  1. Illusion Hey Smoothe, if the wife makes good meatloaf it must be good stuff...
  2. So then which is a better fuel as a whole for your motor...91 octane (premuim) or 87 octane with an additive with each fill up? It looks like the costs would be around the same when comparing the two.... I would still venture to guess the Premium fuel by itself may still be the better call... Plus when you think about it you got to carry around all these bottles go to the store and buy them and then remember to use one with each fill up... I think I will just stick with what works for me and that is using premium fuel as the dealership recommnends.... Good info. anyway... I am sure the fuel additives help and don't hurt though....
  3. I never liked meatloaf as I always thought it was too dry.... In a sandwich though it could be different story... Flavor...
  4. Vitamins Smoothe - whacha find in the ole fridge?
  5. Have we???? I wouldn't be suprised....... History has a way of repeating itself.. Remissive - Submissive
  6. 5 quarts is the norm... Maybe your oil was bone dry, in that case it may take 6... As long as the oil dip stick reads full and not over you are good...Too much oil could blow seals and cause problems...It is not good... It's better to have a little less oil then too much oil... Transmission is the same...
  7. If you paid thru paypal start a claim against this *BLEEP*...Mail him back the rear eibachs and demand your money back.... Tell him if he doesn't except the return you will give him a negative and start the claim... Tell him his ad was deceptive and misleading... If that doesn't work tell him you know where he lives and you will take out his family...(just kidding on that one)... :chairshot:
  8. Well what is the right additive then and how much does it cost with each full tank of gas? Curious, I've never used a fuel additives...... I've used the oil, radiator, and power steering fix leaks in the bottle but those don't always work... I am always a little skeptic about those quick fixes in a bottle or power in a bottle... Even the concentrated fuel injector cleaners in bottle I don't think are all that effective but do help.. I don't know enough about the fuel additives to comment on that, so I will take your word for it....
  9. Well, for alot of us are cars run perfect, we pull into a gas station and see a $.20 difference in price between regular and premium fuel... We think man does it really matter just because it says "premuim fuel only" on our cars... It's a legitimate thought for some of us that aren't that well paid... An extra $5 with every fill up can add up... Apparently, there is significant meaning to the label "premium fuel only"... Too bad though because gasoline is expensive if you drive alot.... PS.. Tractors and Geo Metro's aren't sexy....Austin Martin Vanquish is though..get it right guys...
  10. Ok, I got the lowdown on Regular or Premium fuels... If you do not run the recommended fuel in the Lexus motors you will run the risk of damage. It is not a sales advantage for a car to require premium fuel it is and engineering reality... Let me further explain - A "knock sensor" listens for detonation and if heard retards the timing to reduce cylinder pressure and supress said detonation. They only work properly if there is detonation to supress. Detonation is BAD period... mild can be tolerated but it cycle stresses parts and it is cumulitive. Reduced timing creates other problems and is to be avoided. It is far less damaging then detonation but it is something you don't want.. Lower then recommended octane fuels for our motors do this... I WILL NEVER RUN REGULAR GAS IN MY LEXUS AGAIN... This information was aquired from a very reputable source.... Don't go cheap fellas, it will bite you in the !Removed! in the long run... I am now a believer...
  11. A smart man always looks for easy ways to save money...So he can later use that money to build his car up and go faster
