the point is Honda's are built right!!  they say if you forget to put oil in a honda motorcycle motor, nothing will happend to the crankshafts they can go foreve. those Jap's are amaizing !

I once bought a civic with a hole in the block. A rob had snapped.

 

I was getting the motor replaced. I wanted to see how long it would last. I started it up at like 9-10am and let it idle. Was still going at 3pm, there was literally no oil. I shut it off because it was just wasting gas.

So based on this experience I assume you have drained all your oil and are saving big time??

Another memory trigger. Many years ago before Amsoil even a traveling salesman stop at our shop. He had a trailer with a 4 cylinder engine bolted to it. He started it and lowered the oil pan with a crank and let it idle away. Probably an half an hour or better it ran. The product he was peddling was slick 50. My father was an STP believer. He put it in everything. The amount depending on what it was. Even in the radiator. After that demonstration slick 50 went into every engine until we started using Amsoil.

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
