    Mag 1 0w-20

    Thoughts on using this oil in my 98 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6 DOHC? The motor was originally designed to run on 5w30, then to 5w-20 when Ford made the update.

    Redline 5w-20 in LS2?

    What are your thoughts on running Redline 5w-20 in an LS2 chevy motor? It's specs call for a 30 weight but I read Redline 5w-20 has HTHS which is superior to many 30 weight oils. Thoughts?

    Read my plugs

    These are NGK V-Power (copper) TR55's with about 5000 miles on them and around 100 track passes. I am not much of a spark plug reader, can you guys see anything going on with these?

    Just ordered a case of Redline D6

    If you google it you can end up buying a case for a little over $9 a quart shipped. Still waiting on my 3200 stall converter and tru-cool transmission cooler to come in as well.

    LS2 oil pressure

    My oil pressure at idle when cold is in the high 30's and when it's warm it's in the high 20's, low 30's. When cruising it's around 41-45psi and at WOT it's at 52-60psi. Does that sound about right for a 2005 Pontiac GTO LS2 with Mobil 1 5w30 and Purolator oil filter?

    I reset my battery a few days ago and since then i've been datalogging the car the evap system test is incomplete. The pcm will not run the tests for some reason.

    M1 5w-30, 2005 Pontiac GTO, 4100 miles

    The car is not a supercharged 6.0, no idea where they got that from, it is basically stock with a few bolt ons. Reason why I changed the oil at 4100 miles is I ran the car down the 1/4 mile over 70 times in that time span, also ran two chevron techron treatments in the gas tank.

    Pulled a valve cover on my GTO

    Car has almost 68,000 miles on it. I don't know what oil it has seen most of it's life but I have been using Mobil 1 since I bought it last year.

    Castrol 10w-30, 2005 G35, ~4900mi

    Sent in this sample because I noticed coolant disappearing from the overflow bottle. Had the system pressure tested and they found a crack in the radiator but I never see any coolant on the garage floor. Thoughts? Car has over 170,000 miles on it, I've owned it since new.

    ATF for 2005 GTO

    I have an 05 Pontiac GTO with the 4L65E auto which sees the drag strip quite often. It calls for Dex VII fluid, I believe. Any recommendations for ATF?

    Anyone use Amsoil HDD series 3000 5w-30?

    If so, for what application? I'm wondering if it's a better oil for 5000-6000k OCI's than SSO 0w-30?

    Gear oil for new gear setup?

    I just got 4.30 gears with an 03 Cobra trac-loc carrier installed in my 98 LSC. What gear oil should I use once everything is broken in? I was thinking the Amsoil SVT 75w-110 or even 75w-140? Will I need to put in friction modifier in with it as well? My mechanic put in an 85w-140 in to break it...

    Burning a little bit of oil with ASM 0w-20

    My 98 Mark VIII has never burned a noticeable amount of oil before, but I have taken the car to the track recently and it has burned a 1/4 quart of oil, with almost 4000 miles on the oil. This is my second OCI in a row with the ASM 0w-20, my iron #'s went up a bit on my last UOA as well so I...
