Saw this one this evening. 🔥

I’m back with after a run to Walmart. Similar situation - not an Xw-20 in sight. That M1 FS 5w-50 is around $32/qt. 😳 One thing I realized while I was there is that there were no oil or air filters. I also didn’t see them on the shelves at the auto parts stores. I’m thinking they’re behind the...

I looked it up. 500Nm (369lb/ft) of torque from 1600-2800 RPM. Be still, my heart. https://www.toyotacr.com/autos/toyota-land-cruiser-prado/especificaciones

About $50 US for the GTX and “Viscous” jugs 25w-60.

As God intended.

I forgot to mention, there is a huge Chinese presence in the auto market. BYD is here. There is JMC (Jianglang Motor Company) who makes trucks that look a lot like Chevrolet/GMC models, FOTON who makes a truck call the Tunland which is like a crossbreed of the Ranger Raptor and a newest gen...

This. Tons of older vehicles here. Vehicles are very expensive. Typically about 2x the price of the same model vs the US, whether you’re shopping new or used. And, being that Costa Rica is a second world country a vehicle is a huge investment for a family. You’ll see them living in a home that...

There are a few reasonably sized chains here. Repuestos Gigante/Gigante Car Parts is one. La Guaca is another.

The engine oil was on open shelving. But, funny enough, the Meguiar’s and most other brands of detailing products are locked up. However, this Made In USA brand ABRO, is not locked up. I don’t stay up to date on detailing products, but I can’t recall seeing this in the US.

Negative. I’ve only seen the Castrol GTX High Mileage and Castrol CRB “Viscous” variants in that viscosity.

Unsure. But, I can tell you with certainty that I don’t wanna be around for UOA time.

I’m visiting some friends and stopped to peruse the oil aisle. Current exchange rate is about c4,500 = $10 US. Sorry for the poor quality. The pictures I took were of entire shelves and very clear, but when I uploaded them the quality tanked. So, I had to crop them pretty heavily.

Bro woke up this morning and chose violence.

I’ll die a happy man if they reply saying it is correct, and that it doesn’t matter anyway because most wear is caused by particles <5um.

Are these graphs available for any filters with a higher efficiency? I’m intrigued by the efficiency at 5um for this unknown filter. It stayed almost completely flat. Wondering if the 5um line would be flat for a filter with the efficiency of a current CQP or CQEP, but somewhere around 50-75%...
