    If thick oil offers more protection, then isn't cold oil best?

    If the oil is devis rated it will will forever, two users on this forum said that so it must be true.

    Best GM Gen V DI engine oil - with or without E85

    Most euro engines don’t have issues with LSPI anyway. They have been at this small turrbo engine game for 25 years now.

    What are you working on today?

    6000h service on a L120H which includes a valve adjustment. Has do be done every 2000h hours on these Deutz engines. Good thing the new L120H gets the new Volvo D8M so it only has to be done every 4000h.

    Rear diff and front diff/tranny oil for a Audi A4 Quattro?

    Amazon isn’t somewhere I would buy anything lol, they have very suspicious stuff going in their Swedish warehouse, but that is an another discussion. But thanks for recommendation on the Motul oil!

    A B7, Motul seems like a good pick. Easy to find and a European brand. Thanks.

    Rear diff and front diff/tranny oil for a Audi A4 Quattro?

    All i have seen is that the front diff should get 75W-80 and the rear 75W-80/90. Anyone got any experiences with oil for this system? I just want to change the oil and be done with it. It really never has to be done. So the car probably has oem oil. Are Ravenol gear oils any good? Thanks in...

    Oil Change Intervals 3k vs Longer with full synthetic

    I do 6200miles because it is 10000km which is easy to keep track of in every car i own. Never had any issues. Doing 3000miles for me would be a oil change almost every month or two. Way too often. Oil here is 60-100 bucks for 5L

    Cheapest version Supertech

    The 4.0 is also very under powered anchor more or less doing nothing, with pushrods and a design for like 1890. If it did not last on 10w30 i would be supriced.

    Cleaning the engine bay very regularly is the best approach

    I just use the high pressure washer on everything. Never broken anything. Use some degreaser too sometimes.

    Diesel oil color

    All diesel oil is black the second you pour it in. Everyone saying anything different is lying. (According to me, I change 100s of liter of diesel oil every month.)

    Post your latest oil change

    Changed out some SHU 0W-30 ECT for Ravenol VST 5W-40, engine got a bit more quiet. Not has much chain noise. Changed out some Wix filter for a Mann HU719/6X. Staying with 5W-40 now.

    What are you working on today?

    Had to do something today so changing the oil, wiper blades and the cam follower for the HPFP. Was going to change the valvecover gasket but couldn’t find it at home so whatever. Was also going to fix an exhaust leak they didn’t like at the yearly MOT but we apparently don’t have any argon for...

    Royal Purple...how does it compare?

    Royal Purple has never been sold here, that says something to me. Probably garbage.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    must be the best oil due to being Dexos. I have seen the thread, dexos is the best ever made. /s

    Is Shearing and Oxidation happening at the same time?

    Engines with a lot of chains, turbo and DI. A pushrod V8 won’t tax an oil that much.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Bought some filters and trying Ravenol for the first time. Everything is made in the EU too which is good.

    Any oil will be good for a American engine. As we all know.
