for the past few changes, but had to substitute Duron XL for the last change. Now it's time for another change. I went out and bought 6 L of ESSO Extra 5W30, suitable far gasoline engines, rated SM II. I was looking for ESSO Ultra but...

I never had any kind of luck using auto oil in my bike. Tried in my ZX9R, WR400F and CBR929RR. Clutch feel was total crap, mind you the clutch worked but was really useless as a performance clutch. The whole episode with auto oil really detracted from going fast and feeling cool. I believe...

What for? What's the point? 1 micron is so (by a long shot) small that it doesn't matter in a conventional internal combustion engine, even hydraulic systems don't require this.

Obersturmbannführer Odin: What exactly are you on about? Is there a point to your subject post? Or is it just a contorted account on the history of nitrile rubber manufacture, where we the zionists are supposed to pay extreme homage to you the squarehead. BTW that isn'a gonna happen.

I feel for your friend that's a real pain in the neck.

You could also use your dremel to weaken the nut and then just knock it off with a hammer and chisel. Have you tried welding a socket to it? I have no confidence in gimmicky E-Z out type affairs, they never seem to work when you have a heavy job to do. There are three types of wrenches the...

Who's financing the current war against "Terrorism" (Iraq, for Osama)?? Worth pondering, no?

I couldn't agree more!! WOT was part of the design when the thing was built. Like all machines they were designed to RUN.

Some really good choices so far... I really like the Constellation, any of the V bombers and the B-58 hustler. The F-86 ought to have it's own sentence it's so pretty so this is it. The DC-3 is a magnificent aircraft to watch fly too. Most of the modern aircraft are pretty but are designed...

Take extreme pride in using the cheapest API SL rated oil you can find!!

It's just a noise isn't it? Can you feel the vibration? If you can it's high energy and is something serious. If not just let it go. Is there any serious wear metals on analysis if you've done one?

approx. 5000km on the oil and filter. 154000km on the engine. Not much dust where I drive, every now and then I drive out to the oil patch but that's it. To clarify the actual oil pressure: Engine hunts between 40 and 60 psi, the swing was in excess of 15 psi. Occurs during steady engine...

What the heck is with that kind of change interval? Too much can happen that is application specific during that period. Like th eoriginating forum said "just enough to get through the warrenty period" I don't think OCI at a sensationally short time are warrrented but I'd need to see some...
