I'm only reporting this because some people are freaky of Fram anything. I only use Fram Ultras with Great results. Cheers.

It took 1/2 a day they said they took some measurements on different parts, I didnt ask parts. The Tech explained they also wanted pics of the cylinders which turned out to look just like new. The Tech said The cross hatching had zero wear as well. It only had 60k miles on it so not a big amount.

I only use Fram Ultras, my experience with these filters. The dealer said GM needed to measure my engine wear no cost to me. I was not worried so I said yes. End result, you have no wear. They asked a question, how can this be the out come How does your engine have no wear? I said thanks have a...

People quote cars from the 80s 90s saying change the oil at 500 miles. Oil was crap back then. Haven't really seen any info proving doing that does anything really except get rid of the assembly lube. GM still says you have to do it in the Corvette so maybe yes, so says GM.

If it was heat cured, the whole paint booth warms up it could be a couple days, even so most say wait 3 - 4 weeks. Gimpy1 is one the right track. Ask the shop where you got the work done.

Thank you for the info, Cheers.

I have checked many torque wrenches in one of my many jobs and not one was spot on. There is a window the T/W has to be within to be serviceable which is pretty standard. Depending on the business. Did the checker ask any questions of the said torque wrenches? They might even be testing out side...

You neighbor is Awesome!!!

Does oil in that engine go through any kind of rubber hose or is there a chunk of rubber some where in that system?

Vans are awesome for moving anything. If you are considering it that's what I would get.

Audi Q7 2007-2009 are really cheap here.

Root Causes of Sodium and Potassium in Engine Oil Noria Corporation Tags: oil analysis The oil analysis report we received from our lab showed elevated levels of sodium and potassium in our engine oil. This oil has also become significantly thicker. What could be causing this to occur? There...

Originally Posted By: mcwilly I'm curious if anyone else has had a "thickening" of the oil effect. Is there a known mechanism caused by PEA that results in this? And how was the oil determined to be thicker? I'm asking since I added PEA cleaner to my fuel, but am only 2k kms into my OCI. I...
