Can you safely mix synthetic with dino? do half and half? does it defeat the purpose?

I wouldn't but if you are low on oil and its all you have, it beats have not enough oil..
Whether it's safe or not i cant say anything but, i wouldn't.

you can do the same thing to seafoam

EJeff8

Is pouring the seafoam into the tank not as effective then?

using too much seafoam can fry your rings because it takes all the lubercation off the cylinder walls... thiers a post about it... search. id only use it if u have high mileage...

EJeff8

You count 121xxx as high?

^ psh, a honda i just broken in at that lol.

I wouldnt use seafoam, you can kill your rings fast with that crap.

EJeff8

Exactly what I was thinking haha. I have a Y7 block swap anyways, so the block is young. I didn't think it was a need, they just made it sound like necessary. I have some super heavy duty FI cleaner the dude at Autozone gave me for my old Probe. I might pop it in the Civ. Apparently, it's like old school and if you hate your neighbor, this is what you use to peel his paint.

Awesome.

air craft remover is faster

EJeff8

To clean my FIs or remove my dick neighbor's paint job? Or all of the above?

b20hatchek

paint job, it can eat through thin metal trust me on this

98civdx

it will lol, same thing with break fuild...

We seafoamed 2 of my friends cars at the same time and the amount of smoke, spooked a neighboor and she called cops and fire department showed up lol

GotamaHuy

just curious, can you go from synthetic to non

EJeff8

Think that Pennzoil Ultra has any hype behind it? I'm hesitant to stray away from my HM oil to try this "factory clean oil". Any Opinions?

EJeff8

Of course.

98civdx

Yea, well they a commercial with a ferria in it lol, my friends dad will not use anything besides penzoil.. There are other oils that have been around for a long time that can clean your enigne, They may just be saying "factory clean" I guess what i am saying is i dont belive it untill i see proof.

EJeff8

Same here. I used Penny in my Probe but was afraid when I started hearing more Penny wax horror stories than I wanted to. I'm going to give the Civ a change with Quaker HM soon. Quaker seems like ***** to the wall crap.
