I'm just glad Dodge (RAM) decided to get smart and bring the Hemi engine option back. That, and getting rid of the silly hybrid system. It's a truck for Godssake, we don't need no stinkin' increased mileage thingies. Fortunately, I have been able to program out the stupid start/stop feature on...

Yep, got to order in multiple packs. I ordered 2 3-packs recently and it was $83.91 a 3-pack ($27.97 each). Single jug order was $31.97. May have to order more so I can go over 10 years with my stash 😁.

No snow tires or motorcycle, but add a pressure washer, air compressor, and a golf cart, and thats what mine contains. It flat out amazes me the number of homes I see in my neighborhood alone, that when their garage doors are open, you see nothing but wall to wall to ceiling stuff. No wonder...

Please don't give my wife any more ideas. She watches enough Dateline already :ROFLMAO:.

We don't need no stinkin' API 😁. If it has ACEA and Euro approvals, thats 'nuff for me . @Urshurak776, c'mon down to G-ville. The 2 Walmart Supercenters nearby are chock full of oil, albeit at the new prices.

Over the past 2 years, U-Haul has done business out of a small portion of an older warehouse space close-by. I drove by the other day and they have taken the ENTIRE warehouse over. All of the space inside is now storage units and even has a 3 bay drive-in entrance to access the units inside. The...

Never been on the left coast to enjoy those roads, but have been up and down the BRP several times. With 2 wheels and with 4 (sometimes the 4 are on 2 😁 ). What a great road, at least when it's not leaf viewing season in the fall. My grandmother lived in Fairview NC and was about 4 miles from...

Sounds like the "CS" valve allows the liquid refrigerant cooled by the compressor while sitting to be discharged back into the suction line, is not working properly. Whether that valve is the electronic control valve for the Denso unit, or a totally separate valve, possibly internal, I don't...

I have one of those compressors in my 2010 VW Passat (continually running, variable displacement). From my understanding the oil remains in the entire system as the electronic control valve that adjusts the swashplate angle does not close completely, even when demand is low/off. This allows the...

Motorcraft FL820 oil filters :ROFLMAO:.

Well, at least the Motul and LM can be had at FCP Euro and come out cheap if you decide to participate in the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee program. I'm done here, my head is starting to hurt :ROFLMAO:.

And it seems Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 meets that approval for $32 a jug. Or the same in 0W-30 if you ignore the silly oxidation stipulation that BMW requires for LL-04 approval. Whoops, more confusion 😁.

OP-where do you live? Any BITOGers around to lend a hand?

Does the system use relays? If so, maybe one is opening up or unable to handle the power when signaled and cuts out.

Yes. Approvals and recommendations are different. Go with what is APPROVED. LL is approved for LL-04, but can also be used (recommended) for LL-01. Can't go the other way around with the A3/B4, ie; approved for LL-01, but neither approved or recommended for LL-04. Confused even more, aren't you? 😁
