    How many people are running oil filters for multiple intervals?

    What happened to Purolator has nothing to do with multiple OCIs on one filter. 53' Stude would know and took apart enough of those filters on ordinary, short, single OCIs.

    Does Anyone Sim-Race?

    Yes, but nowhere near like him, both in time devoted and rig! I actually watch his channel on occasion. Lately, I've spent more time watching him game than I've gamed myself!

    When does having a million dollars not make you rich?

    Where I do agree with JHZR2's point is that property values, more accurately, their fluctuation, really don't matter as much as we think they do. If my house is worth half a million, and it's a modest house, I have to buy another half million dollar house ot replace it. If it's worth $10,000 and...

    Friction modifiers in fuel are not uncommon.

    What is this Oil's Application?

    Now we're talking about "diesel" lubes that shouldn't be used in gassers.

    Pennzoil 4 stroke Marine oil not available in Canada anymore?

    That oil price is a bit high, but it's about where you expect for marine type lubes from an ordinary shop around here. So, I think you did okay. It's not what we would have liked with Pennzoil 4 Stroke Marine Oil from Blue Wave, but it's as good as we can expect within spec.

    How old are these frams?

    Great, one of those deals. That doesn't work all that well at all.

    [UOA] Castrol GTX Synblend 5W-30 - 5980 miles - 97 Maxima

    It's old enough to be a dexos1 synthetic blend at least.

    Which synthetic has the highest ZDDP content nowadays?

    Shell Gas Truck oil...Im giving it a try...

    My view is that it makes sense from Shell's distribution perspective. RGT means there's a dexos1 type lube with a familiar name for people buying from distributors and/or accustomed to the Shell or ROTELLA names. In Canada, to make matters worse, Pennzoil and Quaker State cannot be sold at all...

    Noob question! When do you need to top to H mark on dipstick? really needed?

    Just what Quattro Pete said - it's not worth the bother at that point. When I had an oil burning LTD or was running the taxis, we might add half a litre at a time, but never less than that.

    Moly vs No Moly

    They technically are compatible but usually formulated without. One spec, maybe the Cummins, at one time precluded moly, if I recall correctly. It just seems to have stayed the norm with HDEOs. I'm not exactly sure, from a formulating perspective, what would be the advantage of dumping in PCMO...
