I had a super clean Integra GSR sedan. Let me tell you about perfect timing. A dust devil whipped up and came off of the shoulder and began to cross the freeway. Right when it when it hit my lane, it whipped up a flattened soda pop can, and right in to my radiator it went.

If you are near a Fleet Farm, stock up if you can and are fond of this oil. I run it in all my vehicles.

Enjoy!

That's a killer deal, unfortunately it looks like fleet farm isn't anywhere close to me. But if it was I would pick some of that up. It's excellent oil.

Amazon, AutoZone, eBay. Get T6 anywhere.

I had already "up-armored" the intake screen as you can see in the picture and added a piece of pantyhose for dust reduction, so I guess it's do the whole front mesh now...

I hope my newish radiator survives a bit longer since I just finished replacing the tank and header plate gasket on the right side

Sometimes they do. Those specials are often from Shell, not the vendor.
I run T6 in my X5 and I pay $24 - $26 most times. But I have paid $21 a couple times.

T6 is great stuff! I remember it having alot of zinc which engines love? I have used it a few times in an old Non vanos M62 but I have been sticking to Castrol 0w40 in both of my M62TUs...
