If you are a Mac person, it seems a no brainer to go for iphone. There is familiarity in the apps and terminology and usabiility, as well as some neat integrations.

Another potential is sticking caliper

Personally a combination factor of cost and manufacturer approvals trump the small differences betweeen a 0w30 and 0w40 both having a HTHS close to, but no less than 3.5. I have a hunch the difference in blend and additive packs will be more significant to the oil performance than marginal...

From my old Corolla, old plugs were causing no issues:

One thing to remember, unless you have moving pipes, you can't have an exhaust that has perfect flow at all RPMs, there has to be SOME compromise and trade off. Depending on the engine this could be a small or high compromise, often the higher the tune (power per capacity unit), the bigger the...

Not very detailed, I want to know how far apart my feet should be, which direction the lighting should be, optimum wind direction and what radio station I should be listening to
