Was driving my beloved (and so hated) 2005 Ford F350 last week to the races, pulling a loaded 40ft race trailer up the interstate when it just completely shut off at 75mph! This truck only has 150k miles on it and has been meticulously maintained. EGR and all that long gone as well as the other...

Hi gents, took the traditional trip to the Rolex 24 IMSA race at Daytona with my son this year and we decided to go through the garage and perform some "Recon" on oil types used by various teams... For all you Mobil 1 fans I'm sorry to say it is no longer a popular choice whatsoever with race...

Just had my roof redone and used a reputable local company here in Central FL. My issue is with the roof vents, I'm questioning the install as well as the use of the box type vents vs the ridge vent that was on our house. From what I can tell there is supposed to be a visible flashing part of...

Hi gents, coming up on my first 50 hour service on my little RK24 (25hp Yanmar 3 Cyl) tractor. Of course its a TYM made unit but all branded Rural King so they suggest only their fluids in the manual which tend to be on the cheaper side of things. I want this little tractor to last a long time...

Hi Ladies and gents, we have an older Gore 3 horse trailer with small tack room, etc. Its not too heavy at 7000lbs and we rarely haul more than 2 horses. I have had 3 trailer tire blow outs this year on it with practically new tires. No punctures, no sidewall damage. First set was Trailer King...

Decided to change the oil in my truck this week (05 F350 with the 6.0) and wanted to give Motorcraft oil a try since it was cheap and easily available at my local China Mart. Any way, I noticed this oil doesn't seem to have a single API type rating anywhere on the bottle? Are these oils not...

I've owned my '14 Passat TDi since March, we've put approximately 11,000miles on it since (purchased with 43,000 on the clock) immediately changed the oil to T6 5W40 because the dealer sticker in the window said 0W20! For my own piece of mind I changed it and took it 5,000miles on the T6. (yea...

Ok, I do get it. It keeps the DPF and other diesel emissions BS safe BUT in a modern engine, like my '13 TDi with 40k miles, it doesn't burn ANY oil so why am I so worried about a particular oil with Low SAPS so it doesn't pollute my DPF/SCR?? I understand, once an engine gets some age on it and...

Hi Guys, I build small engines for kart racing (mainly the Honda Clone GX160 and GX200) and we're all always looking for a good oil to protect these things with no oil filter, splash lube and air cooled so rather high temps. From reading on here for years, Molacule has always stated how awesome...

Hi guys, Just picked up a nice little used TroyBilt Mustang Z50 mower for cheap. Never owned a Zero turn yet but am a long time small engine guru, I know the wheel pump motors on these things are pricey and want to include servicing of them in my refurb of this little mower. What fluid have you...

Hi gents, As some of you may be aware, I'm not a M1 fan.. lol but today after some scouring shelves in all my favorite spots I finally found some approved 507 oil for my new Passat TDi. It was on sale at NAPA for $5.69 a qt so I scarfed some up! Any recent VOA's on this stuff? I'm very leary...

Hi ladies and gents! Just retired my Subaru Legacy GT with 178k on the clock and bought a little more roomy, family car now that I have a daughter that is 5'7" tall. Found a killer deal at the local VW dealer on a 2014 Passat "BuyBack" car with 40k miles and full service done, new tires, brakes...

Hi guys, I just recently purchased a new-to-me 2013 Passat TDi with the DSG (tiptronic) trans. I'm a huge LubeGuard advocate and use the stuff in all my Auto Trans vehicles with great success. However, the DSG trans is a different animal with no real torque converter and duel clutch setup. It...

Hi gents, Just picked up a like new Passat TDi yesterday with 40k on it. Manual calls for strict use of Synthetic 507 spec oil only. I'm finding these difficult to find... any other newer TDi owners on here care to share what you're using and where you are getting it? Prefer off the shelf oils...

Just returned from Daytona, our usual annual father and son trip for the Rolex 24.. All the hype was around the new C8-R Vettes for sure! I was very unimpressed of the sound and performance from them honestly... nothing beats the sound of that American V8 roaring down the back stretch at over...

Sorry guys, didn't really know where to put this one, I was lying awake last night with a nasty cold and cough so no sleep.... This weekend I got my deep fryer out and made a big batch of hot wings and as usual, I get my oil (Canola) up to 350-375*F before dropping my wings in... this got me to...

Hi ladies and gents, I've long wondered how good this stuff is... I used to use it back 15+ years ago in the flathead Briggs and Stratton engines when I raced karts and now fast forward to current and I've found the same oils in the parts trailer at the local track where my son races karts...

Hi guys, I just recently learned that my 2008 Legacy GT required a fairly rare and special filter that I can't really get anywhere... From what I understand it calls for an unusually high bypass pressure in the OEM requirement. What exactly does this affect? I normally use the standard Purolator...

Hi fellas, We live in a very rural area of Florida and do not have any options for internet other than Satellite (Junk) so I've recently got wind of a company called Blazing Hog wireless out of Texas who supplies you with a Netgear 4G LTE modem and AT&T SIM card for unlimited internet. Problem...

Was due for an oil change and the wife is heading out on a 5+ hour haul loaded to the gills with horses so I went ahead and dumped some straight 30WT in the 05 PSD. I've read many times about how well this weight does in the 6.0 due to lack of VII's and how the HEUI system beats up oil so I...
