    Tuned Accord 2.0T - First Oil Change Choices?

    I was just answering a question on why not run a 30 or 40 weight with oil temps being under 100C. At 60C an average 40 weight is double the viscosity of a 20 weight. So i really don't know what you are talking about. Not once did I say thinner or heavier is better. Obviously a higher hths will...

    Tuned Accord 2.0T - First Oil Change Choices?

    Operating temperature Kv is normally measured at 100c (212F). Do you start your car and run it to redline? No. Why? Because oil is too cold and thick for proper protection. An Xw40 has a Kv of +/- 80 at 40c and +/- 14 at 100c. I dont have a chart to measure but what is the Kv going to be if oil...

    Tuned Accord 2.0T - First Oil Change Choices?

    Yes definitely the Type R! I dont think the M139 has a crazy high oil capacity at 6quarts. I will say with ambient temperatures in the 50s oil temps dont go over 170F. I wouldn't want a 30 or 40 weight with temps under 220F.

    Increasing or decreasing HTHS by .5 is only going to change fuel economy +/- 2%. Youll never notice it or be able to find a meaningful difference in real world driving.

    In summer with high AIT's a higher octane could definitely preserve timing in a boosted platform. If the car makes xxx power on 87 and the fuel cap says 87 then id run 87.

    Amg doesn't know anything about building engines. Silly company 🤡

    The most powerful production 4 cylinder on the planet is specced 0w20.

    If you arent following manufacturers guidelines and aren't worried about warranty (obviously because tuned). I would run a 5w30, specifically top tec 4200

    SAE Paper on Engine Wear with 20 wt. oil

    Just took this from my 2023 Amg Cla45. Amg is confident enough in 0w20 to use it as the only oil for the cla45. (Dont forget mercedes also uses 10k service intervals). Obviously the engine was designed to run this, but it is worth noting there are no other options like the 35s have. I personally...

    Mopar Insiders: Our First Look At The All-New Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter GME-T6 Inline-Six Engine!.

    10/10 do agree, its sad. I owned a 392 charger Daytona and it was so nice having everything right there with the NA V8

    Mopar Insiders: Our First Look At The All-New Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter GME-T6 Inline-Six Engine!.

    Amg has a 4cyl that makes over 400 hp and their v8 makes 469. Bmw M inline 6 makes 500. If these manufacturers are going to drop their big v8s for 6s they better make some power

    Chinese tire quality

    I picked up my Mk8 Gti 2 months ago in the dead of winter; It came with summers and I needed a replacement asap. I went with Crosswind because it was impossible to find a 19 inch tire in a pinch. Honestly, I am impressed. The tire is quiet, great dry manner, can handle some light snow and rain...

    Do you own more vehicles than you really need?

    Not entirely true my mk8 gti gets atleast 27 between city and weird 50mph zones, it also has over 300bhp with the jb4. I think my stinger gt got 24 but that was closer to 500bhp.

    Do you own more vehicles than you really need?

    Ive had too many cars to count but never more than 2 to myself. The last time I had 2 it was a 2002 Forester with an imported Jdm engine and a 2018 392 Daytona charger. Right now I picked up a new Mk8 Gti, and the wife has 8400 miles on her AMG Gla after 16 months of owning it. We could get away...
