You're still on board with the crowd who thinks high wear metals are OK when running Red Line? Something about that just doesn't seem to sit quite right with me. I did get phenomenal gas mileage with Red Line which would indicate less friction but why would it be peeling off more metal then...

GC is an easy, safe bet. Like jdub said. If you REALLY like to tinker like I do, and have an accurate way of measuring oil temp and pressure then you can try thinner stuff. UOAs are your friend, but any synthetic (even if its only grp III) in the proper viscosity will work just fine. Getting...

My vote - Tanabe. Technologically they are superior, even if not adjustable.

99% sure you need them. How else will they peel you out of the car after you smash it up?

Yea... we know. ;)

I've been watching for one for a couple years now... needless to say I have come up with nothing.

Looks like it won to me too. Regardless that's one impressive Transit.

LOL. Nice timing, looks like I'm not the only one with that slightly leaky HG problem. You seem to have a nearly identical problem. Edit that last post... how long did you run on that oil? I doubt it was 137,500 miles... ;)

It's their 1st Cup victory... not 1st in NASCAR....I think.

-The reason for the relatively thin oil and very long OCI were simply because I was curious to see what would happen. -It would seem that I have a trickle of a BHG or something going on for coolant contamination. It appears to very slowly be getting worse compared to other UOAs. Those...

Would standard "bottom end" bearing material be elevated if a stock CT rapidly went south over the course of an OCI? I could post my UOA, however I'm afraid there are more things going on and exceed "normal" conditions. I don't think it would be a fair comparison for the oil if someone were...

I've been running mine like this on 93 octane with the stock ECU for just under 1 year now (Daily) with no problems what-so-ever. A couple cents more per gallon just isn't worth crying over, especially when you see your mileage increase from running leaner than stoich; while maintaining the...

Methinks you should not propagate it as gospel then. Our cars can pretty easily hit 110-115C coolant temp after being shut off on a 90*F day. According to that guy, you would see up to 15 thousandths of deformation every time you drove the car, assuming overheating means anything over ~88C and...

I'd be happy to throw ya a couple bucks to do an analysis!

Just hope you don't need to run <40 psi on one.

Where did you get that "spec" from?

LOL, thats a race car... not a gutted interior.

No vac leak. MKIV pump.
