    Castrol "Edge" Advanced Synthetic Motor Oil

    Originally Posted By: Mark888 I don't know if the per quart price of Edge is that much more than other synthetics, but for the 5-quart jug at Walmart it is $5.50 more than M1 EP and $8.00 more than regular M1. Considering that warranties are getting longer for drivetrains, and most cars sold in...

    Is Mobil making Mobil-1 5W-30 Extended Performance anymore?

    My store still has it. The 15w50 we've been short on for some reason, though. Could just be a really low maxi, that isn't an incredibly popular weight.

    BG ATF flush

    I'll skip back to the cat issue briefly. On newer 3800 vehicles like my Impala, ANY non-stock catalytic converter will cause the computer to throw a code because of the change in feedback from the O2 sensor. That is unless you use an O2 simulator for the downstream sensor. Keep that in mind. As...

    Lubegard and B12 arrive

    Seems possible. They warn against putting the combustion chamber cleaner in the tank, in any case.

    AEM Dry flow efficiency testing

    Now if only they carried as massive a line of drop-in replacement filter, intake kits, and universal filters in all sorts of shapes and sizes as K&N does. Maybe I could sell those instead of K&Ns ones day. The performance increase of drop-ins is questionable to begin with, but at least this way...

    I think that vehicles should be undercoated with Rhino Liner

    I've had reasonable luck with Dupli-Color products, including paintable rubberized undercoat. Some of the rubberized undercoatings, particularly the ones advertising limited sound deadening properties, get somewhat pricey. That's a lot of salt! You can get your pretzels plain and just rub them...

    What did I do!? Ack, I remember!

    It'll come back when he least suspects it.

    "Regular" M1 vs. M1 Extended Performance 10w-30

    Ruking: It just seemed to me that regarding M1 vs M1 EP protection, you read too far into it. I didn't say you were wrong, but maybe just answering the wrong question. I'd say that longevity aside, M1 protects just as well as M1 EP. Wouldn't you agree? Saying it is overkill is true, but one...

    Lubegard and B12 arrive

    Sweet, thanks! I double checked, and that is the can that's in the kit, as well as the fuel system cleaner.

    Purolator Pure One

    My store carries many of them on hand, but any Advance should be able to order them as long as we have access to one for your application. They are definitely oiled, and it advertises it right on the box. But like I said "But they're not soaked in oil" meaning it's pretty light. They do have...

    I think that vehicles should be undercoated with Rhino Liner

    Char: It depends where you live. When I lived near Syracuse, I saw a lot more underbody corrosion than I do in Virginia. 1sttruck: You're not alone, BUT...

    Care for New Leather

    Since forum+consensus is *almost* an oxymoron, I'll just say this: If you take care of your leather, many OTC products do an excellent job. I've had good luck with Meguiar's gold class spray, as an example.

    "Regular" M1 vs. M1 Extended Performance 10w-30

    Uh, I guess you just weren't "clear enough", youngbuck. Ruking: The thread was about M1 vs M1 EP. It seems to me youngbuck and Dave were asking about M1 vs M1 EP protection. Youngbuck specifically was asking about how they stack up performance wise, *without* considering longevity and OCI...

    Oil Filter Damage?

    If it wasn't dented I don't think I would have sweated it. But they're so cheap, I suppose it's worth putting one on for the peace of mind alone.

    Purolator Pure One

    They've been discussed here a bit before, when I first spotted them boxed up in the back when they came off the truck. They use the same numbering for the Pure Ones, only with a P in front. Just like their oil filters. They should fit each application exactly as the non-Pure One filters did...
