    Used Car - Thoughts on Undercarriage? - PICS

    Looks like minor rust. I suggest wire brushing, the rust, then apply rust converter twice, then paint over.

    Who’s making the best 5w30 these days?

    Actually I was a bit afraid to use 5W-30 because for the past 7 years I had Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 in my engine. It has KV100 of 12.8, and the R & P has KV100 of 10.8. However, the HTHS of Helix 5W40 is 3.6, and R&P is 3.24. So i guess its safe to use. I drove my car for over an hour in over 92F...

    PIAA oil filter 9000km 1 year cut open

    Cut open PIAA oil filter with a specialised tool for the first time. It was clean inside. What I didnt like was when I removed filter there was almost no oil inside, even though filter is mounted sideways. Its like the ADBV doesnt work. I noticed this with the ENEOS filters too. Maybe thats why...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    Just did my oil change, out came Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 and PIAA oil filter, in went Restore & Protect 5W-30 and Wix Oil Filter. I like the smell of R & P, its kinda like vintage "wood".

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    I drank the kool aid. I saw that Rock Auto now has VRP, so I ordered a pack of 6 quart. However, I noticed some difference in the label. Notice no mention of liqui shield and 79% less wear ? Batch number The other label I commonly see : which type of label do you have with your bottles ?

    Wow, only dropped viscosity a little. I guess 4 to 5k miles should be doable.

    Valvoline Restore Protect 5w-30, 5149 Miles, 14 S60 T5

    Yes for a 5W30, those wear numbers look real good. The Boron additives looked used up, New they are like 160+. Definitely an oil I would use for my car as I only drive 6000km max a year.

    I am getting rislone high mileage soon, two 500ml bottles. I am now in a dilemma , My engine has a 4L oil capacity. I am undecided to use 2 or 1 bottle for the next oil change. I suspect my turbo drain lines might be partially blocked as I get puff of smoke on startup when the car sits for a...
