Just bought my wife a '19 F150 with the 3.0 PowerStroke. What is everyone using for a FA-4 spec lube in an engine that specs it? I'm on the fence as to just use CK-4 10w-30 or try the FA-4, the truck only has 500 mi. , so an OC is months away, just inquiring for future reference. Thanks.

http://www.enerteck.net/Enerburn.aspx I read extensively on the diesel fuel additive link above and decided to give it a try. My truck as listed in my sig is a '15 F350 6.7 PowerStroke. I have bulk tanks on-site (BP Diesel Supreme) which is where all of the fuel used since Dec.1 has come from...

I bought an '14 Escape with the 2.0 last fall and the other day I finally figured out how to look at the IOLM. 5,034 mi. with 54% remaining. How many are following the Ford IOLM or changing at a specified mileage? My intentions are to follow the IOLM as my wifes commute is approx. 80%...

We bought a '14 Escape a couple of months ago, and I have looked through the owners manual but I can't find much info about the IOLM other than it will tell you when the oil needs changed. My question is can the percentage remaining be accessed? Its my wifes car and I just haven't had my...

Quick question, One of my nieces just bought an '04 chevrolet with the OLM, is there a way to tell you the remaining oil life in a percentage form? It has a sticker on the windshield as to when it was changed and when its due. I have no familiarity with this system whatsoever, and last night...

Well after having two different threads locked on this subject I thought I'd add my most recent knowledge; My sons '95 Honda Accord was given the maintainence dose, run three thousand miles, and is now 1,850 mi. into the rinse phase. He shows up today and the Honda hasn't used a drop of oil...

Gentlemen; I completely understand why the thread I started was locked, the main reason I never answered any of the zany posts. For the record; I AM NOT A "SHILL" i AM NOT A "PAID POSTER OF AUTO RX OR ANY OTHER COMPANY FOR THAT MATTER" I mearly wanted to pass along results of an experience...

My sons '95 Accord several years ago popped the radiator and subsequently overheated briefly.It has had an oil-burning issue, generally 2-3 quarts per a 5,000mi. OCI. At 250,000mi. I changed the oil along with a dose of Auto RX. After roughly 1,200mi. he calls me and asked what happened to his...

I literally just stumbled upon the above mentioned oil in 5w-20,5w-30, and 10w-30 for $6.76 a gallon, or a $1.69 a quart. It is API SN, does anyone have any experience using this lube? Oh and I also bought 6 cases of the stuff. Part of the reason for the price is Citgo has a 3 dollar per...

As the title states, I had a rocket scientist add enough diesel fuel additive for 416 gallons into my 275 gallon bulk gasoline tank. Does anyone have any information as to the ill-effects of this? The additive is Fuel Protect, John Deere labeled, and I think manufactured for them by stanadyne...

What is so different with a honda power steering system that it calls for a completely different fluid than most other manufacturers? I have one honda in the fleet, my sons '95. Checking things over the other day and I noticed the P/S tank at the add line. After consulting the owners manual and...
