Canadian Tire Motomaster (the $13 thing) is PEA based. Canadian Tire has carried Redline SI-1 for years. I hear that they are discontinuing it and I have bought it on sale for $8.99. One reason I heard that they may stop selling redline is they are now (eg starting in May) carrying Gumout...

Thanks all I cranked it a few times with some intervals in between in hope that the LC20 would work its way down the cyclinder walls and around the rings. After about 48 hours I extracted the excess LC20 using a large syringe (from the 2 cycle mixing drawer) and some plastic tubing (leftover...

Okay so I disconnected the battery, pulled my spark plugs, and squirted two ounces of LubeControl LC20 though some tubing directly into each spark plug hole. I could then see the LC 20 covering each cylinder head. I covered the open plug holes loosely with some rags, and covered the rags with...

I guess your friend has water mixing in the oil. Short trips, cold weather, low speeds. My suggestion? 1. Run it on the highway for half an hour. 2. Drain the oil and replace the oil filter and fill with good 15w40 HDEO conventional Dino. Shell Rotella Dino was on sale at Canadian Tire last...

Was just at Canadian Tire and in the last 5 days they have added Gumout products, including Regane in a tiny bottle

I bought a bottle of Redline SI 1 today for $10.99 at the Yonge and Davenport Canadian Tire. There were 7 or 8 bottles on the shelf I still see it at every CDN tire locally in Toronto and it is actually cheaper than it was a couple of years ago. At one point i found they had put it behind a...

In Toronto the main city dump/transfer stations have a household hazardous waste depot. i wait until i have a bunch of jugs then take take them along with old batteries, light bulbs, paint etc. My understanding is that places that sell oil have to take oil have to take it back but i just hate...

I started my car the other day in a doomed attempt to change the oil prior to storage (long story). It was 26 degrees Farenheit and the 20w50 started and ran just fine. True that the reason i picked that day was that the forecast for the next week was more like 5 degrees Farenheit, but still

Originally Posted By: BobFout What weight oil does the manual call for? I doubt that the manual considers the fact that the original poster has modded up the engine to get 400 HP at the wheels. I would try a synthetic 5w40 or 0w40

Originally Posted By: Hitzy Canadian Tire here in Canada seems to carry it. I plan on running a bottle through one of these days. Yep, it is the only cleaner with PEA that I routinely see at retail here in toronto. All of the Pennzoil products here are just the ones without PEA. I gather that...

Me too eh ! I have been using Vpower in my turbo because of the lack of Ethanol in the Ontario stations 91 octane. It is one of the only gasolines i see declaring no ethanol. I don't think a little ethanol in gas i a bad idea especially in winter to dry it out but even 10% is bad - let alone...

While I do see Amsoil motor Oil at CDN tire in 1 litre bottles I never see any of the other products. Normally amsoil is only sold through amsoil independetn dealers. There have been several who are sponsors on this site, including one who is in kitchener or london or somewhere down there. The...

Originally Posted By: Westerly For the price Regane has the most PEA for the dollar, followed by Techron. Redline is way overpriced!!!!!!!! Especially since regane and redline have about the same percentage of PEA. Fine, but the guy indicated he is in Canada and cannot get Regane or Techron...

I had some sediment in a jug of FP60 a couple of years ago. They told me it was just dye. I believe they changed the dye formula after that (the old stuff seemed redder to me). I don't think it affected performance in any way. But i don't think it is what you experienced. Sounds more like what...

I did find a place online in Oshawa that was selling Techron a couple of years ago, but lost the link. I never see Gumout Regane, Techron, Berryman's B-12 etc anywhere at retail in Canada. They are all readily available (and cheap!)in the US. Even Marvel Mystery Oil can hardly be found now that...

My capsule summary advice for people is just watch Best Buy weekly sales for about three weeks. When they put one of the less expensive Toshibas on sale, buy it. Any computer sold today is massive overkill in terms of CPU for anything other than the most demanding stupid waste of time games...
