    Reached my limit. I need to buy a QuickJack

    I like my Quick jack too. Easy set up, car is up in 5 Minutes. And no more the risk that the car maybe slips from the Jack. If you dont feel 100% safe while working with the Quick Jack, just add some Jack stands as additional saftey.

    How hard to turn should a new water pump be?

    Maybe the box fell down at some point and this pushed the impeller towards the aluminium casing. Just guessing. It should turn easy, but you should not do it, as the seals need coolant to be lubricatetd. Bu a little twist to check it should be O.K. Yes, HEPU produces great quality water Pumps.

    Mobil1 0w40 vs LiquiMoly 0w40

    I am under the impression that the oil companys here watch each other closely and if they find out that a competitor sells oil with wrong declaration, their lawyers get busy. Therefore, no oil company could risk it here to sell oil with wrong advertising. Motul was sued by a competitor to my...

    Mobil1 0w40 vs LiquiMoly 0w40

    The german regulations are Strict. If you found 1 oil out of 100 that do not confirm to the regulation, this do not mean that the regulation dont applys or work. If a oil manufacturer in Germany sells "Vollsynthetisch" engine oil wich did not contain enough Group IV oil according to german...

    Just Found This Youtube Channel - Just Rolled In - OMG

    We have our mandatory saftey inspection ( TUV ) every two years here. They would seize most cars you see in these videos. The cars must be repaired to be declared roadworthy again. Police officers also would seize cars with these defects. They would be towed away. While it´s sometimes...

    ROWE Racing oils

    Yes, they are "only" a blender. They have some videos on Youtube. Marketing, but you get a idea of the size of the Company.

    ROWE Racing oils

    Hmmm... reading the German Oil Club Forum and digging through their UOAs, it seems to me that ROWE have a little edge over Liqui Moly and Ravenol.

    Son just picked up a '00 Honda S2000...

    Use 10w-30, 5w-40 or a 10w-40. Change it often. The engines tends to litterally drink Shell / Pennzoil / Quaker state GTL based oils. Be warned... Check the oil Level often. The engines consume oil and need top-off often. The dipstick has a "Nice" feature: The side how faces to the...

    Ferrari AGIP Sint 2000 10w50 replacement for catalyst cars

    The Easyest way: Mobil 1 5w-50 ? But usuallay these oils shear down to a -40 in short time. You maybe could mix a 10w-60 with a 5w-40 do get a 7.5w-50. You could find some Viscosity mixture calculatores with a google search. 10w-50 is today mostly used in Motorcycle oils. There are some...

    Autobahn vs US Interstate Speeds

    Many truck drivers are pushed by their companys to deliver freight "Just in Time". I feel pity for them. Many of them are from east european countries, because they are cheaper, they are on the road for weeks. I really dont understand it, but many drivers that drive slow in the middle lane on...
