More data showing that (in certain situations) running oil for an extended duration is just fine. Some additional information: Car is never short tripped - generally I drive it for an hour on weekends so it gets plenty warm. OEM oil filter (it is reprehensible to run anything but on this...

Hey all - I just bought some Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W20 from Amazon, and noticed a bit of a discrepancy. On Amazon'z site, the picture of the bottle shows it meets WSS-M2C945-B1, however the two 5QT bottles I received have the older WSS-M2C945-A specification. To further complicate things, the...

Bought myself a new Mustang over the weekend; first V8...figured I'd better get in while they still exist. This has the Gen 3 (2018+) Coyote 5.0 engine which has no shortage of ticks/rattle reports, which I don't doubt are somewhat real, but question how overblown it is (they sell a *lot* of...

Looks like I may have a (hopefully slightly) overfill situation on my '13 Civic Si (K24z7 engine). I can't find documentation on the dipstick readings, but if the L/H marks represent 1 qt, it looks like it's about half a qt full. I imagine that's immaterial and there's tolerence built into the...

This is the first time I've done a UOA on the car. Seemed to check out pretty well; wondering if Blackstone's guidance on extended OCI is rather conservative. Castrol Edge EP 10W30.

Hey all - I'm pretty much already set on "no need to change it" but interested in everyone's opinion. Yes oil is relatively inexpensive and not a big deal to change it, but if (and big if) there's no benefit at all, why bother? Car's situation: Only driven on weekends/garaged in somewhat...

Yep, another one of those threads. I've done a good bit of searching but haven't found anything definitive or quite the same as my scenario. My S2000 sees about 1500 miles a year, most of which is from a 20 mile run each weekend. I never drive it less than 20 miles, hence it should be getting...

Hi all, I know this topic has been covered here and there on this forum before, but I'm hoping it's OK to post a vehicle and situation specific question . I have a Honda S2000 (AP1) that is driven pretty much only on weekends, and sees about ~1500 miles per year. Due to the low miles and advent...

I hate to create one of these threads, but I did search and there's not much info regarding the 2012+ Civic Si . I just traded my GTI in over the weekend, since I was missing..having some sort of reliability. Anyway, spent some time searching and there's quite a bit of discussion regarding 0W20...

Would any of you happen to know if Honda specifies a shelf life for their MTF (2) fluid? I have a couple of unopened quarts laying around and I'm wondering how long I can safely store them. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Would any of you happen to know a viable alternative to Honda's super hi-temp urea grease? My clutch pedal has recently started making a nasty squeaking noise, which looks to be a common problem on S2000s. The solution (hopefully) is to lubricate the slave cylinder rod tip. The Honda...

Hi all, Would any of you happen to know if the Nissan and Honda antifreezes are pretty much the same? I am betting the formula is near identical, or it might even be coming from the same manufacturing facility. Can anyone validate this? I am having trouble finding any concrete information...
