air filter and oil

This is not the first caddie that I used the same combination and had similar results the 2000 escalade 5.7 also ran much better . So explain how it ,all three ran better no more misfires do you think everything works like you read or been told? Explain how if the computer adjusts for clean or dirty and it makes no difference. Do you believe it can truly compensate that well. It cant adjust for everything less turbulance is the key much like aero dynamics same principle . Yes i understand what your saying but you can not explain the gain I have with either and not done same time either. So you must think this is a lie or exageration because you cant comprehend or understand it. Well there are many things we can comprehend or understand they just are. There isnt a computer than can compensate for every aspect. Yes they all had more power. All ran with little or no missfires after . Missfires are direct influence on mpg as it is fuel unburned efficiently . Dont have logs im not into it like some just doing what works , you dont believe thats fine I dont care what you think this works for me if you have not tried this how can you disprove this , oh yea you read it somewhere that is someones opinion not fact. Explain why there are misfires before and now there is not ,you cant you cant substantiate it either.

As was said it can adjust fuel to air ratio it can not change turbulent air flow.Any of these ring a bell path of least resistance straight line .And I am not the only one who gained mpgs from synthetic oil really you dont comprehend less friction less heat less fuel used to do the same amount of work. Any restriction is a problem that can create turbulence. Do you believe simple mods cant increase mpg oem does it better no it is mass production and cost control. What would happen if you could atomize fuel into a smaller particulate size and better the air fuel mix well you would get a better burn. Ok picture an oil furnace nozzle thats dirty it spits does not atomize properly therefore requires more fuel to generate more heat carbon form from the incomplete burn do some research take the blinders off.

Oh, for Pete's sake. You do realize that synthetic oil of a given viscosity and mineral oil (which most synthetics are--highly refined base mineral oils) of the same viscosity have the same resistance to flow, right? Synthetic oils last longer because they require fewer friction modifiers to achieve the same viscosity range as a mineral oil; that is their benefit. They do not reduce friction or heat. As I posted in your other thread: if you claim these extraordinary results, show us the accurate fuel logs to prove it.

syns

First syns have less friction on start up vs pet based oils need to be warmed to lubricate as designed 2 impurities absorb heat and as they break down deposit in the engine absorbing heat and blocking heat transfer surely you have taken a few engines apart and seen this . The oil I use is fully syn no mineral base or pet base . So directly no you are correct there but pet oils break down quickly and their ability to reduce friction diminishes quickly. As the oil breaks down it decays and its abilities suck as reducing friction do diminish. Dont have fuel logs just did this . Have you ever used either k&n or mobil 1 ? It would be my guess you have not and are going by what you have read. I have gained a lesser usage of gas and that is all I care about. I dont give a rats a-- what anyone thinks and could care less . Do you honestly believe all these posts of rediculous mpg s. You really think every one of them is 1 truthful 2 honest 3 accurate , sorry But I find it rarher hard to believe . So if it was to be true why have they not made the attempt to prove it with a reputable third party that can document it. You know dyno accurately measure volume of fuel that sort of thing because frankly fuel logs are proof of what some ones word not facts. Is not this forum word of mouth based on honest entries that are more accurate than most are capable of.

I think this is why you're finding a lot of resistance to your claims Charles. Many of us have used these products, and not seeing large increases in mileage.

YOu said, "Dont have fuel logs just did this . Have you ever used either k&n or mobil 1 ? It would be my guess you have not and are going by what you have read."
Have you ever read any posts here?
Have you ever used the search button here?

That would obviously be a big NO on your part!!!

there are numerous threads on filters and synthetic oils. Try searching before you call people out.

so much fun....so little time......
1.) how do you use a dyno to prove aerodynamic improvements? You don't use dyno to check mpg.
2. soooooo, we are supposed to believe you.......who has no facts, as opposed to posters who document and prove what they say?
3. Do you even know what a-b-a testing is?
4. I can think of at least 3 posters who documented a-b-a testing and DID NOT get the result they were looking for. or maybe they were lying to keep their success a secret....
