Shame they classify it as such. Let's rephrase then; GTL vs. hydrocracked.

Could you be more specific about this four cylinder turbo engine? Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 will also have GTL base stock, whereas the Liqui Moly is going to be Group III unless you go with Synthoil which is POA based.

Thank you very much for that, looks to be an exact match right down to the L994 reference!

Thank you for the input! I wasn't aware Mann manufactured in the UK actually, so that was new to me and reckoned that was probably part of the contract not to have any references to the supplier. For my Ingenium 2.0 Petrol, I haven't seen any markings on the filter itself, which made me...

Wondering if anyone happens to be in the know, I was specifically wondering about the JDE37128. They are made in the U.K. but not much else. Thanks!

110%!

Amazing! I'm happy if a battery lasts 2 years here.

I would suggest installing something like a Gano coolant filter in the upper radiator hose to collect all the debris.

Wasn't the Ford Ranger and Explorer also part of this?

I'm so sorry. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Plain jane Tahoes.

Disgusting how they'll do anything for money. Hopefully they'll get a good dose of foxtrot around and find out.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the MB Sheet 235.0 is more robust with respect to oxidation and thermal stability.

Yup, still got my Envoy. Congrats on the purchase! :)

Of course, nothing beats R-12. But as far as the modern ones are concerned in this part of the world, the best performing is the Chevrolet Suburban/Yukon XL and their shorter wheel base siblings, the Tahoe and Yukon, and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Doesn't matter if it's 130°F ambient, it's like a...

I would use whatever makes you sleep better at night, you cannot go wrong with either brand.

Stick to GL-4 rated 75W-90 Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube for the transfer case and GL-5 rated Severe Gear 80W-90 for the differentials.

Ambient temperature plays a crucial role here. When it's in the 70s, I've measured temperatures as low as 33°F, but when its over 115°F I've never seen it drop below 55°F. Over 125°F, it's generally between 62°F - 65°F. This is on a rigorously serviced unit, including weekly cleaning of the...

Found out the hard way with my Lexus the first time round; I usually do this after installing a new oil filter and it almost redlined immediately after startup. 🫠 Works on all domestic applications in my experience, and might be a requirement for the USDM, but it hasn't worked for me in most...
