Dura lube is $15 bucks at walmart with a $10 rebate. Think its worth it? anybody have any luck with these engine treatments?
and a butt load of traffic! i grew up in OC....NO THANKS! id never move back!Nice. In Cal we get winterized coyote apee.
Are you sure that's not detonation ?Yep. Very noticeable at high RPM.
I videotape a lot at the lake with an onboard camera, and you can clearly hear a difference on the recording, and by ear. Without the boost, the engine was slightly rattly sounding. With the boost, it has more of a deep rumble to it. Not a hint of misfire.
I'm somewhat shocked )eek)I'm a firm believer in the "slick 50 type" additives. I have personal experience with Durolube.....An engine that had no oil pressure ran the last two laps in the final at Burley with the prolite on........Finished the race. Took it apart a few weeks later and all the bearings were "coppered", yet there was zero crankshaft damage, no cam damage, etc etc......That engine should have scattered, but it didn't. I try to add one of the many additives after the rings have seated...Sure wish I would've had it in the engine at Long Beach last year.........Ray
I have used Slick 50 in some of my engines and I firmly believe that it is beneficial and will cause no harm.
Slick 50 has been around a long time,your right,no harm. Not sure of the benefits of Marvel Mystery oil in the fuel,it has been around a long time also.
Good news. I am a believer that with todays better (although no zinc) oils, there is NO REASON to run such heavy oil. Especially in a boat motor that is equipped with an oil cooler. Why waste the HP?I ran Mobil 1 5w 30 in my SBC(550 HP @ 5800) for 4 seasons and when I tore the motor down for a rebuild the bearings looked great.. I'm a beleaver
I change oil/filter every season. I run Royal Purple synthetic oil in the boat. I'm a big fan of Lucas oil products and use it in the transmission in my truck. I was going to add a quart of Lucas oil additive with the Royal Purple for extra insurance but the Pep Boys mechanic said it wasn't needed. What do you guys think????
