Tell me please. Originally Posted By: Jarlaxle Hey, I'll be in that area tomorrow & Sunday. If interested, I can suggest a much-better way to get home than I-90.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I just arrived in Bedford.

Hey all, I will be driving to Boston tomorrow to see a friend of mine and will be returning back Monday. My friend is new in the area so am I. I have found a couple of places to visit but would like to ask the local BITOG members of any places they can recommend. I will be staying in Bedford...

Clean engine and thanks for posting pictures!

Nice pics. What oils were used in both engines? Originally Posted By: OVERKILL Originally Posted By: rshaw125 I would wager that the Mobil 1 0W40 has been cleaning. Maybe a lot dirtier when the car got it's new owner. Yup. I bet the original oil was the BMW 5w-30. I've posted many pics of...

This is my friend's BMW 2001 325Ci I6 UOA. He bought it in January 2012 at about 160,000 miles and used only M1 0W-40. His OCI is between 7K and 10K miles on the oil. Car leaks a bit and he adds about 2 quarts of M1 between oil changes. Oil filter used was NAPA Gold 75/25 Highway/City We still...

I like the cheap Ancos sold in WalMart. Been very happy with them and they last me about a year.

Originally Posted By: MikeySoft Nice job on your total millage. I like to compare UAOs to my own. The OCIs for my 2003 Accord is similar to yours but my total milage is less. I've notice my iron and lead are a lot less then yours. My tbn is also higher. I don't know if this is because of the...
