My store still has it. The 15w50 we've been short on for some reason, though. Could just be a really low maxi, that isn't an incredibly popular weight.

I'll skip back to the cat issue briefly. On newer 3800 vehicles like my Impala, ANY non-stock catalytic converter will cause the computer to throw a code because of the change in feedback from the O2 sensor. That is unless you use an O2 simulator for the downstream sensor. Keep that in mind. As...

Seems possible. They warn against putting the combustion chamber cleaner in the tank, in any case.

Now if only they carried as massive a line of drop-in replacement filter, intake kits, and universal filters in all sorts of shapes and sizes as K&N does. Maybe I could sell those instead of K&Ns ones day. The performance increase of drop-ins is questionable to begin with, but at least this way...

I've had reasonable luck with Dupli-Color products, including paintable rubberized undercoat. Some of the rubberized undercoatings, particularly the ones advertising limited sound deadening properties, get somewhat pricey. That's a lot of salt! You can get your pretzels plain and just rub them...

It'll come back when he least suspects it.

Ruking: It just seemed to me that regarding M1 vs M1 EP protection, you read too far into it. I didn't say you were wrong, but maybe just answering the wrong question. I'd say that longevity aside, M1 protects just as well as M1 EP. Wouldn't you agree? Saying it is overkill is true, but one...

Sweet, thanks! I double checked, and that is the can that's in the kit, as well as the fuel system cleaner.

My store carries many of them on hand, but any Advance should be able to order them as long as we have access to one for your application. They are definitely oiled, and it advertises it right on the box. But like I said "But they're not soaked in oil" meaning it's pretty light. They do have...

Char: It depends where you live. When I lived near Syracuse, I saw a lot more underbody corrosion than I do in Virginia. 1sttruck: You're not alone, BUT...

Since forum+consensus is *almost* an oxymoron, I'll just say this: If you take care of your leather, many OTC products do an excellent job. I've had good luck with Meguiar's gold class spray, as an example.

Uh, I guess you just weren't "clear enough", youngbuck. Ruking: The thread was about M1 vs M1 EP. It seems to me youngbuck and Dave were asking about M1 vs M1 EP protection. Youngbuck specifically was asking about how they stack up performance wise, *without* considering longevity and OCI...

If it wasn't dented I don't think I would have sweated it. But they're so cheap, I suppose it's worth putting one on for the peace of mind alone.

They've been discussed here a bit before, when I first spotted them boxed up in the back when they came off the truck. They use the same numbering for the Pure Ones, only with a P in front. Just like their oil filters. They should fit each application exactly as the non-Pure One filters did...

Yeah, the fuel system cleaner. Haven't seen the 3M kit locally, though I rarely meet a 3M product that isn't good. What I really want to know is what is different about regular B12 chemtool and the can for induction that comes in the kit. It specifically says to not use that one in the tank, and...

Probably not. Just a stronger add-pack for longer runs, I would think. Then again, how does the regular M1 of today compare to the last couple of formulations, as far as additives and longevity? Anyway, we sell M1 and M1EP (limited weights on the EP) side by side at my store. For most people it...

My neighbor's Caddy STS eats less M1 than it did any dino. Depends on where it's "using oil", and why. I tend to suspect rings with the northstars, his burns next to none now. High mileage oils are also a little thicker, in addition to the extra additives, so it helps slow/stop burning and...

I'd agree with Johnny, 10w30 seems to do better in the older Northstars. I've been using Havoline or Castrol GTX 10w30 in my sister's 97 Deville. Some of them burn more oil than others, and I know it is NOT just because they're not being driven hard. Not every N* is built equal. Hers eats 2-3...

The FTC always settles for less in the end. They're doing it right now with television. So they gave them a $1,000,000 pay-back-your-customers-for-false-advertising slap on the wrist and said don't do it again. That doesn't mean that zmax's testing didn't show extra wear, and that the FTC's...
