Thank you, they are proving rather challenging to make. I am glad it is helping.

That strategy doesn't work very well for the vast majority of cases in my experience. Ultimately, the choice to perform maintenance is everyones to make individually. I just want to give my customers my professional opinion to help them prolong the reliability of their vehicles. That all.

Thanks Lance, we look forward to seeing you!

That is true, mostly. I have done a lot of homework on this subject. Distributors have a hard time with me because I dont just take a salesman's word, I need to see the facts. The truth is, most transmission fluid (and many other fluids for that matter) are made from the same base stock, which is such high quality at this point that the differences in specs are not as varied as some may think. All it takes to meet the specification of one manufacturers fluid is to just add an additive or two. As long as those additives don't interfere with another specification, it works great. Its like using mobil 1 instead of house brand X, you cant go wrong with a higher grade or specification. We have a very detailed list of fluids that are covered in the additive packages in the Havoline ATF we use. But, all that said, I understand if someone just wants the fluid out of the OES bottle. We carry those as well and can absolutely do that.

It would make sense that they would allow the engine to make more power by not holding it back.

Thanks Lance. I am glad you enjoy them. I have had fun making them. I started making shorts too. They will be out soon.

You are very welcome sir, thanks for watching. I hope these help the community.

Thank you for the feedback Jon. Great job, your vehicle will serve you well with that mindset.

Thanks Lance! I have been talking about doing this for years. It is really cool to be able to do it.

You are very welcome, thank you for the feedback!

I am not an engineer, but I understand why they are used. We just do our best to help people deal with things that we can't change. Understanding the problem and how to avoid it is what we are after.

I’ve specialized in rebuilding primarily Asian import engines for years and the use of low tension rings coupled with ever increasing oil change intervals have created oil consumption problems which various manufacturers. NPR has been a prominent supplier of rings for the biggest names in the Asian market. I’ve had great success using aftermarket premium rings from Hastings and several others. Hastings and Sealed Power both offer steel rings with either chrome or moly coatings that work great. Toyota produced one engine in particular that was notorious for oil consumption due to its rings clogging up and I’ve used it as a test vehicle for Aftermarket rings coupled with sound oil change intervals. The owner of the car puts crazy amounts of highway miles on the car and it’s got about 225K miles on it since it had an inframe refresh and it still has very little oil consumption between 5K interval oil changes. Usually about 1/2-3/4 of a qt.

Low tension rings aren't crap. We have been using them in the racing world for many years! They require the best fuel and a good synthetic Oil changed regularly 😂

Thanks!
