"Disingenuous to make a particular purchase then complain about it":? Really? I'd rather you not respond if you're to insult me for asking a question. Nevermind. I'll figure this out on my own. More often than not, I come to this forum and ask simple questions only to get talked down to...

Good morning! So… I’m inventorying my oil stash and wanted to get y’all’s take. We own a 2025 BMW X5 M60i with the 4.4 twin Turbo V8 and I just bought a 2026 RAM 1500 with the 3.0 HO Hurricane. The BMW takes 0W-30 Euro and the Hurricane takes 0W-40 SP. I’ve been using Valvoline 5W-40 Euro in...

Sorry, I’ve been outta town with limited internet. It was actually quite nice TBH. I really appreciate all the info. It’s not a cost issue at all. I’d spend $30 a quart if necessary to protect the engine in the X5. But, thankfully, I don’t have to. My concern is the best protection...

Exactly what I was thinking. Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40

Please forgive me if this topic has been discussed, but I tried searching through the threads and couldn't come up with an answer. So after searching through BMW forums and this forum, it appears LL-01 can be used where LL-01 FE is recommended. Is this the consensus? The reason I ask is we...

So I took Crowley's advice and reached out to Ravenol about their BW-44 synthetic fluid. Their fluid is an exact match (spec on the bottle) for the transfer case that's in my TRX. The spec on the bottle 68049954AA / 68049954AC (original and updated spec) both match the Mopar spec for my transfer...

I appreciate all the input, seriously. That's why I love this forum. The vehicle in question is the 2021 TRX which has the BW 48-13 transfer case. Sorry, but after posting I realized this unit is new and used exclusively in the TRX. It's a "full time" engaged transfer case, meaning it's in 4wd...

I read this as "recommend". The transmission spec is specific "use only". The transfer case is "recommend". The OEM TC fluid is crazy expensive. That's the reason for my original question. If it is nothing special, I was going to get an as good or better alternative.

Hopefully someone can provide input on a fluid choice for my 2021 RAM truck. I am planning on purchasing some transfer case fluid for a future service. I visited the Amsoil site and searched by specific vehicle and they recommend their Signature Series ATF fluid for my particular Borg-Warner...

Question about oil choice for the GV80. I have a good stash of Pennzoil SRT 0-w40 for my TRX and was wondering if there would be any issues using this for the Genesis? The GV80 calls for 0w-30. It is a twin turbo 3.5L. I've read on this forum many times that turbos are notoriously hard on oil...
