Cheap Gas, Sensor Failures & The Truth About Modern Motor Oil From the archives — September 19, 2015 (Hour 2). Ron opens the hour with a timely discussion on falling gas prices—and what “cheap gas” really means for your vehicle. Is lower cost fuel always a good thing, or is there more to the story? Listener calls bring real-world problems to the table, including a 2007 Nissan Sentra with a failing cam position sensor causing hard starts and rough running, and a Chrysler PT Cruiser experiencing electrical gremlins after an ignition switch replacement—affecting both the radio and instrument cluster. Ron is also joined by Ray Bogers, General Manager of Lubricants Technology at Pennzoil, for a conversation about evolving motor oil formulations, new standards, and what today’s engines really require for proper protection. The hour wraps up with Ron revisiting and clarifying a few lingering issues from the previous program—bringing added insight and closure to earlier discussions.
