Just picked up this little 2007 2 door hatchback with Toyota's 1.5 and auto trans. 109k miles on it. Zero smoke or blowby. Engine specs 5w30 down here. Same engine in my old scion and I always ran 10w40 all the way out to 230k. Being a little older and wiser. I would like to stick with a 5w30...

The VR1 has been returning excellent wear numbers, especially with the high rpm usage I see. But it also is not readily available for $2 a quart. Has anyone had any experience running them in a non wet clutch system?

This is a blend of 1qt synthetic VR1 20w50 and 2.75 qts of conventional VR1 20w50. Unit sees A LOT of high rpm use and this change saw quite a few 70 mile runs at over 8k rpm. Thoughts?

The transmission this is going in turns rotella to water within 800 miles or so and shifting gets clunky. The yamalube 15w50 synthetic lasts until 1500 miles or so, but it's expensive. Looking for something under 10 bucks a quart. in the 10w40 to 20w50 range.

Stand alone transmissions. Wet clutch Five speed manual. Zero material in filter screens. Two units. One running yamalube 15w50 synthetic. One running rotella 15w40. When draining either trans, oil comes out the wrong color. Greenish chocolate milk. Water intrusion is impossible on one unit...

I'm on my phone and can't find the oily analysis for each. Can anyone explain what the differences between the two are?

Average RPM 7500. Lowest used RPM, 4500. Total hours on motor are under 60. Just hit 2100 miles. The iron and aluminium content concerns me. Checked valves yesterday and they were all perfectly at the loose end of spec. Yamaha specs checking them at 600 miles. I checked them at 2k. Will check...

Same Yamaha triple. Sperate oils for engine and clutch. Any experience running these oils in bikes? Just curious if they hold up. Yamaha specs 1600 mile interval on dino oil.

Bike sees 99% street use as it is road legal. Need something 30-32 in an all terrain or mud grip. I currently have 14in beadlocks, so that limits me for tires. The unit sees 6000+ miles a year, so most UTV tires wouldn't cut it. Last time, I bought a set of 4x110 15x7 wheels and ran a 31x10.5...

No wet clutch. Just an engine that revs to 11.5k rpm and spends most of its life cruising around 6k. What do you use? Yamaha specs dino 10w40 at 1600 mile intervals.

Bought one last night and ready to be overly anal about fluids going into it. 10.5k red line. 3 cylinder triple. Engine oil: Api sg or higher. Jaso standard ma. Separate wet clutch oil: same requirement Diffs: gl-4 hypoid. Sae 80. I want to run all synthetics after break in.

Had to pull the evap to get to the heater core. Replaced lost oil. Vacuumed system down for an hour. Releases vacuum and changed drier. Pulled a second vacuum for an hour. Let it hold a vacuum for a few hours. Added 25 ounces of r134 with AC on high. It kicked pn at about 20 psi and I added...

I have an 03 xterra 4x4 with a winch bumper on it. It cuts down the amount of cooling area, but it's running fine. This thing sees lots of off pavement time, and the mechanical fan at low speed high load makes me nervous. The supercharged version of this vehicle had a twin core radiator that...

When I first got this rig, I tried the recced PYB 5w30 and found it sherred down and caused engine noise at less than 3k miles. 10W40 lasted a little longer and no noticeable engine tick at startup until 4k. Delo 15w40 lasted almost 4.5k miles. These motors are very hard on oil. A sub 3.5 qt...

Hate the tiny oil capacity and filter. Running 10lb heavier tires. Drive 40 miles to work, 25 of which is 70mph. First 15miles are 55ish. Engine has 135k on it and is clean as a whistle inside. I would love to hit 5k OCI on conventional. Here's the issue. PYB 5w30 gets noisy around 2600...

I've been running either 0w40 or a 50/50 blend of mobil1 0w40 and 15w50 in my zuke for the last 15k. 5k indicated oil changes...so 7000ish actual. Blended the two because the 15w50 was super cheap but a little too thick. I've liked the oil, and it has certainly cleaned out the sludge. When I...

Take a phenomenally reliable Honda 350cc air cooled single cylinder motor. Brand new, never fired. New clutch with heavy duty springs. New billet cam, hard welded rockers, and heavy duty valve springs. The motor was intended for offroad use, and originally came with a simple oil cooler. It...

I have three wix filter numbers I would like to cross reference to the largest possible fioter from a decent brand. Not opposed to Wix at all. Wix 33390 fuel filter Wix 51174 hydraulic Wix 51346 oil The reason for desiring an oversized filter, a poorly serviced tractor which has landed in my...

Guys, I've got a massey ferguson 1030, wish is actually a japanese toyasha tractor. Looking to perform a full service. Any advice on where to look? Or experience with them?

With this "low mileage" motor, Ive run a very short OCI of PYB because of an odd solvent smell in the bottom end. I then ran Mobil1 0w40 for 4k miles. My reason for changing, the oil went from like new to pitch black in the last 500 miles. Some will say that doesnt matter, Id say that 22$...
