    Helping our Babysitter: Diagnosing from 14(!!!) Engine Codes 2012 Hyundai Velostar

    One more vote for the misfires causing most (if not all) of the issues. Along with the things others mentioned, it could be intake valve deposits. Might want to look at the intake and see how bad it looks. I had decent results with intake cleaning additives on port injection engines, but if...

    Does RAM just die?

    No signal was not shown... I mean it was last year... so 95% sure. Monitor goes into power saving in 5min of no signal.. and does not wake up unless turned off and on or signal(slim chance I missed that) It sure looked like no POST too. Try a new cable or see if dust isnt too much in either...

    Does RAM just die?

    I had a bad HDMI cable not give a no signal or anything. PC would go into Windows (look to me as a no post), however my screen would be blank. I was sure the GPU died.. but a simple cable change fixed everything. Makes sure nothing is loose as far as cables go. Also change cables if you see chew...

    Does RAM just die?

    Only other thing that comes to mind is your video card. Reseat and check if it spins up. Check for a loose cable/ extra power cables to the video card.

    Does RAM just die?

    Sounds a bit like a dead bios battery to me... try and change it.

    Exercise and Health

    The local news today talked about a study saying lack of movement is reason #5 for premature end of life. They recommended 4000 steps a day minimum and said it almost halved that risk... then they showed an old woman saying she does however many feels right and she is going strong. Guess my...

    Mobil 1 New Life

    Its available in Eastern Europe. Bulgaria , Croatia, Greece from memory, so I guess all over. Have not seen a recent VOA, but old ones showed 1000+ppm of ZDDP,200ppm of moly and PAO/AN so a top oil. Old specs, pretty sure this data sheet has not updated since 2017-2018...

    Which tire brand and model within that brand last the longest miles.

    The local tire place sold me a size up(next wider option) tires once. They claimed it was ok on most vehicles. I said ok and got them mounted to later (slightly) regret it. The car was/felt slower. City mileage suffered(not by much), freeway mileage got better. Now I'm a low miler and cant...

    Does Caffeine bother you?

    I was going of the top of my head, decided to double check myself and you have a point about the diuretic thing. chronic users of caffeine develop a tolerance to this effect and experience no increase in urinary output per wikipedia. I am a chronic user and well its not about output as volume...

    Does Caffeine bother you?

    I drink 4 coffees a day. Minimum. Do get headaches and cramps if I overdo it or dont drink the 2qt of water a day. Caffeine is a diuretic(makes you pee), which influences the electrolyte balance in the body and your heart's something or another. Can up your blood pressure. Lots of soda can...

    High Performance Lubricants No VII series engine oils.

    Any chance of letting us know if you have di-esters or poly-oil esters in the oils, in case this isn't proprietary information. They sure do look great.

    Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) slowly replacing ZDDP?

    Well the standard VOA and spectroscopy is all I can find.. auto-translated CC from Spanish on youtube. Guy looks at the safety datasheet as well, some interesting stuff. German forum thread : https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/8499-liqui-moly-ceratec/

    Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) slowly replacing ZDDP?

    The german oil forum guys think Ceratek uses some sort of purpose formulated carrier oil for the hBN.

    Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) slowly replacing ZDDP?

    The other thing about boron is its ability to stick around for an extended time in the engine, past the current OCI. Liqui Moly advertised Ceratec protection lasts 50k km. Mannol claims the same with its Ceramo Ester (just on the tin, they removed this from the website). Both of these use...
