Hi guys, i'm looking for an ersatz to esso LT 71141 ATF Most important spec is for the atf to be high heat resistant. What do you reckon one should use ?

check rod bearings edit : higher viscosity oil would only be a temporary fix.

Hi, i just saw a car for sale in my country, cheap, but it's like 700 km away. the owner says it has bad piston rings. I know that these engines have a well known issue of sludge building in the oil ring when the oil changes are not done soon enough. Before opening the engine to clean and drill...

bad flywheel bearing. Saw it once on a ford transit, i scratched my head a long time before figuring it out.

Flush it... 16L will get 95% out at least, so that won't be an issue

I use to floor it, at least once a day, it's a low power car, - 45 hp - so to get it up hill you need to floor it. I even took it on the highway at 130km/h (that's 80mph) for about 40 km (25mi)

Oh ! i know that place ! not too far from me, although i never saw that ferrari !

It isn't known that much over here in France... I also enjoy bringing and testing stuff we don't have on shelves here : I recently found out i had a bent rear axle and i fixed it with a EZ-Shim... this is 100% unknown here, and when i went back to the alignment to test again, it worked, so i...

yes i'm crazy, but the endoscope shows it worked ! (except for one cylinder ?!?) Video CC included

It's not a bee it's this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse-fly In france we call it taon, it's more like a big fly, but it bites hard !!!! Citroen SM, what a wonderful car !! love it !

Yes they were 14 years old, i thought the only danger was as the rubber became harder, it would loose grip... i'm mesmerized that such a thing could happen without a pothole or a kerb being hit

If you wonder, the car is a french Citroen AX... it's a very small car, with small 145/70R13 tires, but 640kg, and not a huge top speed either (45 hp!)

The video here Hey guys, Friday, i was driving back from work, and i suddenly heard a burst noise, but not very loud... I thought about my tires, so i swerved a bit to feel if i had a flat tire...doesn't seem like so... i kept driving a bit, hearing a noise like if i had an unbalanced tire...

If you plan on short tripping or running long OCI, go for it, turbo diesel oils are particulary good for this since diesel engines pollutes their oil more.

If your car has a lot of blow by and you overfill... holy cow, it's gonna smoke more than in jamaica
