Swapped out the valve cover gasket set last night

 

Off with the snowtires (I'm in the Pacific Northwest...little chance of snow here) on with the summer tires. YAY!!!!! I sure missed that cornering grip.

 

Living in Bend, I dare not take my snow tires off till.......June or there about. Was 65 on Sun. Looks like snow again tonight.

 

K&N released a new version of the Apollo intake I have. I'll be upgrading to the Orion once she gets delivered. The Orion's filter surface area is larger and the base flange has a 76mm diameter up from 70mm which is the main reason I'm upgrading. It's very similar what I have but it'll look better and has an improved flow design.- https://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?prod=54-5000&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInILYvqzx2QIVijyBCh2wfQG1EAAYASAAEgLSKvD_BwEN New one-

Agreed. He is a handful already... and he's still a baby, sleeping most of the day. But it's certainly filling the emptiness in the house.

 

Somehow I don't seen you driving a minivan full of kids with corded tires. And, perhaps "chewing out" was the wrong choice of words. I will point out the problem, which I've done many times and, most of the time time, the driver is shocked to see the cords. They didn't even know.

BTW, the car that minivan could crash into could be a blue and white MIN cooper with me inside. So, it is my own business.

Finally got off my ass and finished the mounting situation for the new intake "box".

 

Because they are uneducated.

 

I don't like Amsoil, because I don't like the way it is marketed.

I'm sure it is fine oil, but it is not any better than other premium synthetics that I don't have to buy out of some guy's trunk.

 

Absolutely no reason to buy these boutique oils unless you are pushing the oil/engine to the very edge. Maintain a decent oil change interval and all of the synthetics are going to perform as req'd.
Want proof, just send in a few samples of your oil for analysis at your scheduled oil change interval. That will tell you all you need to know.

 

Didn't mean to start a debate I received verification from Amsoil-"With the exception of our Break-in Oil and Semi-Synthetic Marine Oil, all of our oils are full synthetic.".

 

Heck no problem a little debate is good. Keeps us on our toes.

 

Washed mine yesterday. Will be doing some injector cleaning today. P2096 popped up today. Hoping that will fix it.
