    No pics because tires are boring. But got some Pirelli P zero in 235/35-19, the new PZ5 variants mounted, costed like 1100 bucks total but that’s what tires cost here so just bought them.

    New mobil 1 0w40 viscosity

    So is the SP version of the mobil FS 0W-40 worth buying or should someone just use motul xclean g2?

    What are you doing right now?

    Moving day so found the biggest trailer my Audi can pull, A4s are surprisingly quite good at towing. My model is rated at 3550 pounds tow. The dude in the picture is just my 44 year old dad, he got some kebab for the effort. Became a total of 217miles driving back and fourth like 8 times, 2...

    Who here uses a torque wrench on the cv axle nut?

    I do because im not changing a wheel bearing for fun. The salt here makes it easier to just buy another car than change bearings.

    1960-ish Engine-Wear Protection

    Any oil will be fine in a 1980s engine, just use s HDEO oil and it will last longer than the body. Also can’t you just change the can follower? Like in VW EA113 engines?

    What are you working on today?

    Fixed a coolant leak on a heater core on a L120H at a dump/recylcling centre, had to remove the whole interior and remove the core from the outside. Not fun.

    Most stringent HDEO spec?

    Just like we think MB 229.52 is a stringent spec. Here after treatment is a given because deleting it on a off high way machine is jail time.

    Most stringent HDEO spec?

    Light duty diesels don’t even count, a small 6L v8 that goes to Walmart isn’t even in the question.

    What are you working on today?

    No photos but did belts, a central grease hose and a few clamps on L60H this morning and a 500h service on L120H in the afternoon. 500h services seem so stupid. All we do is change the fuel filters, do a parked regen and check over the machine (1000h oil interval). Is supposed to take 1.75h but...

    Most stringent HDEO spec?

    Just wanted to know for fun what spec is the best to look for, if there even are any stringent specs for HDEO. I have read that VDS 4.5 is kinda stringent but every 15W-40 dino oil meets so that hard cant it be. Regards

    How Long Does Typical Engine Break-in Really Last ? - for maximum power

    Also on the dyno they go up to 100% load, not just low load high rpm. Going 10k miles babying a car is just not it. I’’d drive slower for like 3-4 tanks then just drive normally. They build the cars for the people who don’t know what engine oil is. They design them so they can be driven hard to...
