I'm generally not a fan of Lucas products, but I came across a clearance case of 4 gallons of this Magnum 15W-40 that they market for pre 2007 diesels, and it was too cheap to pass up! I've owned this Jeep since new and just crossed 100k mi on it so I though I'd do an analysis. Never seen one...

Hi, I want to move away from using the M1 synthetic grease in the ball joints and u-joints of my Jeep. I don't like the way it constantly weeps out of my gun or joints. I found here that it's a lithium complex type, so I'm looking for something compatible, chemistry-wise, to switch to. Any...

I pulled this sample from the fumoto drain valve at 5500 miles. Mostly highway driving just cruising 70-90mph on long trips. Motorcraft filter.

This interval was the first I ran with the EGR disabled, and what a difference. Wear ppm per mile are exactly half what they were before, and viscosity stayed in control this time. Installed an oversized M1 filter and going 10k this change.

I'm looking for a portable generator for home backup in emergencies. Something about 6-8kW. I don't need to be able to run everything in the house, just the key appliances. Does anyone have any recommendations about brand/size etc? There are dozens of generic brands online with little...

Hi, I'm looking for a substitute motor oil to be used in some automated test stands for Caterpillar mechanical diesel fuel pumps. Our company builds and tests 6, 8, and 12 cylinder pumps - the big cast iron ones that weigh 50 to 150 lbs. The pump has a camshaft and roller lifters. It's lubed by...

Are there any brick and mortar places to buy M1R? Can anyone in Colorado point me in the right direction? Thanks!

When I had my spark plugs out I noticed the tops of my pistons were black with carbon deposits. Could I pour a bit of one of these cleaners through the plug holes and let it sit a while? I plan on cranking the engine over without the plugs in (maybe a towel over the block) to expel the crap...

1995 BMW 318ti 1.8L 4-cyl 54.4k mi Mobil 1 SS 5-30 6000 mi on oil.

If I wanted to get the ultimate gas mileage from my econobox 1.8L BMW, would it be advisable to use a 0W-20 oil like M1? BMW has changed the recommended oil viscosities for nearly all its engines, old and new, to synthetic 5W-30, so would going one grade lower be dangerous?

I've been lurking here for a while but I'm new to the whole UOA thing. Last time I changed my oil I saved a 35mm film canister full, only to have the blackstone kit arrive and see its conainer 3 times as large! Do I have enough to get anything useful out of? Thanks!
