There is a Federal consumer law against false claims. Basically you can claim something meets or exceeds X, and you better be able to back it up or you broke a Federal law and the company gets fined. However I feel our local oil producers exploit this law to avoid for paying for independent...

They reckon the synthetic blend of PAO and Esters gives them the SAE 10W properties without any VII. But this brand also doesn't worry about getting API certification either. I don't know. I do know my bike is notchy when cold, especially third gear. I think it's a premium oil, just not for my...

Thanks, good to know. Should do the job nicely then.

I'm trialling HDEO's for mixed fleet use. Latest says in literature either semi synthetic (on the drum) or full synthetic (on the website). MSDS lists 2 ingredients: Severely hydrotreated mineral oils >60%. And complex additive blend 10 - 30 %. It doesn't bother me either way, just curious...

To the OP. Next time you get an alignment get them to set the front camber to -1 to -1.5 degrees, not just 'to spec'. They may only be able to get max -1 degree with stock bolts which will still help a ton. Whiteline lower bolts will help get more neg camber if you need it. Subaru's need...

Fixed calipers have a firmer more positive pedal feel.

It was from an unopened bottle probably purchased 2017 or 18'. Bottle says no VI's, believe monograde.

Toppin Topping the polish with Seal N Shine would be optimal and is the correct combination. I use the black versions and get great results.

Your question indirectly posses the question of consumer or customer subjectivity. As if not all, most consumers, lacking the means or access to scientific data and testing, will base their assessment of product performance on subjective evaluations. Eg does it look/taste/smell good etc. True...

TW Seal n shine will be longest lasting from the consumer products except Soft 99 Fusso

Thank you for your comments and questions. I will take them under consideration.

Hmmm I see. Thank you for your meaningful contribution. Come to think of it, old oil was 10W40 in both vehicles if this makes any difference.

Oil based puns are always the best

Thanks good to know 👍

Good to know, thanks

No. I don't know HTHS of old oil. Both vehicles changed from a decent value brand, still full synthetic but at the value end of the market. A brand I would use again and recommend. Edge is just noticeably better in both vehicles. And it should be.

The two darlings of the Euro oil offerings. I am currently running Edge 0W40 in my B48 powered G30 530i. Even though it replaced very good oil with low mileage, it is noticeably smoother and has better MPG. 16 to 12 L/100 km spirited driving. I have also introduced my elderly parents to Edge...

I've decided to try a HDEO and move towards a mixed fleet oil for many of our vehicles. I'm just not happy with all these boutique oils and partially used, open containers. I mean, my bike uses 2.5 l of oil. From a standard 4 L bottle I then have 1.5 L left - to do what with exactly? I'm...

Just do two coats of Seal and Shine
