    The comment on BITOG that provided me great hope this week “turning rotors”.

    https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/739425 This is a comment section In Malaysia about the tarrifs, you can read through and see the same sentiments I echoed. Our govt tariff the hell out of imports and a lot of us are unhappy about it. If D.T is only doing this as leverage to force other...

    The comment on BITOG that provided me great hope this week “turning rotors”.

    I am a Malaysian and my country taxes products from overseas way too much. I am hoping this round of tariffs from D.T would force my govt to negotiate tariffs for US made products, as there is a huge market here for US made stuff like oils and greases. There are plenty of people who buy...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    I am currently on 2500km with VRP 5W30. I noticed one thing odd. After not driven the car for some time like 2 weeks, when I check the oil on the dipstick, the oil is super black. I then wipe the dipstick and put it back, and pull it again, the oil is honey colored. Other oils do this also, but...

    Why Does Low Cranking Rpm Cause No Start?

    It might not be the sensor itself, maybe just bad grounding for that voltage to the ecu. That was the case in my car. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/car-wont-start-cold-and-stalling-at-hot-idle-intermittent-problem.344579/#post-5866586

    Why Does Low Cranking Rpm Cause No Start?

    If its fuel injected low rpm might cause the crank position to not generate enough power to the ecu. Since it does not know engine position It wont ignite spark.

    Valvoline R&P Oil Burner Test Results

    I know that, and yes I meant 4102, but then again I always use a high TBN ACEA A3/B4 oil and only run it to 5000km so while the TBN is nuked it should still be enough for that run.

    Valvoline R&P Oil Burner Test Results

    Why not use Rislone 4102 or HPL EC30 instead of VRP. I hear those also cleans piston rings.

    2 Valvoline Restore & Protect tests

    I put in VRP 5W30 in december, and thus far I have about 2000km on it. The oil has turned darker quicker than other oils, but It did not solve my problem of a semi clogged turbo drain pipe. I am however impressed with the quietness of the engine. I exclusively use 5W40 before this, and VRP is...

    Does this look like a sticking caliper?

    Could be, your rotor looks grooved rather deeply.

    Rear arms polyurethane bushings

    I used Super Pro poly bushings, they have knurling inside to keep grease in, but they also have issues with the inner tube being shorter than the bushing. I noticed on a lot of videos on poly U ushings squeaking, its always the faces of the bushings get stuck on the subframe faces, and because...

    What makes Euro oils different?

    Euro oils have higher TBN. API SP alone normally has 6 to *+ TBN, Whoopsy blunder by me, coz I only ever use ACEA A3/B4 oils.
