Just renewed mine. % shown in the table looks close but a little conservative here in MI.

What, no 4th and 5th?

M1 108A on my Triumph Thruxton motorcycle, 10+ years and all good.

Daughter lives in France outside Paris in the country and purchased a similar Duster last year. Great economy vehicle, good value. Basic engineering so easier to fix but does have an ECM. Small engine has enough power to get around, including on motorways while not being thirsty. So many...

I like to record stuff for later viewing at my convenience, like the F1 GP Series. Have only found Direct TV, Comcast and WOW with this capability. All pricey but provide a variety of packages at different prices. Depending on needs a ton of choices, but few allow recording like the old days...

Anybody have a resource on a list of vehicles with this feature? My late model German vehicles seem to default to an annual calendar for the OCI. although annual miles driven is less than 7K. Much of it is short trips to local stores, less than 3 miles.

If the ground freezes and thaws it can result in movement over time unduly stressing and ultimately damaging the cable.

Climate will be a factor. If in a cold state, be sure to bury below the frost line - 18" to 24".

If ever there was an excuse to DIY (not that you need one) now is the time. Have been doing all our extended family's German cars for years, including Mercedes. Check out the YouTube "How to" and go for it. Critical issues are the correct oil type and amount, filter and filter wrench and some...

Whenever I have had to pull or replace a cracked sump I was surprised how much deposits were to be found in the pan. No idea what they comprised of or if they were adversely impacting the longevity and performance of the engine. As available I do use a magnetic drain plug, not so much out of...

3 years, 45k miles.

Been using the 108A on my Triumph motorcycle for many years. Sits low on the engine as expected so extra exposure to the elements, stones etc.. Has always served me well, no issues. Will continue to be my preferred choice as availability allows.

Seems like anything less than 5/6k miles intervals would be a waste unless the need was verified with an oil analysis.
