I did hear a clicking around the master cylinder when I pulled it. I put the fuse back, but now he...

    Storage Tips, Vacuum packing?

    I recently was given a FoodSaver vacuum packer for free because it was not working. Well, it is working now after some Armor All spray and a day to let is soak up good on the gaskets. I found this thread via the search function to see if there was any data on the safety vacuum packing oil...

    Particle Counts on three filters & one car

    Here are the particle counts that have been done thus far on a 2000 Chevrolet Prizm (1ZZFE). Two of the three filters are not the stock OEM size, only the K&N was the "correct" or OEM size.

    Castrol Syntec 0W-30 (GC), 5589, '00 Chev Prizm 1.8L 1ZZFE

    The oil did a little better with the spark plugs changed, air filter changed, and some FP60 used from about 1-2K in the OCI. PCV valve was to be changed, but I didn't have time to do so. 1850 miles of this OCI was within a 28 hour period. The oil thickened out of grade a little this time. No...

    K&N Gold Oil Filter HP-1003

    I took this thing off on 3-22-06 and then had it tilted for a few days with little oil drainage. I then put it face down in the drain pan and then later on a paper towel for over a week. I cut it open today to see what it had caught inside. The thing was still FULL of oil after being face down...

Make up oil was 1/4 quart and was with Castrol Syntec 5W20 that I had in the trunk (I forgot to put that it was topped off with 5W20 in the report). Makeup oil was after a long 180 mile drive...
