2003 Sierra 1500 2wd, 4.8l v8, auto trans, towing package. Already has PS and trans coolers, and deep trans pan. IIRC, towing capacity is around 6500lbs. Right now it's in the AutoRX treatment stages, so I don't intend to run the Amsoil recommended fluids until completion. The vehicle's got near...

The GM LS2 thermostat is a different design than the "traditional" thermostats I've used. Specifically, I'd like to know what the spring and plate on the bottom of the LS2 thermostat does compared to the traditional thermostat that does not have it. Thanks.

2007 Cadillac CTS-V. The black radio buttons have a common issue of the black coating peeling off, winding up with a white button in the end. What do you guys think I could apply to the buttons to maintain their finish that would not affect the bond between the button and the black coating? Thanks.

Did a search, tired of going through post after post to find the answer, so I'd like to find out if RMI-25 is safe to use with Dexcool in a GM LS2 engine? Thanks.

I recently had an individual call me to order some Amsoil Saber Professional for his passenger car. He swore it dramatically improved his fuel mileage, and started using on the recommendation of the shop he goes to. Has anyone else experienced/tested this product in a gasoline powered passenger car?

2007 CTS-V, would adding Auto-RX to the current transmission, power steering, and differential fluids be a safe thing to do, then change to Amsoil products at the completion of the cleaning cycles?

Would Zerex G05 be an acceptable coolant in a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V? I've used RMI-25 in my other cars with excellent results, I'd also like to know if it is safe to use in the Cadillac.

Since Specialty Formulations wasn't selling at the time, I bought some Swepco 201 tranny fluid. I still have about a quart of SF MTL-R in the container. Can I mix it with what's left of the Swepco gallon I am using?

I have a 1996 Mazda Miata. I have some new balljoints and tie rod ends to install tomorrow, and I wanted to add some Redline CV-2 grease to the joints for longevity's sake. I don't know what kind of grease Mazda uses on their balljoints. These are new factory Mazda balljoints I have. Removing...

Just bought a 96 Mazda Miata with 119k on it. The 5-speed tranny and rear diff(open rear, no LSD) are probably in need of a flush and fluid change. I have plenty of LC on hand, but not much AutoRX. I was thinking about buying another bottle of AutoRX anyway. Which would be more appropriate in...

Recently changed the plugs on my wife's 2002 V6 Explorer. The old ones had a reddish coloration on them. I have used the Neutra/FP blend for at least a year, maybe not in every tank, but I do try to remember to keep up with the applications. I wanted to know if the Neutra/FP caused the plug...

My 02 V6 Explorer hit 60k, so I wanted to do the coolant flush and refill myself. Ran Super Cleaner through the system for about 100 miles, then drained the coolant system and flushed with distilled water until it was clear coming out of the petcock (ran engine to circulate, flush, repeat)...

Bought a used Porter Cable generator early this year, 8000 watts, 11000 surge. It has a twin cylinder B&S air cooled engine. I have a few 5 quart containers of Mobil 1 10w30 on hand and was considering using it in the generator engine. Would this be heavy enough oil for my air cooled generator?

I live in South Florida. I have my stash of gas saved for the generator in anticipation of the next hurricane. I mixed all my fuel with gas stabilizer just in case I get lucky and don't have to use the reserves for a while. When the time comes to use it, can I mix some Mystery Oil or Fuel Power...

Chrome rings or plasma moly rings? I've never heard of chrome moly rings. Chrome rings are the ones that take a long time to seat. Can't say what to do as far as running synthetic oil when the rings aren't seated. As far as weight, 10w30 will do the trick. I ran M1 10w30 in my 5.0, and I'm...

http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=96 Found this on their website while reading about G-05 and the Zerex water pump lube/anticorrosion additive. Anyone use it, know anything about it, or what? I ran a search here, but didn't find any info.

New engine's going in my Fox body Mustang. I've upgraded the cooling system with a thicker aluminum radiator, high flow water pump, and high flow thermostat. I thought I was just going to run a 30% coolant/70% distilled water and 1 bottle of WW mix, but after reading this bulletin board, I am...

Well, finding Zerex around here is a PITA. Checked 2 Advance Autos. Autozone and Pepboys are too far for me to waste my time. Walmart doesn't have it either. Seems Prestone and Texaco are available. I checked the label on the Advance Auto extended drain antifreeze, and it is made by Prestone...

I had to get the tires rotated and balanced, and an alignment done at the same time. The shop offered a deal for $200 (includes shop supply and environment costs, etc) my vehicle will get lifetime oil changes, tire rotations and balancings, and wheel alignments. That's a pretty good deal to me...
