[wrenchin] Is there anything you guys do different out here, fluids or maintanince wise, to deal with the High heat and dry enviroment? Thanks


Oh yeah spotted another Silver SVT tonight, on Main in Mesa.
Hmmm compatition.

i just switched to royal purple synthetic.

Gotta love that Purple. Still use'in 5w20 or do you go heavier?

the svt actually requires 5w30 so that's what i put in mine.

i could have been the svt in mesa ive got friends at main and 56'th

I just check the fluids regularly and keep an eye on that battery. The heat and dust are tuff.

Royal Purple, Wetter Water.

royal purple in the engine and royal purple ice in the coolant

I've been using Castrol Syntec Since I got My ZX3 back in 2000 and Put in the Castrol in my SVT right away when I got it back in Feb 2008. I even used it when I had my first car: 1988 Honda Civic HB as well as my wife's prior car: 2001 Toyota Celica. I plan on using it on my wife new ride: 2007 Honda CRV. I'm also planning on buying a 2008 BMW 128i, and when the time comes, Castrol Syntec in that[thumb]

According to BMW, the two approved brands of 5w30 synthetic oils are Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec.

Hope this helps.

talking of treatment i used the gas treatment bottles that i use in the

gas tank and some how i get better gas mileage, then i used the fuel

injection cleaner you can buy at the gas station or wal mart and

some how the stuff cleaned my full injection lines.
