In my Hyundai Sonata for about 30k miles... They work. They rust. Ride is hard.

My LH6 sits around 50psi at 65mph, sometimes dip to 48, sometime jumps to 52. Data is from OBD2 ECU reading.

Just like how the Soviet treats VIP foreigner... They provide a tailored, boutique show case vehicle that probably can't be bought on the market.

Bilstein 4600 does reduce rolling and provide better damping on my Saab Trailblazer, although the old shock is pretty worn and shouldn't be used as a benchmark. On the other hand, the quick strut and ZF "regular" shock for my Hyundai Sonata eliminates the rebounce but not so much on improving...

Hikvision lol... "How dare you spy on me while I spy on others??" I have my old linksys home internet router and seems not to be affected, which is good.

Would it perform better if you as server admin disable the update? It's quite annoying that Microsoft force you doing update when you need the computer to work right here, right now lol.

The goal is you could get the 1L bottle and pump some into the transfer case when doing transmission fluid change, also keep the number of fluid down so easier management. But you are not wrong if OEM fluid is the goal.

Phone battery probably in the most severe condition. Deep cycle, little to none environmental control and spend a lot of time in near full or near empty. Despite this we still see a good life cycle increase. For example, iPhone battery used to be 500 charge cycles before capacity degraded under...

Vibe coding still requires a good understanding of the subject you are working on and a robust code review/test pipeline to maintain quality assurance. And IMO there are better agent to do AI coding than Grok.

I wish they had option in 0w-30 weight and not selling at $39.99 at AAP!

To add a point, most modern industries are not 100% self-sustained. Missing enough critical import pieces, no matter big or small, could halt the entire production process. In war this is more likely to happen and it's up to which country can adopt and overcome quicker.

But the oil jug repeatedly tells user that 0w-16, 0w-8 belongs to GF-6B and is not compatible with engines using GF-6A oil. Since no bitoger's engine explosion due to thicker oil has been documented on this site, should we say 6A-6B difference is a hoax?

Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-40

Oof, this is the worst 35505 cut off I ever seen. Filter material is all black with metal dots. Yikes. Last owner must buy in the 7.5k mi oil change thing.

Please. Yes it's all over the place but not everyone is a car guy lol.
