Sorry there has been like 563 posts about nothing to do with oil changes at all.. Hard to keep track, plus I'm on my phone so I can't see the whole thread at a time.. Only a few posts.

yeah, kind of morphed into a discussion on rolling parts not lube. And it got kind of tense a few posts.

Ha, ya. All in all. I change my oil every 4,000k or as it happens to be. every month. I use the JD filter and usually run 5w40 Synthetic Duron XL Petro-Canada Oil. It has the JX extreme testing spec. Very good to look out for.
I also before changes, as it is usually a little lower add 1liter of diesel to the oil and idle it for 25 min.
But I need to removed the oil cooler and change the o-rings in there. leaks around my filter mount.
Peace.
Oh and it in cold cold Winterpeg today is 36 degrees Celsius and 99 percent humidity.
There goes my balls, I just sweat them off.

Hmmmm... I haven't used an engine flush in about 2 decades. 1 liter is about 20% of full oil capacity. I wonder if it's safe to thin the oil that much. At idle, it probably isn't a huge deal, but I wonder if adding about half a liter would be better/safer.
If you don't extend the oil changes by a rediculous number and use a quality filter, I'm wondering if it's needed at all.

i like dumping in a quart of ATF.. it has soo much detergent in it, and it cleans fast.. i should have taken before and after pics of my newest 8v that i flushed like that.. i was a quart low, so i topped back up with ATF, and my oil wasnt even that dark yet.. boy, the next few times i checked my oil, the stuff on the dip stick was getting darker. and got darker every time i checked, until i drained the oil.. i ran that quart for probably a week or more. under the valve cover, it was nasty before i ATF'd it.. and it was about spotless after the treatment..

Won't ATF damage your seals? I hear stories of it causing seals to leak.

if anything, it should SOFTEN your seals.. its not like i was running PURE ATF anyways..
ATF doesnt damage trans seals, and they BATHE in the stuff..

im sure if you ran way too much ATF, it might soften your seals enough to make them tear..
i would worry more about diesel, or bio-diesel softening the seals of the engine, rather than ATF..

Atf is one heck aof an amazing engine cleaner.. Works wonders with sticky noisy lifters!! If you run atf through and a seal starts leaking, it was probably shot anyhow.. Especially on an older engine as it was the crud that was keeping the oil in..

ok, so that kinda goes along with my experiences.. cause it did have a ticking lifter before i ATF'd it.. now the lifters only tick until the oil light goes out.. maybe 3-5 ticks then silent.
because the oil in my gasser wasnt very dirty when i dumped the ATF in, then about 500 miles later, it was basically BLACK.
