I'm told Berryman B-12 helps eliminate engine lifter noise if put in the crankcase just before an oil change and ran for 15 minutes. True or not?

Sorry but I do not know if true or not on this question. I do know it cleaned a carburetor on a pressure washer that had been sitting for 5-6 years with old fuel and black gummed up carb. Poured thru air cleaner (vertical carb) and in 10 minutes it cranked and runs like new. I would never have believed if I had not seen it with my own eyes. I feel sure if you put into your crankcase and run for 15 minutes it will clean out engine but would also suggest running a bottle thru your gas tank also and I think you will be amazed. My old 2001 Nissan Pathfinder gained 3 GPM after one bottle thru gas tank. These things I do know for sure. I would suggest you ask Berryman directly and if they say it is so I am certain it will be so. I am not from Missouri but I still have to be shown on stuff like this and I am a believer in Berryman B12.

will clean engine, but it thins oil and could remove scale from valve covers that could cause problems. all depends on how clean your engine is inside.

Only by a knowledgeable professional. With advances in electronic management systems in cars produced the last 15-20 years, Berryman no longer recommends this application in the hands of "Do-It-Yourselfers" without the proper equipment to protect electronic sensors and computers

Run the engine for a bit, or do it after a drive. It pumps much quicker and easier when the oil is hot.

NO! This tool DOES require oiling in order to lubricate the O-rings as explained in the Owners Manual and should be run at no more than 85PSI at the tool.

Gary, this is probably one of the better upgrades I have done to my bike. For the money you get better oil cooling, easy on and off cleaning and no more throw away filters. I have always changed my oil frequently and this awesome filter set up makes it easier than ever. It also adds a bit of bling to the front end. I get asked all the time what it is and where did I get it!

Can't hurt for at least one oil Change. I don't think the "rattle" will go away, immediately, but it's my understanding that Slick 50 "coats" the moving parts with a "teflon-like" film. It's funny you bring this up: I had an '07 Pontiac with the same valve clatter/rattle. I switched to a full synthetic oil in a lighter weight (5W30) and the rattle went away. That Pontiac had 450K-miles on it when I traded it, last summer. I AM a Slick-50 man but I prefer the original formula and I'm not sure the heavier viscosity oil products would help your problem. Today, I think I'd try the 5W30 in either a synthetic blend; or, maybe, even, a straight oil. What have you got to loose....? Good luck. Can't hurt for at least one oil Change.

I installed a Flowmaster axle back muffler on my 11' Jeep, it improved torque and a little fuel economy. BUT THE DRONE WAS TERRIBLE. I installed the Vibrant resonator and it made a huge difference by eliminating nearly all of the drone along with the "ricer" sound that came with the muffler. With no noticeable power loss.

It's a 4-cycle engine not a 2-cycle engine so it needs oil for the engine crankcase. You do not have to mix the gas.

Yes, this is the oil pressure sensor you need. The sensor is located on the back of the motor, next to the firewall behind the intake. It is somewhat difficult to get to, but if you have a socket wrench with a swivel, it is not to bad to change. Can be done in about 15-20 minutes.

I have nothing to add to these excellent comments except that you would be amazed at how much work I have done with my Neiko Jack Hammer and I have never changed the oil. I just check the site glass. Unless you are going to have a crew running this hammer ever week it would be years if ever before you would need to change the oil. The manual says to change it more often but it does not get dirty like motor oil and there is nothing to really cause it to break down.

I installed an air filter from napa along with a 4" turbo back exhaust at the same time as the tuner. Got 2 to 3 mpgs more on the highest setting. I leave it there all the time except for when im towing heavy I put it on Tow mode. So to answer, yes, you change it when you want and leave it alone if your happy where it is. Good tuner to start with.

If you cut the hole, you have to use the sound generator. I didnt cut the hole and i removed the whole sound generator system. It really cleaned up my engine bay. You get less engine noise in the cabin, but a better sound when the engine is revved up

Go with pulstar, and if carburetor bike then it may take awhile to notice a change, and if fuel injected, your supposed to disconnect battery. For. 5 mins, I used these for years on harley

Changing the oil on this and all of my small engine equipment always seems more annoying than it ought to be. I purchased a PELA oil extractor (a hand vacuum pump that sucks the oil from the dipstick port at the end of season, when the engine is warm but not hot), this has made the task cleaner/simpler and has been a worthwhile purchase.

If you mean JASO rating I think that is for 4 stroke oils. This is a 2 stroke oil so it has no rating for crankcase or clutch use.

I was following the advise of another Harley rider and some information that I found on the internet. I am not a mechanic just trying something different. So far I only have about 200 miles on this oil in my transmission however have noticed a smother shift otherwise no difference. I am running this in the transmission on my 2007 Road King Classic.

Yes, it is needed to buy engine oil before you can run the machine. I used 5W-30 engine oil.

This will head the oil pan and make starting much easier. This is the second unit I purchased. I have an inexpensive Chinese tractor and it works great. I don't think you need anything more. It will keep your engine above the temperature needed to start the engine and keep the diesel liquid and not jelling.
