    Reformulated QSUD 5w30

    Regarding QSUD 5w30 VOA, I've always refer to the PQIA March 2013 test results. However, I noticed that PQIA had tested a newer QSUD (date purchased 12/28/2015). Compared with PQIA's last test of QSUD (date purchased 1/25/2013) the main differences seems to more moly in the newer formulation...

    ACN91 (Arizona, California, & Nevada 91 Octane)

    In my research for an ECU tuner for my car, I was reading up on the available off the shelf (OTS) tunes/maps. Interestingly, this is the first time I came across ACN91 (Arizona, California, & Nevada 91 Octane). Apparently, ACN91 is a lower quality fuel (for power) and thus the tunes/maps for...

    Hi everybody. I'm thinking of purchasing a Motive pressure brake bleeder (SKU#0101) and using it on my 02 Honda Accord V6 and 05 Honda CRV to flush the brake MC and lines.

    Ambient Outside Temperature (Hi Temps)

    How much does the ambient temperature (hi temperatures not the low temps) affect the temperature of the oil? Example, when the outside temperature is 70degF vs. 100degF, how much does that affect the temp of the oil when the car is "at operating temperature"? This comes to mind as most of us...

    Honda Brake Fluid vs. Non-Honda Brake Fluid

    Has anyone had problems with using/mixing honda brake fluid and non-honda brake fluid such as castrol's GTLMA brake fluid? The Acura Integras I had owned (years 1990 and 1994 integras) the brake master cylinders went out relatively quickly (around 60K miles or so) and I know I had used...

    Valvoline synthetic...comments?

    Did a quick search and didn't find too much info or opinions on Valvoline synthetic? Is there a general consensus on this oil? Is it highly regarded like Pennzoil Platinum or loathed like Mobil 1? Somewhere in between? By the way, this oil would be for a 2005 Honda CR-V and 2002 Honda Accord V6.

    OEM Honda S2000 Oil filter

    Flashpoint Testing Method ASTM D-92 vs. ASTM D-93

    Does anyone know what the difference is in the test methods between the two? I recently checked the Dino Pennzoil 5w30 flashpoint as 216 deg. F (ASTM D-93) and Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 flashpoint as 196 deg. F (ASTM D-92). At first I thought, why would the Dino Pennzoil have a that much of a...

    Pennzoil Platinum and keeping engine clean

    I've been a longtime user of Mobil 1 for many years in several cars. On my past car (before it's untimely theft), I've used Mobil 1 for all of it's life and when I took the valve cover off at over 100K miles, the cams, rocker arms, etc all were squeeky clean. Now with the less availability of...

    OCI Opinions

    Hello All, My wife calls me crazy for obsessing over motor oil. More so since I can't make up my mind on which way to go regarding oil choice and OCI. Anyone else here obsess about motor oil? First of all, I think I might just stick with Mobil 1 for my oil. I'm not considering dino or blends...
