@Cujet, I just checked and FCP Euro does have parts for Jaguar. You may want to take a gander at what they offer.

Not trying to sell you on Motul, but looking at the options at FCP, the Motul 8100 5W-40 has an HTHS of 3.9, also pretty respectable.

Agreed. There is no mention of 300V meeting API, ACEA, or any manufacturer specifications. But in reading the description of Motul 300V, I saw where Motul includes an oil change interval for street use and a different oci for track use, along with other description that suggests 300V is...

FCP Euro offers a lifetime warranty on all their products. To take advantage of the lifetime warranty, you purchase a replacement for the "defective" part, and then return the "defective" part for a full refund on the purchase. Many of their customers take advantage of that for close-to-free...

When I did a Google search of both those EANs, I noted that all the results for the latter are in Denmark, Netherlands, and the UK. Perhaps the only difference is the labeling for different markets?

As the OP said, FCP has a limited line of motor oils. No Shell, Penzoil, Mobil. From what I have seen, they primarily offer European products, such as Motul, Liquid Moly, Redline, Fuchs, and BMW. I see that FCP offers Motul 5W-40 in both 8100 and 300V competition. Since you are planning...

I had not heard that. Blackstone headquarters are just a 1/2 hour from my home. I take advantage of that, and shop frequently in their factory store. I hope the merger doesn't change their current headquarters.

Elon changes the release of new models a little less frequently than a toddler gets diaper changes, but last I heard, Elon cancelled the Q, saying it didn't make sense. He said that to hit the price point, the battery pack would have to be reduced to the point where the Q would have very short...

Depending on what you like to eat, and if you can only have one, a Blackstone griddle may be a good choice. You can cook hash browns, eggs, pancakes, sausage and bacon. And you can cook burgers, chicken, fish. For me, I've got a Blackstone griddle for those things that are best suited to it...

Agreed. How far from your shop to the nearest gas station? Perhaps your test drive needs to be just long enough to leave barely enough for the customer to get to a gas station, after picking up the car from your shop.

It has been my experience that you can't go wrong with a Dupont product.

I've had a few occasions where I've had to tell someone that they were sitting in my seat. In a couple of those, the person had just made an honest error, either mistaking which side of the plane A started on, or being off a row. In at least two instances, I got the impression that the person...

If my memory serves me well, I vaguely recall many, many years ago, reading that California was trying to get vehicle owners to turn in license plates when they sold or scrapped a car, so the number could be reused. I wonder what came of that?

Could you be more specific?

I hadn't considered that possibility. Considering that all the service shown on Carfax was done by the same shop, they could have been servicing the car all along, but changed software at some point.

Thanks. This is helpful. Reading through all the posts on this thread, I saw where some have said similar to what you are saying. In looking at a Carfax, it shows no service history for the first 4 years of ownership. But that was only 11k miles, so while not ideal, it doesn't seem terrible...

I'm glad to have found this discussion on the CR-V. My daughter has found a 2018 CR-V EX, with only 13k miles on it. It looks pretty clean, and with the low miles, is it safe to say that many of the concerns that others have mentioned here, can be avoided by me changing fluids on it for her...

No, not too old. But I would definitely use this as a negotiating point. If your wife doesn't put a lot of miles on her Explorer, it is possible that since the tires are about to celebrate their 3rd birthday, that their age could mean that the tires will be too old before they wear out. Sell...

I punch the seal hard with a finger to puncture it, then peel off what will come off easily. The rest stays in place. If a seal is extra tough, I use a utility knife and cut around the inside edge of the rim far enough that I can grab the seal with my fingers and peel it off. It has never...

It's no fun, to not be able to eat foods that you like. 😔
