Sorry for the late reply. I removed the screens upon purchasing the car at 80000 miles. I was running 0w40 for a while, but it was using the same amount of oil. Since consumption was no better, didn’t see a need to continue, as you get better circulation and cooling with the 30wt. I’ll report...

I tuned it myself with Cobb Accesstuner and an Accessport. My theory as to why it’s done well is that I’ve left the factory ignition advance unchanged at higher power levels. I’m sure it’s not perfect since it’s never been on a dyno. I also leaned out the fuel mildly, which people say not to do...

Me too! Its been given plenty of opportunities. It’s been up and down the east coast 4 times. Chicago to Arkansas, multiple times. It’s been overheated, when the radiator exploded, I cracked the hood and kept driving 10 miles. I tow a boat with it sometimes. It runs great! Love this car. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just wanted to add this analysis to the databank for people to discuss. Car is tuned to 17psi, and sees it regularly as it’s my daily driver. Car has modified intake/exhaust and an ecu tune. Fueled with E30. Original engine and turbo. I’ll answer questions when time permits. Previous fills from...

This uoa was posted to add data and contribute to the board. I'll gladly take paypal donations and/or job offers instead of criticism of what the car is being used for. That info was only included because it was pertinent to how the car was used. I forgot to include that this oil is still in...

I don't post much here, but I thought I would throw out my UOA results for everyone to see. Nothing really out of the ordinary here, except that I'm (sadly) using this mint car for full-time Uber/Lyft in Chicago and surrounding areas. About 1000 miles a week is the average. The previous oil in...

I have a Legacy GT also. Advance Auto Parts has the Purolator 14615 and here's the long version of the Subaru filter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I798FIA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use both. Not sure which is better.

Now if only Pennzoil would update the data sheets for the conventional and Platinum, and put the correct, current data sheet up for the high mileage oil...

FWIW, Pennzoil Ultra data sheet was just updated. As of Dec 2011, the 5w30 meets ACEA A5/B5-10. Still no updated data sheet for Platinum, however, the 5qt jug I just purchased yesterday with date code of Nov 22, 2011 claims to meet "A1/B1."

So the suspense was killing me and I did a retest this morning. I tested the opposite side first and got lower numbers, and on the other side that had cooled a bit, I got higher numbers(+about 10psi)than yesterday. This is a brand new, known-accurate gauge that has been used before with...

Sorry, I'm a bit late. It's been a long day. Compression test results are as follows: (looking at engine) Left side ----- Right side cyl#8= 160 -- cyl#7= 142 cyl#6= 156 -- cyl#5= 148 cyl#4= 158 -- cyl#3= 134 cyl#2= 148 -- cyl#1= 136 When I did the test, the engine was at operating temp. I...

Wow, thanks to everyone for the responses and suggestions. I didn't mean to leave this post high and dry, but I work and go to school full time, so I don't have much time to spare. However I have a partial day off today! I will try to reply to all who have suggested things. --I've tried 3...

I've owned this truck since 2001. It has a severe oil consumption issue which I've been trying to solve. 150 miles to a quart, without fail. I drive 70 miles a day on the freeway to and from work. My Eclipse broke down, so for now I am forced to drive the truck to work, school, and well...

Driving conditions for this sample were completely different than the last. The older sample shown was almost all city driving, mostly driving 3-4 miles to work and home, 5 days a week. The current sample was mostly freeway driving 70(+)mph, 50 mile round trip to work and back, 5 days a week. I...

Thanks for giving your opinions. All factors were taken into consideration before I decided to do the UOA. It will still be posted for anyone that might find the information valuable or interesting.

I have the 5w30 in my Eclipse right now. 15% MMO added also. I have 1300 miles on it so far and am driving about 300 miles per week. I plan to take a sample for UOA at 6000 miles. Look for my UOA at the end of August.

www.sellerspetroleum.com/Viscosity%20Blend%20Calculator.xls Wouldn't a viscosity calculator like this one give you the correct mixed viscosity? I tried a few calculations and it seems like the viscosity drops quite a bit when MMO is added. The viscosities I have for MMO per VOA/mmo website are...

Waiting patiently... I'm interested to see how this oil compares to the Quaker State HM(from the VOA section) I've searched, but never found a UOA for this oil.

I can't help with the belts/pulleys as I have never had to remove mine.(hoping I never have to!) Here's the link to the factory service manual if you don't have it already.. http://tearstone.com/shop/2000-2002-Eclipse-Service-Manual.html
