    Allow me to extol the virtues of Aero-Kroil

    I'm sure an impact would work to get the nut off, but once you get that far it is still really difficult to get the bolt out of the housing without some special sauce.

    Allow me to extol the virtues of Aero-Kroil

    So I just completed the replacement of the upper control arms on my Audi. The UCA pinch bolt is a known villain in the Audi/VW community. Being a steel bolt living in an Aluminum world awash in road salt and grime, it often gets hellishly stuck. So much so that a german comany called Klann makes...

    Boeshield T9 or Fluid Film

    I just used T9 on the dreaded Audi/VW upper control arm pinch bolt, I will find out in a few years weather or not it keeps the galvanic corrosion at bay.

    Single Stack 9mm for Concealed Carry

    I carry a Beretta Nano with an 8rd magazine, it's tiny and an extremely well built gun. It has never failed to go bang, and I've put over 600 rounds through it. The trigger was a little stiff and gritty when new, but smoothed out nicely after the first 200 rounds and a good bit of dry fire. 8...

    2005 Audi A8 4.2L Belgian Castrol 5w40 12K miles

    First and unfortunately the last UOA with this oil (Castrol replaced it with an American sourced version). So feast yer eyes on what may be on of the last original BC UOAs ever (unless there are more hoarders like me out there)! My biggest quandry is whether I'll trust the new 0w40 Belgian...

    Pentosin CHF 7.1 mixing

    Molakule, please don't take me posting some info as trying to "disprove" anything you said, you're obviously waaaay more knowledgeable about this than I. Notice on the info I posted about 7.1 I asked at the end what could be making up the other % by weight that isn't accounted for in the MSDS...

    Pentosin CHF 7.1 mixing

    CHF 7.1 MSDS states: Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated middle 25-50% CAS#64742-46-7 CAS#64742-46-7 has trade names of Amoco NT-45 process oil and Kermac 600W (mineral seal oil) also has 2.5% by weight of ZDDP. What could make up the other 47.5-72.5% of this by weight???

    Pentosin CHF 7.1 mixing

    Resurrecting this; personally I think it almost "has" to be the ZDDP additive pack in 7.1, since 11S and 202 seem to rely on uber-basestocks and almost no additive pack to do their job. 11s and 202 aren't formulated to keep a ZDDP additive pack in suspension, and that is bad.

    What mystifies me is this. If I went to Wal-mart (or anywhere Fram filters are sold) and purchased a PH5618 off the shelf there it would look nothing like this. The orange can of death in those places looks nothing like this, with a plastic button by-pass, nitrile ADBV, and cardboard endcaps. I...

    Not your average Fram

    wow, this fell down the list pretty quickly, does anybody have a guess as to who might have manufactured this for FRAM? I'm fairly certain this isn't a Honeywell product.
