I have used it for years and it has better cold weather properties than just DOT3 brake fluid. the brake and clutch pedals are more responsive and consistent in the cold than regular DOT3. Multiple cars and very obvious.

ConocoPhillips uses the Jet brand in Europe. http://www.conocophillips.co.uk/EN/jetbrand/retailfuels/Pages/index.aspx It isn't clear if C-P is making the motor oil (importing from US) or just rebranding it, as they don't have a blending plant in Europe to my knowledge. C-P is separating its...

I bought a Bosch 3 gal compressor and they weren't of much help. I emailed Mobil and they suggested Mobil Rarus 427 compressor oil for the reasons mentioned. Deposits and cold start issues are avoided. Problem is no supply place around here sells it. DeWalt sells a synthetic compressor oil...

Very impressive on that engine. That's a lot of miles. I'm surprised because around here many of the older 3.3L engines in various Chryslers have oil smoke coming out of them. Maybe they got it fixed in newer ones. The automatic transmissions are known problem, maintenance or not. Like...

Most of these teams run special racing oils, especially the ones sponsored by the majors. Formula 1 has been doing it since the 80s.

Funny thing is he switched to Chevrolet in Indycar!

I bought a new vehicle last year with $4750 in rebates. NY State taxes the vehicle on the pre-rebate price. I don't get it. The market value of the vehicle is post-rebate or they wouldn't sell.

Diminishing returns. How many airbags do you need, before the car is too heavy or too expensive or provides minimal value. My car has a bazillion. Having worked in the business, there is only the need for about 4. Safety at any cost is not a viable excuse.

It is the Buick BRAND. Buick in China is a mix of US GM, Opels, and Holdens from Australia with some local flavor. Not a bunch of rolling sofa LeSabres like they used to sell here. Just like Chevrolet in Brazil is a mix of rebranded Opels, US trucks with some local mods. Chevrolet in Europe...

Originally Posted By: TaterandNoodles I have a 2011 ranger with the 2.3 and 5spd. My 1st oil change was with Motorcraft 10w-30. I have been running 5w-20 most of the time but I think I am going to go back to the 30wts or thicker synthetic 20wts personally. My 5spd is was down right crunchy in...

I bought a 2011 US Ranger Supercab XLT for $16k. 2wd 4 cylinder manual. It gets between 26-27 mpg and it isn't broken in yet. I just don't get why all the trucks have to be bigger and high riding. 4wd, sure, ground clearance, I get it. Visibility? If you need to be higher, you aren't looking...

Same place a NASCAR driver would likely be trying Indycars for the first time - mid pack.

Originally Posted By: Audios We favor BMWs at my shop because theyre the most logically planned out. Plenty of room to work in once you get the fan and shroud off, and exceptionally reliable if you keep up with them. We see a few with over 250k, just fixed up and sold an 97 528i that was a...

I've sat there, almost same spot. Great seats. Enjoy! Love, Montreal - great city!

I was driving down to PA and saw at the border on the NY side, the first 76 stations in probably ever in NY, besides one off truck stops, in Lindley, NY. Brownie's. There has not been a Conoco, Phillips 66, or 76 station for 150 mi in any direction for probably 50 years (Phillips 66) around...

I loved watching Senna drive and race. He was incredible. I drive with this technique daily. Second nature.
