    VOA Database

    Awesome! Glad to help. I'll be uploading probably one more VOA and a UOA in a bit. I bought an oil extractor for my VW and will be able to change my own oil now. Am probably going to VOA the Quaker State 5w40 Euro since the last one was nearly 2 years ago. I'll be putting this into my vehicle as...

    VOA Database

    I'd love to help contribute! I have a few in my signature. Shoot, one of the links in the database takes you to a BITOG thread where the user linked my old Total Quartz 9000 VOA

    2022 Volvo S60 B5 AWD - UOA - First oil change ~9200 miles.

    Great looking car. It's a shame they've gotten very complicated and expensive to work on though. Are you leasing or buying?

    How is the price of gas calculated?

    I've actually experienced the same thing in my area. There are areas in the country where gas is all priced the same. From personal experience, it seems to be common in Idaho. Shell, Chevron, Sinclair, Maverick, doesn't matter, they're all the same price. Why? I couldn't tell you. This was the...

    Need a tire pressure gauge

    Yeah I did quite a few google searches for "best pressure gauge" and the Jaco brand kept coming up over and over again so I figured I should look at what they have and was pleasantly surprised. I had to order off amazon so it'll be here by sunday hopefully.

    Need a tire pressure gauge

    Is it accurate? I don't see anything saying how accurate the digital one is.

    Need a tire pressure gauge

    Not sure if it's ok to re-use this thread or create a new one, BUT I'm in the market for one. I prefer a battery-less analog one unless there's a digital one that is accurate. Just looking for an updated recommendation for the 2022 year. I did see the Joe's racing one mentioned quite a bit and...

    [2017 MK7 Golf] Replace trans fluid at 40k?

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. Since this would be the first fluid change it would contain anything from the initial break in. After that I'd follow at 80k intervals. Yeah it doesn't look awful but unfortunately I'm in an apartment complex and don't have access to a lot of those things. My...

    [2017 MK7 Golf] Replace trans fluid at 40k?

    The owners manual says to do a "fluid change" every 80,000 miles for the 6 speed automatic (non-DSG) transmission. I was thinking about having the dealership do it while it's in for the 40k service. Has anyone done this service before? How dark was the fluid after 40,000 miles?
