For my GM cars i use ACDelco when they seems to be holding up fine and are easy to order in box of 10pcs, Used to buy WIX from a Swedish low price store Biltema but its a long time since i seen a WIX filter on shelfs there. and for my European cars i use MANN, Mahle, Bosch and Meyle depending on...

I dont got any luck with get a noicy diff to be quiet with any oil. Gear grease made the best to get it quiter for a short time but nothing i will put in a diff i would be running for a long time. Just get it rebuild the correct way. Something is not right if it whining is what i learned the...

Not a A5/B5 oil so I dont see how to compare that with the Delvac that is a A5/B5 oil- If you want to go outside the specifications you can buy a 5l 5w40 at Lidl for 179:- when they have it but I would not use a oil that not holds the specification that the engine maker recommends. It will work...

Mobil Delvac City Logistics F 5w30 Last years i drove my XC90 i used Delvac City Logistics F 5w30 its a good oil to a reasonable price atleast here in Sweden

If your transfercase has brass, bronze bushings or other yellow metal parts in it and calls for a GL4 i would not use a GL5 oil when it can be bad for yellow metal parts. So take a look in the manual what type of oil the transfercase calls for. Some oils are specified to GL4/5 that should be ok...

Electric heater is great when its so cold. I dont have a heater installed when we usually dont have so cold here in Stockholm area but those times i go up to nort to visit my parents like christmas and new year i really consider to install an engineblock heater and also a battery charger.

I thing this one will be OK when it has the GM 6227M spec Easy to find in stores close to me Q8 Yellow Coolant OAT • Mercedes 325.3• GM 6277M• MAN 324 Typ SNF• Volkswagen TL 774F• Ford WSS-M97B44-D

Tnx Just what i was looking for. G34 i totally missed in my search and didnt think about Opel at all so now i have plenty of options

Cat is a way but still a good substitute that are easy to get would be better.

No GM dealership in Sweden since a long time now. SAAB/GM dealership was the last one that i can remember but all of them are gone. Some import companys have Dexcool to really high price and then it will be by shipping so i would like to find a substitute that are easy to find if possible.

Im getting a headache of finding Dexcool here in Sweden and its time to change coolant soon. Tryed to search for the Dexcool formula but getting different ansvers of what type it is. I belive its a silicate free OAT but also find that its a HOAT ? I got a recomendation on Q8 longlife coolant...

That one does sound to be great. I run IR since the end of 90ś and it still working great but last years i used an battery impact for tire change and repairs when its so comfortable without air hose and starting up the compressor. Dont know how IR is today but when i bought this one it was the...

The first thing i think about is if you get the rubber part (dont know the english name for it but its aviable in different hights mounted in one end of the coilspring) back on bouth sides ?

Cold start today at -26C about -15F and now I see a higher cold oil pressure in -20C it was not higher than a hot start. Mannol 0w20 a little longer cranc than in -20C before firing up.
