Welp, considering that TopGolf is failing, that is not good news!

A non-port injected GDI engine WILL NEVER LOOK THAT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it me or did that bottle remind you of a hospital bedside urinal???????????????????????

Rapid Shine was the name of it! You had to shake the bottle so the polish wasn't settled into the bottom. **** would it leave the surface slick. After Rapid Shine, I'd apply REjex and **** what a shine! It didn't smear or leave that Rain-X type of greasy residue.

Depends how bad it has adhered to the paint. My daughters 2006 RX330 had that stuff on it and it had already broken down the paint. I have seen several that were left with nothing but primer and bare metal when someone tried to remove that stuff.

5 or 6 years ago, I ran my 2009 Ford Focus 15K miles on SuperTech 5w30 and got a stellar UOA back suggesting I could run it another 2500 miles! I ended up going to HDEO but that one UOA showed me that Supertech is right up there in oil performance and long life.

Delo is great oil! Ran the conventional that is now discontinued for 15K in my Scion XD and just as they claimed it posted equal or better numbers than SynBlend Delvac 1300. I ran the XLE 17,5K in the Scion and it still had life left in it. Delo is good stuff.

Well, they didn't have any when I went by the store so I've got Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30 High Mileage in it now and I will go to 10K miles with that and see how it shakes out. Like I said, I had read so much bad stuff about how other brands of cars GDI engines that were diluting oil and such, I...

Hover over image to zoom thumbnail image 1 I guess maybe with DEF and low sulfur fuels, the HDEO's are changing as well. I noticed the HDEO makers are pushing 10w30 and 5w30 blends as well but most truckers are sticking with 15w40.

Was concerned,this being our first direct injected powered vehicle, about fuel dilution after reading many, many horror stories about other manufacturers problems. Apparently that this is not an issue with Mazda. As many of you know from my previous post and UOA's that I'm a big believer in...

Boo on NuFinish! I loved the Spray Polish! LOVED IT! Spray on and wipe off. Panels were slick as owl #hit! Man I hate that. Only spray polish that I know of. I'd pop a coat of Turtle Wax Hybird ceramic on top of it. I really do hate that. Arrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My two direct injected Mazda's require SN not SN+ or SP rated oils. SP was designed to reduce LSPI some HDEO's are SP rated. I'm about to buy 4 gallons of Delvac1300 Super 10w-30 and have no qualms using it in my DI Mazda's because it is SP rated.

If you have a recoil sensitive female or a guy like me with an injured shooting hand, I like the Liberty Defense 50 grain aliuminum rounds and the Hornady 9mm Lite rounds. I won't debate anyone but I've seen first hand the Liberty Defense used on mammals and was impressed with it enough to trust...

I just sold a 240K mile Mazda CX-5 that was fed nothing but 15w40 HDEO after I discovered it burned too much 5w-20(not a lot compared to what the car makers say today is "normal"!). When it was sold the cats were fine. Ironically, the only car I've ever had to replace cats on was a Lexus that...

Mine uses very little, especially over 15K-20K runs. So glad its a port injected engine.
