Hello, is TotalEnergies RUBIA OPTIMA 3100 10w40 a good oil ? https://lubricants.catalog.totalenergies.com/catalogue-b2b-fr/fr_FR/wx3_rubia-optima-3100-10w-40 I would like to use it in my old 2006 grand voyager 2.8 common rail diesel (like kj liberty). Thanks.

For international shipments, all packages have always arrived in good condition. I think it's the carrier that damages the packages because when I see the Amazon delivery vans, it's frightening. I've ordered shock absorbers, brake hoses, electronic modules, bearings—basically a whole bunch of...

I have an old Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD (2006 town and country) with the EGR system blocked off (using a small screw). The oil is still crystal clear after two months.

Wouah... Well, yes, fortunately the filters all last quite a long time, but what matters is the filtration quality and keeping pressure drop to a minimum. All the manufacturers mentioned have supplied Mercedes, okay, but again, they supplied filters that met Mercedes’ specifications—filters with...

Mann is the cheapest because it isn't as good as Knecht/Mahle. Mann is an urban legend that just won't die, but no one has really conducted a serious test. Everyone confuses Mann with OEM specifications and aftermarket Mann products.

Are you sure ? antiwear in automatic gearbox ? slip slip slip

Mannol is just a packager, not a producer, so mannol has no way of knowing the actual quality of the production. And since I assume mm has entered into purchase agreements, the cost remains fixed for mannol but not for the producer: variations in raw material costs mean that the manufacturer...

Hello, Sorry for by bad english. For my old Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD 2006 (diesel engine like jeep liberty 2.8 crd 2004) I ordered two front shock absorbers from Rockauto - Gabriel Ultra Ready Mount, and it seems that Gabriel manufactures shock absorbers for Napa (the Proformer) because...

What do you think about these oil filter tests ? Are they serious ?

Thank you for providing me with relevant information. I found some cheap Castrol Vectron E9.

It's just a question of cost and the GTX is also made for diesel, it says so on it. and api ck4 is hard to find in France. I only found volvo oil 10w30 api ck4 at the same price of the gtx. i can try it.

I bought it for $700, and honestly, I find this car very reliable for a 20-year-old car. The EGR is pneumatic and can be easily disabled with a screw. This solves the problem of clogged sensors. Then you need a catch can to prevent the injectors from clogging, and I will use Stanadyne from time...

In France, all petroleum products are heavily taxed. The gtx costs "only" $43 per 1,3 gallon. And the rimula is more expansive. Thank you for the pan, I will buy it.

Hello, I think I have found the right oil for this old engine : castrol gtx 10w40 api sp. It is cheap, 100% syn, and should have the right quality : low pour point (-30°).

Manual and automatic. But the chrysler is much reliable (this version especialy) : no dpf, no problem with egr, solid engine. Only 2 or 3 points of failure : the diesel heater , the oil cooler and the water pump it is a pain to change it.
