    Gumout Regane and All in one changed formula? No PEA on label

    I opened one of the bottles today and took a whiff, and I definitely can smell a bit of "fish" so I'll still use them. I looked at the regular Megane for fun SDS, and that one does have more PEA, compared to All in one I bought. Also looked at STP complete cleaner, also has in the typical...

    Gumout Regane and All in one changed formula? No PEA on label

    Hmmm okay actually...... I think the Canadian version is weaker.... Look at these 2 SDS. Unless I am misrepresenting the US one where the ammount if higher. I guess it is what it is I'll still use these, I bought 3 lmao.

    Gumout Regane and All in one changed formula? No PEA on label

    No I totally agree to search before hand it's just the threads were like a few years older and nothing seemed conclusive. Also the fact Canadian Tire would have the PEA label online maybe told me a law changes or something not to long ago, hence like not having threads dating of this year...

    Gumout Regane and All in one changed formula? No PEA on label

    Hey everyone. After reading a bunch of posts about a decent fuel system cleaner I was decided on getting something with PEA locally and chose the Gumout All in one. Even on the website of the store I bought it from (Canadian Tire), it shows the PEA label, as per first pic. But as you can see...

    Is some visible metal in filter OK? Or any amount of metal in filter is alarming?

    Ok thanks. This amount has actually decreased since I've done the job originally. Since I had oil level sensor issues I thought maybe I was to low but I was at most ~ 1L low if my calculations are correct. If I had damage caused by low oil, I would've had much worse metal than the pictures above...

    Is some visible metal in filter OK? Or any amount of metal in filter is alarming?

    Copy that thank you for your input. I was considering a oil analysis it's just it's significant cost for me to send to blackstone. Used to do it with my other car that got totaled. But yeah I plan to do another oil change soon as I need to replace the oil level sensor as it isn't 100% accurate...

    Is some visible metal in filter OK? Or any amount of metal in filter is alarming?

    Hey all, I have a 2011 BMW 335is and I inspected my filter at my last oil change and it looks like this opened up. Is this alarming or is a certain amount ok? The oil looked pretty clean. The car did have some engine work, the intake camshaft bearing ledge was replaced and it seems to be...

    Looking for advice to know how good of an oil is Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 vs performance oil?

    Ok let's just disregard the track part for now. I barely do it. Just imagine it's me driving sporty on a normal road because honestly that's kinda what I do on the "track" it's just a time attack thing.

    Looking for advice to know how good of an oil is Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 vs performance oil?

    Alright I see. And yeah for the track, I guess when my oil temps start to hit a certain point that's when I know to chill a little bit and be ok. Or can the oil still not hold up and not be related to heat necessarily? But yeah it's definitely under 20 minutes and maybe like 1 or 2 time a year...

    Looking for advice to know how good of an oil is Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 vs performance oil?

    Hello all. For context I have a 2011 BMW 335is DCT which has the N54 engine. The current oil I use is Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 pretty much since it's the cheapest local oil I can get which has the BMW LL01 spec, although I don't specifically care for the spec anymore since my conclusion is...
