mburnickas Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Erik- Do not get me wrong, there are other good oils out there; but for me and my testing Amsoil wins (for my duration). You will be fine with GC I just do not know how well or good it would be to others. Hard to tell without testing..Sorry If you used LC20 and GC you can go 7,500+ no problem. And that is VERY VERY conservative. Again hard to tell with UOA.s LC20 conditions seals (not swelling), cleans internals, cleans rings, stabilizes TBN, reduces frictions bigtime etc. LC20 is an addative that was introduced to be. I was like, “I do not need that but they said try it”. I did and the UOA show it works bigtime. The first time you use it, it will turn oil black very soon. It is normal but it [LC20] still adds lubricity etc. It is an amazing product. Lastly, water will work better then seafoam for intake cleaning. If you want to get REAL clean use Amsoil Power Foam. The stuff is worth its weight in gold (1oz-$980)! LOL Yes on the seal. It is like $9 per seal I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your help! -Erik I was joking. Spend the $6 and get Amsoil Power Foam. 10000X better then water for intake cleaning. The VC seals are about $9 from OEM.

EMTtech Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 oh, I didn't realize that LC20 was made by the same company as FP60. Ive been using that for ages, awesome! next time I get a gallon of FP60, Ill get myself a jug of LC20 too, ill be putting on the new VC gasket in a day or two. Ill post up some pics of my adventure if people would like, Thanks again, -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMTtech Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I finally got around to changing the gasket, and wow. that was not as hard as I was anticipating :D I attached a pic of the open cover (I assume this looks A-OK) I have a link to the rest of the pics too (sorry for the random ones, they were trying to show hidden nuts) http://picasaweb.google.com/EMTtech/ES300VCGasketReplacement -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
