This is my first Nissan Maxima and I am concerned that I may get air trapped in the upper area of the heads and create a hot spot there and damage the heads. My Honda had a vent I could open to release most of the trapped air, but I don't see one on the NIssan. I plan on flushing the system with...

Guys, I am new to Nissan's and I have a low mileage 2007 Maxima (53,000 miles) with the v-6 DOHC engine. When I got the car about 1000 miles ago It needed an oil change so I put in Castrol Edge 10w-30 and a wix black filter. I have read that these engines have plastic cam chain guides that can...

Hi all, I have been trying to figure out which coolant I should be using in my new to me 2007 Nissan Maxima but I am not up to speed on all the newer types. My Maxima is a low mileage car and the anti-freeze is a solid medium green color that I have not seen before. I have always just used...

I have a couple of Honda EU2000i generators that I put 10W30 Mobil 1 high mileage oil in them. My question is: Will the High Mileage version of Mobil 1 cause the seals to swell and then wear quicker than the non-high mileage Mobil 1? I don't want the seals to wear out prematurely.

I got a sample of a dark redish brown grease for a ultra high temperture application. This grease has a strong wheel bearing odor and is almost totaly brown, it is also very thick. I suppect it is a special grease that can hold up to 600 degree plus temps as my application runs that hot and this...

On another forum there is a large thread about the different 2 stroke oils on the market and how pre-delution affects the oil/gas ratio. Some posters think that non-predeluted oil will give higher oil/gas ratios than predeluted oil. Others think that synthetic oil run at the same ratio as dino...

I know that this is a Oil forum, however I was wondering what the effects of Ethanol/Gas mix would be on small two-cycle engines because of the fact that they lubricate with oil in the fuel. In the not too distant future I think that we may not be able to get stright unleaded fuel and it may...

I read a thread here that someone said the Lawn-boy 6.5 HP Duraforce engines were prone to have problems with dirt getting by their filters and eating up the engine. I hadn't heard anything about that before and was wondering if it were true and if anyone had any experiance with it and how to...

Hi folks, I'm sure most of you have delt with a mower (lawnboy) that grass sticks up under the deck until it plugs it up. There may not be a solution to this problem, but I thought I would throw it out as I'm sure if there is a solution a lot of folks can benifit from it. Thanks! Rich

Hi folks, I posted a couple of months ago about the sorry condition of my 20 year old Lawn boy mower that I liked so much and that I was rebuilding it. Then I discovered that the crankshaft was sprung slightly and was the probable cause for the lower engine seal to be chewed up. I think the seal...

All you Amsoil folks on the board, I need some help figuring out if Amsoil's new Saber Professional has been tested to certify to ISO-L-EGD, JASO FC and API TC standards. I ask this question because I have a bottle of it and it says that it is "recomended for these applications". I have heard...

OK guys, I admit that I'm confused about what oil to run in my lawnboy 2 cycle mower. I have Mobil 1 two-cycle that I was going to run at 32 to one, then someone said to use a ashless oil. Then someone said that you needed a ashless oil like outboard oil is because lawnboys run at a constant...

I have some Klotz R50 Racing Oil that I was thinking about using for my two cycle lawn care engines. I mix at 32 to one for all my engines. I have no experiance with this oil and have been using Amsoil Saber with no problems so far. Has anyone used R50 and are there any problems with it? Thanks!

I have an old Excell Hustler comercial 440 mower with a 1.1 or 1.2 liter industrial Ford inline four cylinder water cooled engine that I would like to know what oil would be best for it. I understand that it has solid lifters or tappets and that a stright oil is what I should use. I think it has...
