curious though, hows the compatibility with zerex asisn, i have 5 gallons sitting here. my parts store down the street has both so getting g05 is easy. just didnt know if i could use what i got.

forgot all about thatold post. triumph dosnt have branded stuff(not my dealer anyway), first time i was there they did mobil everything. last time i was there it was castrol everything, even had a new castrol key chain. that, and the fact they wouldnt repair my bike under warrenty because "we...

so what if my service manual and owners manual do NOT list a spec for coolant? the only info i have is 'mobil coolant' and its supposed to be blue. however what is in the motorcycle is green. so i dont know what i have, dont know what i should have. ive got a leak and the bike is 9 years old...

i couldnt afford a loud stereo when i was in high school. but i can afford it in my 30's... alpine single din digital media reciever polk mm components up front 18 inch dayton ultimax sub,5 cubic foot box, port tuned at 19hz, yes 19hz. 200w rms for each front speaker 1000w rms for the sub i...

i ordered an airtex evap vent valve for my acura. p/n 2n1135. came in an airtex box. but the valve that came out is denso. i just realized they both say made is mexico. so are these two companys related?

allright guys, g-05 it is. thanks for helping me. i know the thermostat is a bear of a job. im replacing the upper hose and bypass hose at the same time. i dont feel like going back in for a leaking hose. im doing a belt and tensioner at the same time. this car also has the fnr5 trans, ive...

i guess i didnt clarify my reason for asking. i have on hand 6 gallons of zerex asian. it would be nice to use what i have, and also get everything on the same coolant so i only have to maintain a stock of one kind. however the reason i asked you fine people first was im an ex ford tech and i...

my moms 08 fusion 2.3 needs a new thermostat(stuck open) and with 100,000 miles on the car its time for a coolant flush as well. i know its costly to do a complete flush with distilled water and zerex asian is only sold 50/50. so ignoring cost, and assuming i completely flush out the factory...

btw i did find this about the ax oil on tuthill's website "A high quality, low vapor pressure, and non-additive petroleum based oil for oil-sealed mechanical vacuum pumps. Ultimate pressure specfication: .0002 Torr. (.00026 mbar a) Viscosity: Approx. 68 cSt @ 40° C (340 SSU @ 100° F)"

allright people heres the deal.. i own a kinney kc-2r vacuum pump. neat little rotary piston pump. as far as i know its always been used for refrigeration systems. a family member gave it to me, but hes dead now so i have lost all the information for it. so im sure it needs an oil change...

ok this isnt my car but i take care of it so i wondered a while ago if i was doing the right thing in regards to oci. after the first oil change i was using m1 5w20 with 10K intervals, at some point switching to m1ep. well i guess i was doing ok all this time. BONUS!!1! i wondered where the...

hey people, i figured i would show my progress with my engine. k20a2. for a 'before' see this post http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3071434 anyway im at 10K right now on amsoil ss 5w30, i did a check at 5k. ignore the 1656mile sample, different oil, rp...

ive looked at voas' for this oil and it seems my viscosity has come down a bit but i was wondering if that was related to the fuel. also the fuel is from a few hours of idling the day before i took the sample, i tried to drive it before i took the sample, guess i didnt go far enough.

allright good people im back with some follow up information. last time i posted i had installed a remote bypass filter and used amsoil 5w30 SS. im gonna post up the results of 5355 miles with this setup. the car did not burn any oil during this run, i added 2 quarts about 2000 miles into the...
