BND Automotive and Quantum Blue Oil - First Impressions

i ordered motor oiul for a 97 grand am and 04 explorer alomg with oil for the gear boxes in the explorer. I just cant get away from the dang dodge engine oil warranty

Like I said either lie to them when you do have a problem, change the filter and say it's only been a 5,000 interval, or just change your oil every 6 grand but it be very expensive. Not like a dealership to send out an oil analysis for it. Besides if the oil doesn't sludge then they would have no excuse to do that. But lifetime powertrain is pretty good.

Ok I have an update on the ACES IV

First off on the Charger 59,000 miles, It has about 2000 miles on with the ACES IV on it. First thing is the HEMI tick has decreased considerably. Fuel economy is the same even with running the A/C much more lately. The car is more resonsive when you give it gas and I think that is part of the problem with the gas mileage is the wife his harder on the gas now with the newfound power. The nice thing is, since 93 octane is needed with the predator tune and now I can run 89 the cost of the ACES IV is a wash.

Second car 2004 Explorer88,000 miles, not much to report since it has only bee driven about 200 miles in the past month.

Third car 97 Grand Am 3.1L 128,000 miles, This is by far the largest improvement. The car runs so much smoother. Gas mileage has increased from 20 MPG without A/C to 21-.5 MPG with the A/C on the past 2 weeks. As of right now I figure the ACES IV is only costing me about 9 cents per gallon to use because of the increase in gas mileage, that will inporove when to some solid numbers during cooler seasons and the A/C is not on.

I also have on order oil and filter for all three cars, and oil for the gearboxes on the Explorer. I can't wait to see what happens.

Talk to Brian, he said that if you run a premium tune you should still run the suggested gas for the tune, I don't think it would be detrimental to anything just as a matter cause he said people were displease with performance cause they ran ACES IV with low gas and a premium tune. Prolly some science behind it knowing Brian, I run 91 on the superchips and well put 93, still win win but can't seem to figure out what the difference is between running 93 on a 91 tune but with 93 being converted to 102, still.

Oh and what was your work around for your oil with the Charger? Are you going just 6 thou before you change or the full 10?

Mo, I will buy oil every six months, make a copy of the reciept and then return the oil.

Yeah I can say that most of the HEMI tick went away but that's just prolly just my mind. I hear it but I don't have it as loud even with the cover off. But other than that the car has been pretty good.

Well, Mo, you listened to my Aces IV-infused hemi @ the Unlawful, with the hole in the hood and shaker...thoughts?

I hardly heard a tick at all.

I don't know about this oil you guys are talking about but it sounds kinda like the Ames oil I use except it go's for 25000 between changes..
