Ugh. I looked in to doing Stage 4, and basically it ain't worth it. You need the complete Euro exhaust manifold, crossover, and exhaust pipes. It's not just one or two pieces, you need to do...

If your EGR is working properly and seals tightly, the BB trick is great. Better yet remove all the vacuum plumbing associated & clean up the engine compartment. The "stage 2" mod involves making a...

kobeck, your plan is AOK. You don't really want to do analysis on the first change (maybe two) after switching a car that has been on dino for years, because it will flush out some old buildup. That...

That's another good point. The interval specified in the owner's manuals was based on the quality of oil commonly available at that time, i.e. back in the mid 1980's. When it comes to oils, well,...

Really! I'll have to take a peek at my owner's manual again. Stu's book as a whole slew of errors, I've been meaning to document them & post on the web somewhere (as well as send the list to Stu in...

Just to clarify my OPINIONS... I feel that with PAO synthetic oils, 61x engines are probably safe in the 5k-7.5k range without analysis, and 60x can bump that to 7.5k-10k without analysis. I don't...

Speedy, I *think* Royal Purple is good stuff but I'm not sure. Same with Motul. It also depends what country you're buying in, as mentioned earlier.

Michael, the TBN numbers seem to be fine with...

Almost. But 500 mile changes with triple flushes in between is preferred. Oh and don't forget to sacrifice a saucer of gasoline to the diesel gods afterwards, or your pistons will melt! :eek: :p...

Sadly, the same company sometimes ships different products in different countries. For example, some Castrol Syntec oils in Europe are Group IV/V, while we get the crappy Group III Syntec over here...

I'd leave the current fill in for 5000 and have that analyzed. The initial 1800 probably cleaned things pretty well. If the cost is not a problem, you could do the 3k followed by 5k, that's a little...
