    My engine has been happier with this Motul, than with the old Amsoil stuff I used to use.

    Engine is a little quieter, and cams/head were cleaner.

    I'm gonna put AC Delco Dexos oil in rotella bottles and swap them into @Raider's garage. A little bit of GM will be in that car eventually.

    No.

    Remember Rally Sport Direct? They were a sponsor of MSF once, and posted up awesome how to's. Anyway...

    They have sales that include Motul, and when they do it's cheaper than amazon shipping (non-prime rate). So I usually stock up on a gallon or two when they do.

    500 miles on the new internals, so did a 3rd gear (33) and a pair of 4th gear pulls. I missed boost!

    So far, she's sound well. No low pressure! 500 miles or so, now to put the next fire out... A cutting out oem stereo. Number 2 now. It's on but not working. Checked connections too.

    Eonon is solid if you're staying stock speakers but if you're adding an amp and upgrading speakers the sound quality of the head unit can't keep up.

    I think I might be in the same boat.

    Road trip from the previous week showed me how pathetic the stock bose speakers are getting. I tried looking up an amp and speaker set to keep the stock head unit (I wanted to keep the stock head unit), but once you add up harnesses it's just as expensive as getting an aftermarket head unit.

    Might be time for a full radio upgrade. :BangHead:

    Nope, the preamps just aren't a good clean signal. And the eq on the unit just created even more of a mess. Unless they have changed recently I spent a ton of time trying to make it work and it never sounded even close to as good as a legit Android auto head unit. I have an audio install thread that shows entering I used and it sounds amazing. You don't need to go as wild on the sounds deadening and such but I did it more so as an adventure.

    I have Bose, tends to make it tough to upgrade amp etc.

    I like my Eonon plenty for the price. I don't use the ROM equalizer to adjust tone but rather the one that's built into the audio program I use. Stock Bose speakers for now but I did install a more proper sub in place of the garbage oem one.
