Next your going to tell me your mercedes 240d lasted a long time because of synthetic


Out of curiosity and being that you’re doubting the actually proven effects of higher concentrations of synthetic “HELPS” decrease wear and tear, what’s the oil and filter combination you use?

I’m not doubting its better, I’m doubting it’s “that” much better. I’m also doubting your civic would not be in nearly the same condition had you used regular oil. I use mobile 1 extended performance.

A civic with a long lasting drivetrain is your anecdotal evidence?

 

I once bought a a ‘95 civic somebody never changed the oil it, it had 95k miles on it and a hole in the block where the rod punctured it. I could literally stick my fist into the block.

 

well guess what, I still drove that civic for 2 miles to a mechanic. Yes, a civic that had no oil in it, had been sitting for a year, with a hole in the block, down a cylinder, still drove 2 miles.

 

you could probably put olive oil into 90’s civic crankcase and it’s get you to 200k

 

Synthetic was not why it lasted a long time

SO...you think that was my point? Reading comprehension issues?

I made no statement whatsoever about the length of motor life.  

 

Hum....well.....nothing I can do about that except invite you read it again. You're not even warm.

 

Maybe you will understand I was in agreement with your statement as referenced. Here, I'll reference again.

The engines last far longer than the body, interior, frame, ancillary engine pieces, transmission. I think you’re wasting money using a considerably more expensive oil.

 

 You read with blood in your eyes. 

Chill.

Wrong person, I’ve never owned Honda’s.

 

You use Mobil1 extended oil based on it having added synthetics giving added engine protection against wear and tear adding additional cleaning additives prolonging it’s use correct?

 

So why wouldn’t you even entertain the fact and proven independent testing that oil with 100% synthetic is better than dino oil mixed with synthetic? Years and years of independent and proven testing shows that oils made of 100% synthetic completely blow away everything Mobil1 and other Full Synthetic competitors have to offer by at least 4X. It’s not hype, it’s independent tests that’s what gives the answer to which oil best protects your engine which in return prolongs you’re engines internals.

 

Everyone should buy whatever they want, just know what you’re buying and putting into your engine especially if you’re doing long OCI’s.

 

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, you research what you buy everyday, see it for yourself, anything well marketed can make you over look the real ingredients and in the end isn’t this what we all strive for, helping one another.

Back to topic My experience has been terrible so far owning this 2017 SIlverado LTZ Z71.

 

Right how it has 40,890 on it, and is currently in shop.... again... Bought it this January with 34k on it drove it for 4 months put like 3k on it, enough to get out of B2B warranty, then had to have entire engine replaced due to cylinder/piston damage in #4.

 

It has eaten 5 fuel injectors so far.

 

Right now it is in the shop because the trans decided it didn't want to shift out of 3rd.

 

At this point I'm about to just off load this POS for about anything other than a chevy lol.

 

Forgot to add! They gave me a 2019 SIlverado LT with 2k miles.. trans STILL clunks into and out of gears like my 17 lol.

I have always had great luck with new chevys. I never buy one unless its at least 2 model years old, and even better - buy the last year of an old model; you will get a smokin deal, and the manufacturing bugs are all worked out...

Yeah guess I really shouldn't complain about a "Gm Certified" used vehicle. I'll remember that one. LOL

 

Though I guess Gm did certify it was used.

My 14' is right at 70k now, considering changing diff fluids and trans fluid.

The diff and transfer case fluid change is very easy. I'm not a mechanic, I did it all a few hours, taking my time and having beers. I was surprised at how easy it is. A member posted a how to that made it super easy. DO IT! 

The trans fluid on the other hand, I'm going to have someone else do it.

Good job! I had a G2 Diff cover installed a couple years ago and since then I find myself changing it every other oil change just because it’s soooooo simple. Don’t forget, your transfer case and if you’ve got a 4x4, please change your front Diff too. Be safe and remember to vote Trump2020!

yeah I did front and rear diff and transfer case at 50K. The rear diff fluid was dark but the front and transfer case weren't that bad. Peace of mind though. I know it was done, properly. I'm voting in person to ensure my vote is counted. In PA a certain party has been caught throwing the opposing party's ballots in the trash. There are a lot of dead, ineligible and people casting multiple votes in PA. Especially in the urban areas where one party dominates the population.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
