Also confusingly on the spec sheet of MV it says its performance levels meets 3309/T-IV levels but under the 'Suitable For' doesn't list the aveo Aisin tranny! So not suitable but meets the performance levels. http://www.lubs-products-database.total.com/gallery/ORIGINALS/visuels/22500/22930

Hi guys, Fustrating matter with my Chevy Aveo tranny with the Aisin 4 speed box that requires 3309/T-IV. Can't get Mobil 3309 off the shelf here or any other oils that match T-IV spec. Now I can get hold of Total Fluide G3 from a local supplier. Not familiar with this atf but then looking at...

Booked in on Saturday for an oil change with Fuchs 5w30. Meets Jag and Ford specs and cheaper than Castrol. All for 56 pounds! That saves a few pennies and getting cold and wet under the car in winter. Some cashback also! At that price I'll get it done every 6 months!

Fuchs appears to have all the approvals at half the price. What's the catch? Fuchs TITAN Supersyn F Eco-DT 5w-30 Specifications ACEA A5/B5 FORD M2C913-C Approvals FORD M2C913-D FUCHS Recommendations ACEA A1/B1 FORD M2C913-A FORD M2C913-B IVECO 18-1811 S1/S2 JAGUAR M2C913-B RENAULT RN0700...

Any sensible replies? Which Castrol would be recommended? Jag did work with Castrol and alway recommended the A5 My V6 has 140,000 miles so I'd like to be using the best possible oil to keep it going well. I use it for many short journeys now.

I was informed that the recommended Castrol Edge A5 is now discontinued. I see a couple of places still selling stock. Is it only the 5w30 discontinued or the 0w30 A5 also? What is the replacement now for my Jag S type 3.0l petrol? One Jag garage said they use Shell helix Ultra. Should I...

Gone the whole hog. Got myself a Rupes Bigfoot 21 mk2. A whole set of pads and compounds. Just experimenting now with different pads/compounds on different cars. Woww all I can say. The bigfoot is awesome. The cheap 8mm polisher had virtually no impact on the scratches compared to the bigfoot...

Originally Posted By: Trav Try Meguiars or 3M Buffing Pads, they cost more up front but last a long time and end up being cheaper. Bad pads and compound can make a real mess of your paint, then you can really pay some big $$ to fix it. Got myself a pair of Meguiars microfibre cutting pads to try.

thanks for the tip. Got a peugeot and skoda at present but could start working on others.

Very true. Currently used Meguiars ultimate compaound and ultimate polish with excellent results - very easy and versatile to work with. Also Farecla G3 but this is old school and is harder to work with.

Might go for the dodo juice pads. Black and orange or green. Other option recommended by a friend in the trade are the meguiars microfibre cutting and finishing pads. Bit expensive in the UK.

Got them off ebay. They are cheap chinese knock offs for sure. My question is about the black pads really. Is this meant to be a soft sponge? The blue one I have is very soft but the black is much harder which has gotten me confused as I thought the blacks were ultra soft for finishing? The...

Hi guys, Just bought myself a set of cheap hexpads, orange, black and blue. But I'm suspecting they are fakes. The blue is super soft and black is super hard/dense. I understood the black should be super soft for adding waxes and glazes with no cutting characteristics!!
