    "Propping up" a cheap dino oil?

    If you can get Chevron or Havaline (they are the same now), you'd also get a well-formulated conventional oil.

    Higher Temp Thermostat = More heat in winter?

    FL400S. Why don't you try a real parts store like NAPA or Car Quest? Might have better luck. Aside for a good deal on oil, I stay away from those Autozone/Kragen/Pepboys-type stores. As our sage President has said, “There’s an old saying in Tennessee --- I know It’s in Texas, probably in...

    High Mileage Synthetic

    I can’t help you with the second question, but for that old “Iron Duke” motor you have, I’d think that he Rotella 5W-40 would work well (even though it’s not a true syn). M-1 would probably be a bit thin for your application. German Castrol Syntec 0W-30 would probably also be a good...

    "Propping up" a cheap dino oil?

    Kind of, I suppose. The Chevron is routinely discounted to 69 cents at Kragen’s. About the same price at Costco. And, it’s only around a buck everywhere else. In all fairness, this is an exception to the rule. It makes is a heck of a value.

    Fuel Ratio for Mobil MXT2 on Husky chainsaw

    Yes, 3 oz. per gallon would be more than fine (that's about 43:1). **** , I run the Amsoil stuff in my Husky at 80:1, and have never had a problem.

    "Propping up" a cheap dino oil?

    Yes. Motorbike hit the nail right on the head. But, you can make the Pennz quite a bit better doing the same thing.

    "Propping up" a cheap dino oil?

    Sure. 1 ounce of Schaeffer 132 and 1 ounce of Lube Control will make even a crappy oil pretty good.

    What Color is you Fuel Power?

    I purchased FP from Odis directly before we had LCD to purchase from. The FP purchased from Odis was a clear, light amber fluid. My most recent purchase of FP from LCD was pink in color, and was milky/hazy. Has anybody else noticed this? They both smell the same however (to me it smells like...

    What Color is you Fuel Power?

    Thanks Jeff. Odis must like playing arouind with these dyes. We should do a poll to see what color people want! I only wish the dyes didn't precipitate from the solution.

    CorrosionX

    I use it all the time for many different purposes. It’s the best rust preventative I’ve ever used. It also has EP chemistry, which makes it very good for slides, bolts, etc. I usually clean my firearms with Hoppes, then do a wipe down and run a patch through the bore with CorrosionX. Just for...
