    Toyo Observe GSi-6

    Anyone rolling on these in USA or Canada? Looks to be a fair price at about $106 USD each in 225/55/17 (prefer to upsize from 215/55/17 on my Lexus ES) Something else kind of odd is load rating... 215/55/17 is 98H 225/55/17 is 97H

    Sample taken from 5 qt. jug with code I1318F5 (mfg. date 9-13-18 correct?) recently purchased from Walmart.com during their $17.47 each sale on June 2. I am currently using this oil in my Infiniti M45. COMMENTS: AARON: There's nothing unexpected in this virgin sample of Valvoline Advanced...

    Ordered winter tires for M45 - Vitour Ice Line

    Got a good deal during the recent 15% off anything special on eBay through seller tires-easy (www.tires-easy.com) ... I'll be using OEM 2004 Infiniti M45 wheels (18x7.5") on my 2006 M45 (OEM size 245/40/19, 19x8.5" wheel). Yes, made in China, so bash away, but seems like a good winter tire...

    How much are you paying for TC-W3?

    I stopped at my local Mills' Fleet Farm today and a quart bottle of Resolute brand 2-Cycle Marine Injection and Premix Oil was $2.99 ($3.16 with tax). Just under 10 cents per ounce, so my ~14-15 gallon treatment will be about 30 cents. Gallon jugs were $10.99 if I recall. Treatment in my WRX...

    5w30 Havoline SM/K&N 1004, 1992 miles, 1997 Integra Type R

    Again, a low mileage UOA for me, but I wanted to see what two HPDE (high performance driving event) days at Mid-America Motorplex (near Omaha, NE) would do. My guess would be 250-300 track miles for the 2 track days plus the trip from Milwaukee to Omaha and back with some daily driving after I...

    10w30 Schaeffer/K&N 1004, 3010 miles, 1997 Integra Type R

    Well, after too many years of being on BITOG, this is my 1st UOA. Low mileage on this oil, but I am pleased. Comments are more than welcome since I really dont know all the ranges for the additives. Only additional info for this OCI is I had one HPDE (track day/driving school event) at Gingerman...

    Thicker oil/Auto-Rx/anything can help leaky rings?

    To make a long story short, my 176k mile '89 Civic Si has taken much longer to start when cold lately (5-6 seconds). 1st guess was dirty injectors, so I added some cheapo cleaner to my last tank (Marvel Bros. Injector Cleaner). No help (and I do not have any Neutra... yet). So I decided to pull...

    Some thoughts on manufacturers suggested viscosities....

    I sent an private message to a fellow member on www.honda-tech.com and this was our discussion. His post that caught my eye was this. " Using 10W30 when outside temperatures are below 20 degrees F is not recommended, according to the owner's manual. And, as noted above, 5W30 is preferred at all...

    May have found an even larger filter for my Integra Type R...

    http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=421573 The Wix 51626 crossreferences to the Mobil1 M1-207 and Bosch 3401 (20x1.5mm thread size, but a larger gasket size than a standard size Honda/Acura filter by .33-.35" outside diameter). We'll see if this HUGE Wix filter has any leaking issues...

    Looking for a larger Subaru WRX filter....

    A friend with a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX is looking for a larger Wix (or other high flow) filter than the standard Wix 51365. He passed along the specs on it and I see that it is quite small (2.577" in height x 2.685 in outer diameter). It looks like the thread size (20x1.5mm) and gasket size is...

    Citgo SuperGard found for cheap!

    Yesterday I bought a case of 5w30 Citgo SuperGard and a local Farm and Fleet store for $9.80/case plus it comes with a $4.80 mail-in rebate. Seems like a decent dino oil with some moly in it for less than 50 cents a quart (after rebate). So, I'll be using this for 3 oil changes (probably 3,500...

    Is this theory valid?

    I was chatting with my Dad (ShootingStar here on this forum) this morning and am still undecided on the use of M1-105s for track days with my Integra Type R. I was leaning towards Patman's findings on Wix and their claimed flow ratings, but my Dad comes back with his theory on the M1s and...

    News Flash! Larger filter fits '89 Civic!

    Yay! Pointless post, sorry. SuperTech 3950 fit onto my 1.6l '89 Civic Si (D16A6 for the Honda folks). I will likely switch again on my next oil change to the Mobil filters I bought on eBay though.

    Am I doing wrong?

    After reading this thread on M1 and various viscosities (http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001313), am I doing wrong by using 10w30 Shaeffer in my '89 Civic Si for brutally cold winter starts under 20 degrees Farenheit? I travel 29 miles to work one way 4...
