I've run 0w40 in my eco since new...mostly Edge and now Mobil at the last change. Not a variable pump. Macan has a rediculously complicated variable pump and is spec'd for A40 oils. Oil temp runs from 100-108C (212-226F) in regular driving. Sport mode in that one actually drops the oil...

What vehicle and year? The Porsche branded differential fluid has crossover with VW and Audi. The one that gets universally suggested is motul 300 and I have that in my Macan rear diff. Amsoil makes very good gear oils so it's probably just as good sticking with that. If it's heavily...

You also need to realize that the Auto4WD versions of these drivetrains spin the front differential all the time. Manual 4WD does not. Expeditions, Navigators and Lariat (and above) F150s all have the Auto4WD transfer cases that need to engage the front axle when slippage occurs. Lower end...

Same engine as our 2013 CX-5 (6mt). Looks exactly the same as when I changed the VCG a couple of years ago on ours. Sounds like a tractor starting up but settles in nicely.

Ecoboost doesn't mean anything. It's 9 different engines that have turbos. There are 1.0l, 1.5l, 1.6l, 2.0l, 2.3l 2.5l, 2.7l, 3.0l and 3.5l ecoboosts with one or two turbos. One size of oil change doesn't fit all. Each has unique needs and is spec'd as required. I can tell you that my...

And a corn field across the road if you're hungry:

Waiting for a lawsuit may also incur his legal fees...

If you have a partsource nearby, they carry the same filter as well.

I find it hard to believe that a sensor on a post can scan a passive RFID chip from many feet away. Passive RFID (even the high frequency ones @ 13.56MHz) in CCs, pets and door access cards require stimulation from the reader before transmitting their code, which is very low energy return. It...

General consensus is that this is a better choice:

It's all about visuals now, not any proof of any impropriety. Follow the proper channels to challenge it.

If it was the head of the US soccer federation making the call it may have been ok...but it wasn't.

I use Santirx's videos to work on the Macan. He's very thorough and does things properly, which takes time. I did the Thermostat on the Macan using his method. Saved $3k over having the dealer do it.

Looks like a renewal of an old conflict: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_activity_in_the_British_Isles

Billions in investor fraud and released on a 50 or 25 million bond. Chump change to them.
