That tranny fluid looks pretty burnt.

That tranny fluid looks pretty burnt.

According to people who supposedly are smarter and are paid more than me, the newer fluids pretty much appear burnt very quickly due to additives and rust inhibitors.
There was also more than likely some motor oil in that drain pan when I started the job.

Yeah we're very fortunate Kenny. Coastal properties are mostly out of reach to working folks like us now, but the family has owned this spot for 20 years odd now.

Same here man. The shacks are 800K now.

My cuz got the last building lot on Osborn Island just east of here. Very nice bay head there. Open view like yours.

If you were a tyranny with that many miles you'd look a bit burnt to ;-)

Just because they are paid more don't make them smarter.

You seem pretty damn sharp to me sir.

My aunt has cancer that has spread to ger lymph nodes. Doctors are saying just a few days left. Lost a older neighbor that i used to golf with on Saturday morning. Life is way too short.

Ed has too much common sense ( like most of us here) to deal with those high pd azzhats [emoji6]

Local dealership swears by dexos in the 4/6/8 engine's to prevent sludging and buildup
What are you're thoughts?

Dexos is the GM approved oil. Really, I don't see a problem with the oil itself. My problem is with the constantly increasing oil change intervals.
Nobody pulls the dipstick, and some oil life monitors go 5500-7000 miles before telling the driver it needs a change.

When it gets cold we have issues with low pressure on the active fuel management v8's.
Almost always they are at 4500-5000 since last change. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them to shorten that to 4000 tops and even 3000 is what I prefer..

Almost every oil company has an oil with the Dexos rating.

Morena e Hoa's and Kairau's.

Rain hasn't really turned up yet, but it will. Just hot. Might be a shed day.

Keep safe ay.

Here's what I currently have going.
One of the cleanest inside 2.4's I've seen, yet the chain is still loose-n-floppin..

As to ATF, Dexron6 and MerconLV are so similar it's not worth worrying about. One parameter was a couple of degrees C different I think. I use a Chevron Dex6 in my Ford 6R80 and the Honda.
Sealed for Life trans are an issue too. When you read the owners manual any hard service that us folks would consider normal usage, 4wd, towing, etc throws you into Change it every 80,000 km territory. So is it For Life or Not....

For your enjoyment
He’s up about 200 feet just under the aperture slope
Then down to the lower slope and the throat of the boiler

So he's in the convection section ay? Flue gases against water in the tubes.
