This is my mother's car. The bulk of her driving is to and from work which is ~25 miles of mostly highway cruising each way. Given how unremarkable these UOAs have been, I may not bother to sample it next time. On the other hand, it's currently running the new gas-to-liquid stuff from Pennzoil...

This is my mother's car. Included in this run was a stretch of several months she took off from work due to a medical issue, during which time the car was mostly short-tripped. Outside of that, the bulk of her driving is to and from work which is ~25 miles of mostly highway cruising each way...

This is my father's car, though it's often used by my sister as well. I was surprised by this at first, but upon reflection it makes some sense. The air filter needed replacing, which has now been done. Also of note, oil leaked from the oil filter (it collected and accumulated [censored]...

My car leaks a fair bit of oil. Out of curiosity and for a fun little experiment, I wanted to try LiquiMoly's (AKA LubroMoly) Motor Oil Saver. It is very thick, akin to pouring honey, so it will definitely thicken the oil mixture. Using a thicker oil to slow a leak isn't exactly a revelation -...

As promised in a LiquiMoly thread in the oil additive section, here is the latest UOA on my mother's Fit which included a dose of MoS2. As we can see from the bloodbath, it killed the engine. My mother does not drive particularly hard; very little serious acceleration and certainly no...

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has posted a UOA where they ran Motor Oil Saver. I tried searching in the UOA forum but didn't turn up anything. Thanks.

Time on oil: 15 months Oil Filter: PureOne PL14459 Air Filter: Fram The car saw more short trips than in previous runs, but it was still predominately highway mileage. I also ran this oil a bit longer than planned, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue. A few miscellaneous notes: -...

This is my mother's car and she does not drive particularly hard; very little serious acceleration and certainly no speeding. The bulk of her driving is to and from work which is ~20 miles of mostly highway cruising each way. I drive the car on occasion and work it harder, but that accounts for...

The water pump on my car shat the bed a couple days ago. Replacing it necessitated removing the valve cover, so I figured I'd take a few pictures and post them for anyone who might like to take a peak. As mentioned in the thread title, it's a '95 Accord EX, so it has the VTEC engine. It's got...

This is from a buddy of mine who lives in Northern California. He drove roughly a 60/40 mix of highway and city, but he's very heavy on the throttle when accelerating up to cruising speed, routinely hitting 5k+ RPM. Most drives are moderately long (14 miles to work), but there's also some short...

Time on oil: 10 months Oil Filter: PureOne PL14459 Air Filter: Fram My sister drives this car the most, the majority of miles being on the highway. A few notes: - The oil used in the previuos UOA was a roughly 50/50 mix of Castrol Syntec 0w30 (GC) and 10w30. - The car is currently running...

Out of curiosity and for a fun little experiment, I decided to do a nice long MMO run. Hopefully other folks find it interesting as well. Oil concoction: 4 quarts Rotella 15w40 and 1 quart MMO Time on concoction: 9 months Oil filter: PureOne PL14459 Air filter: Fram I drive mostly mellow...

I stopped by my local Napa to pick up some LubroMoly MoS2 and, being in an auto store, had to make the requisite trip to the oil section. At the front of one rack was a very aged looking bottle of Mobil 1 0w30. The bottle was rather discolored and seemingly under vacuum as the sides were sucked...

I've had this UOA for a while now, but got busy and forgot about it. Just now getting around to posting it for those interested. This is my mother's car and she does not drive hard; not much serious acceleration and she doesn't speed. Most of her driving is to and from work which is ~20 miles...

I ran out of space in the subject line, but this is the NA 2.5l engine. The oil was a roughly 50/50 mix of Syntec 0w30 (GC) and Syntec 10w30. Time on oil: 7.5 months Oil Filter: PureOne 14610 Air Filter: Fram (new, changed with oil/filter) My sister drives this car the most with the majority of...

Time on oil: 6.5 months Oil filter: Fram Extended Guard Air filter: Fram (new, changed with oil/filter) I drive mostly mellow highway miles (speed limit is 55 on the freeway almost everywhere in Hawaii) and I generally shoot for maximizing gas mileage. A few things worth noting: - Previous oil...

This is from a buddy of mine who lives in Northern California. I figured between the oil used and length of the run, fellow BITOGers would find this interesting. He drove roughly a 50/50 mix of highway and city, but he's VERY heavy on the throttle when accelerating to the speed limit - routinely...

Time on oil: 6.5 months Oil filter: Fram Extended Guard Air filter: Fram I drive mostly mellow highway miles (speed limit is 55 on the freeway almost everywhere in Hawaii) and I generally shoot for maximizing gas mileage. A couple things worth noting: - Even though I added .5 quarts on this...

Miles on car: 153,775 Oil filter: Fram orange can Air filter: Fram orange frame I drive mostly mellow highway miles (speed limit is 55 on the freeway almost everywhere in Hawaii) and I generally shoot for maximizing gas mileage. I wasn't the one who put in the Syntec, so I don't know for sure...
