Is rated vehicle fuel tank capacity nominal (100% liquid volume as installed) or permissable (95% liquid volume)? Fueling method: High until first click, wait 20 seconds, Low until first click. Is this likely to result in overfill? Low Fuel Light Specification - 15% of rated capacity...

Hate to break it to you, but there is no 2nd Gen Convertible (1970 - 1981).

Everyone KNOWS I'm broke and I'm keeping it that way. My sibling had it together and retired at 40 after buying one preowned car in their working lifetime.

Looks just like piston slap wear on a GM LS V8. They have corresponding wear on the piston skirt.

Yep I know Porsche shortened their 2 year interval to 1 year when they went GDI.

I wanted a 2024 Civic LX Manual, but I have limited mobility in my back so I settled for a 2025 HR-V (despite the CVT).

Is it really going to matter if your 7.9 cSt @ 100C oil is 2.60 HTHS or 2.59 HTHS?

Life ebbs and flows.

Might try Valvoline Restore & Protect Synthetic if you are trying to do some cleaning. Some have had positive results with it and it's still under $30 at WM per 5 qt.

Or perhaps the oring like type that sits in a groove.

I don't think machining was the issue (at least it wasn't in the Hyundai/Kia and Toyota Engines). It was an issue with getting all the metal chips out after machining. Whether it was mostly procedure or block design I can't say. Regardless the bearings didn't like it much.

Is that a typo? That's a 20 Grade.

Isn't that the point of Service Interval set to Flexible? Isn't that when Mazda's Algorithm selects the correct service interval?

I don't think 5W-30 will hurt it, but it was actually designed in conjunction with a special Castrol 5W-20 as I understand it. I don't believe It is imported into the USA. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it has a higher HTHS than out 5W-20.

Follow your owners manual and document your services. A log should be acceptable, but purchase recept for oil, filter and time stamped image of mileage wouldn't hurt. Never have to much corroboration in a dispute.

Shaken not stirred. Otherwise you bruise the molecules.😉

Shell Rotella T4 10W-30 12.1 cSt @ 100C (This may be marketed as a Rimula there. You might be able to look up the product data sheets and match it up). That's an HDEO that is still recommended for both Gasoline and Diesel both on and off road including areas with high levels of sulfur in your...
