    The Jony Ive EV Ferrari - looks like a flattened Equinox EV

    This will take the flop award away from the Dodge Charger EV.

    C40GT in non GT cars

    I agree, but my GT3 is under warranty, and I have to run the C40 GT. I like keeping 1 oil in inventory. Ironic thing is my wife had a GMC Terrain Diesel and it ran Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40. I remember at the time it was a big hard to find, but once Walmart got it, it was easy.

    C40GT in non GT cars

    That's kind of my thought. S55 is pretty robust, only unique thing is the spray coated cylinder bore liners, and I don't think the cams are DLC coated in the S55. C40 should be just fine for it.

    C40GT in non GT cars

    Adding to this. New car has C40 GT, and I will have to run C40 GT for the next few years for warranty sake. To keep things easy and clean, any reason I can't run this in my S55 BMW, use case yearly oil changes, less than 3000 miles?

    Their wheel coats and new ceramic coatings are top notch.

    Graphene coating

    I tried the majoirty of the newer ceramic coatings (including Adams Graphene spray, and Advanced Ceramic Coating). Their graphene coatings are fine. They are suppose to help with water spotting. My current favorite coating is Armor Detail Supply. Easy to use, and works great.

    New Driven HP-X Oils

    High detergents, high moly, medium hths. How does it compare to Driven DI and DT Oils in everyone's opinion?

    New Mobil 1 C40 GT 0W-40

    Said before, but Porsche oil recomendations are suspect. When they came out with C40 GT and said it should used on all 991 generation GT 911s and newer. Previously they said C40 oils used in A40 spec'd cars (911.1 GTs) should not be used, and in certain language would void warranty. That...

    idocars Teardown of failed Toyota V35A TT with 39k miles

    Generally you run a study to understand your process capability, and from there you sample pieces as part of a control plan. Meaning generally not all parts are checked. Depending how critical the characteristic is you maybe required to have higher process capability, or 100% measurement, though...

    LSJR Boutique vs OTS shootout

    Great video, happy with my oil selections. :) Agree Liquid Molygen did not put up a good results. Shears like crazy even in an engine that doesn't have that many moving parts.

    idocars Teardown of failed Toyota V35A TT with 39k miles

    GM engine families V8 and 4 cylinder. Can't comment on micron change (Since that's company info), but it's in the range of ~40% norminal reduction in clearances between specific generations (last 10 years we will call it). It can range too, because previous generations did not have select fit...

    idocars Teardown of failed Toyota V35A TT with 39k miles

    I am sure they are doing sample sediment checks on their blocks. However, the "rogue" chip that is waiting in the main oil feed waiting to dislodge. When machining tools gets dull / wear the chips they make will change and in certain instances when they leave the tool are in a compressed state...

    Chevrolet Blazer EV vs. Cadillac LYRIQ

    Thanks for the review, and purchase. I work/have worked on the battery cells, module, and pack in both vehicles. Your battery cells were made where I currently work. Always cool to see customers enjoying a product you work on.

    idocars Teardown of failed Toyota V35A TT with 39k miles

    As someone who worked on PWTA / Sprayed liner development, the gain/loss in mass/friction/complexity/wear ability are not worth the marginal gains in very specific conditions. I actually worked with the gentleman that developed the spray liner for the hurricane engine. N55 was sleeved and open...
