Yes, that's exactly what i tought! Nowdays, our flex fuel cars don't have the separate fuel tank, they use heated fuel rails on the port fuel injection. Direct injection apparently doesn't need anything.

In my understanding, in flex fuel cars, it take a couple of minutes for the ECU to "understand" and adapt the mixture when changing from gas to E85 or vice versa. So it's always better, when changing the fuel completely, to do it when the car is hot and drive it for a couple of minutes. Olders...

I think it depends entirely on how long it takes your oil to reach operating temperature. That said, about 10 minutes of driving after the oil reaches operating temperature.

That is why it's always better to do some research, and try to get some knowledge before blindly accepting a recommendation. There may be many possibilities for what is being discussed in the video. For instant: in my old Opel Kadett, which is recommended 15W40 / 20W50, i use HDEO CI-4/E7...

Does it have an oil temperature gauge? Based on your driving style, it surely doesn't look like fuel dilution should be happening. You could ask to re run the sample, maybe it's an error.

So you already answered your question. It is good for you and for your vehicle, just do it (y)

@naimc , i have the exact same doubt every time. I do the second method (bottom pin of your picture), because when i reinstall the caliper it is almost impossible to assemble with the slider pushing up. But i don't feel completely satisfied because when you push the pin all the way down and...

You are right @dnewton3, my comment was a bit broad. I was refering to the situation and veichles/engines used in the video. Although i would not like to have my engine looking like that, the conventional did a great job giving the mileage. It would be interesting if cost was a factor. How many...

10k OCI is too long for conventional, so i feel like they are exceeding the limit on this oil. They didn't even bothered to show what conventional oil they were using

Thank you! The plane crashed in a residential area, in a house backyard, the owner and family was inside and said he " saw the plane exploding in his garage". Luckily no one was hurt outside the crash.

This happened to a city close to where i live. They are talking a lot about icing and stall , i don't know a lot about aircrafts. But we will know this after they remove the bodies, there was 62 passengers, no one survived (obviously). They have recovered 30 bodies so far.

The recommendation of 0W40 or 5W40 is correct and you will find many flavours available (Total, Motul, Mobil, Liqui Moly), just make sure it's A3/B4, and the Porsche A40 is a bonus.

Do you know what is the factory recommendation? If it's 75W80, i would not see a problem using that oil, but maybe it's better to go with 75W85, i think Total and Motul has some in that flavour. But, yes, use GL-4 and not GL-5 or the dual rated GL-4/GL-5

I would wait a little bit longer before trying something more aggressive, since it's a brand new paint. Considering you haven't used any "out of the ordinary products". I have had water spots before that had simply disappear over time.
