    RAF to get F-35A.

    I am not sure I wouldn't prefer the F-35C with its longer range and apparently higher payload. I'm sure there might be a slight performance disadvantage, though, in terms of speed? The C also has probe/drogue refuelling as a standard feature. Does the A offer the option of probe/drogue? I...

    RAF to get F-35A.

    I remember when the media blasted the F-15 Eagle in the 1970´s claiming it was too big, was at a huge disadvantage in a dog fight, etc.... They claimed a large number of F-5´s would defeat a small number of F-15´s. We see how that turned out. Fast forward to the F-35 and the same song and...

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    I have not read every response in this thread, so forgive me if I missed it. Has there been any talk of a bird strike? Maybe it could have hit a large flock of birds as it was nearing rotation....too fast and far along to abort but enough effect that it caused either engine shutdown or reduced...

    Do we have UOAs for M1 Supercar 0w40 in heavy track use?

    Following. I just put Supercar 0w40 into my C6. That´s a great photo!!!

    Cam2 ATF4 Transmission fluid

    I use Redline C+ in my manual transmission in my 2018 Jeep Wrangler. I felt like it became very slightly quieter and smoother with it. But that may be just my imagination. But it is what I run. They claim it is superior to ATF+4. I have no reason to believe it is not exactly what they claim.

    Financial graphic comparison of buying a new or used car

    It didn´t say anything about their income. It just said what they did. So WE must assume she had enough to invest that way. I doubt she starved. I think she´s smart and clearly has some money. That´s attractive! And now that she´s got at least $124k in the bank, she´s even more...

    2023 Wrangler JL 2.0 rental review

    Keep the doors closed, a steady bow wave, and you will be fine. :LOL: My heated seats have been soaked more than twice. Utterly SOAKED. I wasn´t brave enough to try them until they fully dried out. When dry, they worked fine. I wonder what Jeep would say about the power seats, or if any...

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    My question was, does Valvoline R&P contain PAO?

    Mobil EP 5W based on Group 2 and 3 oil?

    How exactly is Mobil 1 EP going downhill? Seems to work every bit as well in my Jeeps now as it did 7 years ago.

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    Everybody always talks about marketing, but do any major brands actually fail to do what they claim? My experience says Mobil 1 lives up to its claims 100%. So yeah, I get that marketing highlights trendy things sometimes, but I've not really seen claims from major brands that they can't back...

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    WOW! I guess that stuff does work with 20k OCI´s. I´m not brave enough, but that is impressive!

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    Well, we don´t know everthing that is in it. Only what is vaguely represented in the SDS. It would be fun to know. All I know is that when I had the valve covers off my 2008 Jeep Wrangler 3.8 to replace the gaskets, the engine looked like brand new. I think it had around 170,000 or 180,000...

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    Looks like between 10 and 25. But that´s 0w20. The 5w20, 5w30, and 10w30 haven´t had any on the SDS in quite a bit longer, if ever. IIRC, the ESP X2 0w20 is the same, between 10 and 25 percent. That´s still better than any other over the counter 0w20 I´ve seen. I think ESP 0w30 is about...

    Engine Oil choices at a Ukrainian version of American Lowe’s

    Maybe motor oil is how they are now laundering money? :ROFLMAO: (Just kidding. Maybe.)

    Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

    Funny, but every Mobil 1 oil I've used with any amount of PAO in it has kept my engines sparkling clean. So in my mind, it is strictly a marketing issue. Good on Valvoline. Out of curiosity, does Valvoline R&P contain any PAO? If not, what is in it that is doing all the cleaning? I'm...

    Which cartridge oil filter to use?

    How good is the filtration? Mobil 1 used to be 99% at 30 microns. I don´t know what Wix E/P or Hengst numbers are. I use mostly Fram Ultras in my Jeeps. 99+% at 20 microns. I used a bunch of Mobil 1 filters for awhile, though, because I got them for $3 each on clearance at Wallyworld 6...
