As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
That number is incorrect, it's √i
My guess would be insolubles.Which one of those line items show clutch particles?
For what Motul costs, it does not appear to be anything special. From the UOA's I've seen for Rotella T6, it will outperform the results above by far.
Motul did not pass the finger test in 94" .
I happen to have some 4t 10-40 M1 that I will run some miles with and will test it and let you know if it's good.
Isn't your "finger test" a test of how much grit is in the oil?
Can you take a picture of some of that oil on a paper towel so we can see how dirty it is and maybe another pic of the used oil in a sample jar![]()
Yep, oil is dirty![]()
Technically since the 0W40 out flows the 15W50 2:1 it probably won't get dirty as fast, but now we are splitting hairs.![]()
If the oil is dirty you can see it's dirty right ? No need for electron microscope ... If the oil is wore out you can feel the diference . Take a drop of your M1 and rub it with your finger tips, then take a drop of the spent stuff you just dumped and do the same thing... you will be able to feel if it's broken down even if it looks dirty.Yes because the human eye is so much better than a digital spectrometer. Sounds like delusional grandeur to me, possible the result of too many taste tests...![]()
I wasn't going to say anything lolI don't care about oil analysis, I am over changing it to remove whatever metal etc, my engine is depositing to rub
and cause more wear in my engine. It is well known however, I am not a smart man.
