Yup akeebono and factory parts for my cars made in Japan are the same. Bedding in o. Brembo caught me off guard but I was younger then lol

I had them on my old Subaru once. My bad experience was not bedding them in..came off the highway smoking and people flagging me down. The worst smell and something melted and I had something liquidified running down the rotors. But after that they ran fine. That experience scared the crap out...

What do you think the best rotors are? I've heard everything, oem, centric, powerstop and brembo lol

Yea I always thought for daily driving slotted and especially drilled were worse

Asp being discontinued makes a lot of sense it's oos everywhere except from.some.stores super far out on the country that have stock still. Do you think blank or slotted power stops with act pads is a good combo? Debating if the slotted would cause the pads to wear too quick. The cooling would...

So I've been staring at this way too long and need another opinion. I gotta swap my front brake pads on my 2017 Infiniti qx50 (alaex37/j50) So I was thinking oem pads and rotors were alright but the shortest interval my pads lasted ever (2 years) So I thought maybe after market? Akeebono...

Ah I see got it. From what I can tell that's the plain old euro formula labeled on and the esp variants

When you say mobil synthetic like the base Mobil 1 stuff at Walmart? Not the esp or extended performance or whatever other variant they got ?

Why esp specifically? Especially over the other variants like euro formula? Edit: interesting some of the esp bottles also say euro formula. I have a black label euro formula up here too, got thrown off by the emissions system protection or whatever. But same question why esp over the others.

Yea as soon as I saw green oil I was like ok idk about this. Who cares if it's green going in? Interesting to know about motul. Used to see it at some dealerships like Subaru alot and was always curious

So what about stuff like motul and liquimoly? I always saw liquimoly as gimmicky but idk

Thought the group v stuff was ester based. Nissan sells a ester oil but I hear it's exaggerated

I have heard Ester based oils quiet it down a bit but it's minor and not a reliability concern from my understanding

I've heard good things About magnatec. We used gtx for a bit on the first gen Highlander but went Mobil 1 high mileage which cut back on the oil burning there

Oof jugs but 😂
