    VW 504/507 5w30 "thickness"

    Hi everyone, I have a quick and simple question related to the VW 504/507 spec oil. When an oil is given the 504/507 approval/rating does that automatically indicate that the oil is thicker than a run of the mill 5w30? The brand/manufacturer of the oil is irrelevant in this case. Thank you

    Akebono pads don't include hardware?

    According to email response I received from the company, the hardware kits are application dependent. Not all applications have the hardware kits included. I stopped buying their pads as a result of this. I switched to Bosch Quietcast pads and I have been very happy.

    Zerex Asian Red vs. Toyota Long Life Red Coolant and mixing?

    Actually red is cheaper when you factor in the idea that red is full strength vs pink that is 50/50. One gallon of red yields two gallons.

    Zerex Asian Red vs. Toyota Long Life Red Coolant and mixing?

    The Toyota Red (long life) coolant is NOT superseded by Toyota Pink (super long life). Both products are readily available from Toyota and you should use red or pink depending upon your application. And YES, I know that Toyota stated that the pink is backwards compatible. With that said there...

    The new Maxlife ATF packaging/label is here

    The only thing to note here is that some people mentioned that the currently available VML formulation is very different from that in the past. So potentially going forward you may have a different experience?

    ugh! We are the second owners but we were friends with the original owners and the trans was always maintained from the day it was brand new. This is not inspiring news.

    Walmart Store Brand EverStart batteries - Do they typically last 5 years or do they need frequent replacement?

    I still Costco is the best place to buy a battery, but the three years no questions asked warranty is gone as of this past summer. As noted earlier, they would refund your money on the battery and you could purchase a new one with a brand new warranty. Now they simply prorate the warranty and...
