    Battery Charger Testing Results

    Which "it" are you speaking of? I can verify from personal experience that Battery Minder brand does. And Granite Digital "save a battery" does not appear to. Many on this forum claim they have successfully desulfated with Pulse Tech. So Pulse Tech and Battery Minder clearly work.

    Euro specialized indy-mechanics all seem to use LiquiMoly?

    Okay, not unlike "partscontainer" on ebay. I order stuff and sometimes it comes from their warehouse, other times fulfilled by a wholesaler in my home state.

    Gasoline fixed my paint?

    The only solvent I use on car paint is 3M Adhesive Remover. Works great on tar, bugs, grease adhesives and other crap. Safe for all paint finishes. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40070712/ You can find it at auto body paint supply stores, and some auto parts stores. Kinda...

    Euro specialized indy-mechanics all seem to use LiquiMoly?

    They appear to be a wholesaler...do they have retail locations or an online presence open to the public?

    Rotella T6 15w-40 on Amazon

    I have some experience with this. I have been buying jugs of oil for amazing prices on eBay. Sellers are listed in NY, Malaysia, etc. Good feedback, the orders are all fulfilled by Walmart. Apparently the sellers can sell so cheap, since their cost of goods is zero, using hacked credit cards...

    beware: wrong capacity data from 3rd party vendor....

    Amazon clearly has the worst automotive parts look up I have ever used. It is terrible and I have enough knowledge to catch all the compatibility errors. But for the average person, they get screwed all the time. Just read the reviews from frustated customers that used their lookup and...

    beware: wrong capacity data from 3rd party vendor....

    Most auto manufacturers capacity specifications are to the middle of the min and max mark. I've noticed that for years. So I have to figure out what gets me to the max line. Some cars its one liter or quart between the lines, but for others it is two quarts or liters. Just depends on the...

    oil filter tightness question

    Ferrari does for all their cars with spin on filters. It varies with the filter, but this example is 30NM made by Purflux. https://www.ricambiamerica.com/218429-oil-filter.html Earlier Ferraris use UFI oil filters. Not printed on the can, but the tightening torque is in the workshop manual...

    Super tech oil filter quality

    That is what I do. Buy 8 or 10 at a time, along with engine air filters. $3 each for the oil filters, $15 for the engine air filters, with free shipping and no tax. I used Lewis Toyota of Topeka during the winter promotion. I have used a Supertech or Purolator in a pinch in the past, but...

    Sakura C-1138 cut open

    Sounds very much like my friend's experience in Liberia. They needed building materials and plumbing materials and he said to picture the absolute lowest quality products possible...then take a step below that...was all they could find. And you had to use them gingerly or they would break or...

    Layering Griots 3-in-1 Ceramic

    During the set up, ScottHD followed manufacturer instructions for application. Some give instructions on wait time, others don't give any information for layering. Griots did not. Here is the application (first video in the series):

    Add Water to Battery or Acid?

    I remember those days...I think they only allow shipping AGM and lithium motorcycle batteries now.

    Change Timing Belt Idea

    Works if the timing marks are properly aligned at the start. Its also assuming the timing marks truly correspond with TDC. I've seen examples using a timing wheel and the factory marks are off, and once properly timed, dyno results show hp improvements.

    What do you think about Super Start Platinum AGM Group 48 (O'Reilly)

    That is why the previous Costco (not the current) warranty was great. They gave you a 100% refund, then you bought a new battery which started a new warranty. The only issue is the new battery often had a higher price.

    What do you think about Super Start Platinum AGM Group 48 (O'Reilly)

    H6 follows a DIN standard. All H6 will look virtually identical if they are following the DIN requirements. Visual cues are not really relevant to DIN series batteries for brand identification. You need to check the product code or country of origin. When I searched online it was claimed...

    What do you think about Super Start Platinum AGM Group 48 (O'Reilly)

    Understand that group 48/H6 batteries fall under the European DIN standard. H5, H6, H7, H8, H9 etc, they all have very strict requirements for case dimensions, performance, construction and details. So regardless of brand, they will all look very similar with little variance other than case...

    Ammo & Firearms Deal Thread

    Well a quick check of online reviews of that brand of 9mm ammo, would suggest that people should very carefully consider whether it is truly a "deal" or simply a future headache.

    Layering Griots 3-in-1 Ceramic

    It's why layering is probably not necessary or beneficial. Its bonds and works so well, it is essentially repelling itself when adding the second coat. The second coat will simply ensure a uniform application and cover anything you might have missed.

    Layering Griots 3-in-1 Ceramic

    The point of the video review with Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax is that there is not benefit to layering. Some think that if you layer more and more, that it will improve gloss or protection. The actual testing, in real world weather of sun and ran shows it is simply a waste of product. There...

    Odyssey battery journey.

    There are different charging requirements for Odyssey and Optima when recharging it from a near or complete discharge. There is no special charging requirements for operation in a vehicle. Example: Ferrari started putting red top Optimas in their special lightweight model 430 Scuderia because...
