I purchased a Vibe CD from a Genvibe member last week. I can't for the life of me remember who it was. I owe this person and would like to pay them back but I can't remember who it was. I know I'm losing my mind. Hopefully that person will see this and respond. For anyone that's interested I purchas...

I have a personal website I built myself with a little help from NSimkins. I also own the website and it's web address.Everyones probably tired of hearing about it. LOLhttp://www.PerformanceMotorOil.com

I love the set up! Nice job.

A dealer is going to say it would void your warranty. They lose money when you don't come in every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. The more you come in the more they make. They use fear as a way to comtrol customers.Fear works pretty good huh? Research this for yourself. As for Canada I would think you must h...

d_m_kolb

A dealer will do what ever you want for a price. You might be better off looking for a wrecked Toyota Celica, Toyota MR2, Vibe or Matrix from a junk yard. Buy it's transmission and then have someone or yourself install it.

d_m_kolb

Not changing your oil is not grounds for voiding your warranty. It would have to be proven through oil analysis that the oil was the cause of the failure. If the oil analysis came back "still good for continued use" the warranty by law would have to be kept.There are federal laws that prot...

I love the flateline. I will never purchase another barrel for this gun. I had problems with it at first, but it was because it wasn't installed just right. If the barrel isn't pushed in all the way, or isn't straight, your paint is everywhere but where you want it.I'm very happy with it.I wrote a r...

Oh no. The military keeps me fat and happy. I do sell AMSOIL products part time because I believe in them so much.

You might be interested in a AMSOIL drop in air filter. I have a test that was run on AMSOIL's 2 stage air filter and K&N air filter and the AMSOIL filter flowed just as well but filtered the air much better.It'll last the life of the vehicle because it only needs to be cleaned, reoiled and then...

quote:Derek --You've found a boost in fuel economy as well?Yes I personally have. I gained about 30 miles extra per tank since switching to AMSOIL. Most of my co-workers that have switched to AMSOIL say they have picked up around 40 to 50 miles extra per tank.It really does help fuel economy.

d_m_kolb

Yes AMSOIL warranty's it's products. If there products ever are shown to have caused a mechanical problem of any kind, AMSOIL will pick up the entire bill. Oil analysis would prove if the oil was the problem.Here is AMSOIL own warranty.http://www.performancemotoroil.com/Warranties_and_the_Magnuson.h...

This is for all you Mobil 1 users. When they say "Nothing out performs Mobil 1" they are dead wrong.http://www.performancemotoroil.com/Mobil_1_test

25,000 to 35,000 mile oil changes are possible because of the filter being used. AMSOIL Super Duty oil filters, filter in the range of between 3 and 10 microns. It can even filter water out of the oil to a certain extent. Your normal off the shelf filter at your local parts store filters in the rang...

Nova (Genvibe member) went to a GM function where they listened to comments of Vibe owners and he was told that GM and Pontiac employees do look at this website often.Nick is very correct on not being able to respond because of legal issues. Big brother is all ways watching. LOL

d_m_kolb

It's very easy for a dealership to scare a customer into thinking they can void your warranty. The dealer would much rather have you pay for repairs than the vehicle manufacturer because the vehicle manufacturer pays much less for the same repairs. Dealerships make a lot more money from customers th...

d_m_kolb

There is nothing wrong with this thread as everyone doesn't attack someone directly with the words they are saying.I am personally enjoying the reading (from both sides)Just play nice.

d_m_kolb

When your oil light comes on it means your oil pressure is gone. This normally means that you have no oil pumping through the engine. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE OR START IT FOR ANY REASON!Call your dealer and make them c ome get it. They will do this. Since you know there is a problem and then you dr...

d_m_kolb

Probably not. You'll probably have to purchase AMSOIL and either do the work yourself (It's not hard) or pay someone to do the work for you. Just make sure they actually put it in your vehicle! I have seen places take a product a customer wanted put in there vehicle do the service with there own pro...

This info was in a news letter that AMSOIL sent to me. They take for ever to update there website.

There have been many questions asked if anyone knew who produced automatic transmission fluid that covered Toyota's Type T and Type T-IV specifications. AMSOIL's ATF is now recommended for Toyota automatic transmissions as well as Honda's Z-1 automatic transmission fluids. I hope this help anyone th...

d_m_kolb

I got this info from http://www.newcelica.org. They have been having some trouble with this.

d_m_kolb

You have a good filter wrench. I personally wouldn't go out and purchase another filter wrench. The last person that installed your filter obversely had no clue about what they were doing.When you install a new oil filter you only hand tighten it. NEVER USE A WRENCH ON IT! Once the filter is slightl...

d_m_kolb

Here is the way I see. Let me know if you agree or not.Ok lets say there were two racecar owners with the same engine. Now one of those guys uses a cheap filter because he thinks that he'll get more oil flow through his engine if he uses a filter that filters let than a more efficient one.This filte...

This has been brought to the attention of the site owner and he'll make the final say so if it will happen or not.

5 Star Shine is pretty good stuff. It lasts 5 years.

d_m_kolb

Just so everyone knows, looking at your oil tell you practically nothing about whats going on inside your engine or how the oil is holding up.Just because oil is dark or black doesn't all ways mean it needs to be changed.If you can see metal shavings in your oil when changing it your probably way to...

d_m_kolb

I have spoken to a Pontiac contact I have and was told if you could have a aftermarket pulley made that would speed up the Supercharger, this would in turn make the engine produce more HP. You'd need a smaller diameter size pulley installed on the supercharger which would make the unit spin faster c...

d_m_kolb

Oil is not oil. All oils are different and preform differenty in different situations.A cheap conventional is just that (Cheap) and all though you may think your saving money at the time you wont be in the end.

d_m_kolb

Just the micro edge.

The main difference between Amsoil's 0W-30 and their 5W-30 is the 0W-30 is recommended for 35,000 miles or one year verses the 5W-30 which is recommended for 25,000 miles or one year.The 0W-30 has a more expensive additive package in it thus allowing the longer use.The 5W-30 is a superior oil as wel...

As much as it hurts me to say Amsoil does not make a trany fluid that is recommended for the Toyota transmissions The Vibe and Matrix use. What a difference it made in my 2001 Kia Spectra. Oh well.Has anyone run across a fully synthetic trany fluid compatible with the Toyota Auto trany? I haven't ye...

Good to see there are fellow paintballers here among us. LOLI'm going to be purchasing a Tippmann 98 Custom in about a month. I have found a incredible website with some unbelievable prices at http://www.shop4paintball.com The Tippmann runs $119.99 there. I have been playing with one for about a mon...

d_m_kolb

I'm curious to know if any of the members here are into paintball? I have recently gotten involved in it and all I can say is IT"S ADDICTIVE! I'll be buying my first paintball gun in about a month.I was just curious to know if anyone else plays?

d_m_kolb

It wouldn't be a bad idea by any means.

d_m_kolb

If your interested in a drop in Amsoil makes a 2 stage reusable filter that actually flows the same as a K&N but filters the air better for about half the price.http://www.performancemotoroil.com/KN_testPart # TS 113 (Vibe, Vibe GT, Matrix XR, Matrix XRS) 2 stage air filter runs $32.30.

I ran Mobil 1 in my 2001 Kia spectra for 8,500 miles to find out how the oil preformed under a some what small extended drain interval.Over all the oil did ok for this period and was told the oil could possibly go to 9,000 to 10,000 miles. The key word here is POSSIBLY. No longer though as the TBN l...

d_m_kolb

No there is no need to. The 3,000 mile oil change is only a myth the oil company's made up so as to make you change your oil more often making them more money. It's not needed. The same vehicles we drive here are being driven 12,000 to 15,000 miles in Europe and they are trying to get it raised to 1...

d_m_kolb

I change mine at 35,000 miles or one year. That's the honest truth.

d_m_kolb

It works. Try again.

d_m_kolb

Great pics!!!! Thanks for sharing.

One my website I have a cut through of a Amsoil Super Duty filter that will answer your question. I also have several charts of other oil filters as well.http://www.performancemotoroil.com/Super_duty_filters

Check out Flowmaster. You'll be very happy and have a very deep performance sound. Not the fart can noise you hear on Hondas

Prove that FRAM is as good as you say it is. I have seen testing results and testing results have been posted on genvibe.com that shows FRAM is by far one of the worst filters you could passably put on a engine. It is no where near anywhere near the numbers you stated. Everyone bashes Fram because i...

d_m_kolb

Just so everyone know Amsoil make their own filters on their facility in WI.On the comment that it doesn't matter what filter you use as long as it's changed every 3,000 miles is in my opinion crazy. I'd much rather use a filter that has been proven to filter in the 10 micron range than one that is ...

d_m_kolb

This is normally only true on higher mileage vehicles. Carbon builds up from gasoline deposits building up on valves and the top of the combustion chamber. The saver way to do this other than running the engine hard is to allow the the vehicle to warm up to operating temp. Take a spray bottle of wat...
