Hopefully!! I’d be pulling the pan sooner rather than later, and checking stuff with my own eyes and hands. Keep driving to 1k miles and depending on what’s wrong, you may have a rotating assembly that can be turned into some fancy yard art with a HF mig welder, because something’s been damaged...

I’ve seen one while I was in the Bay Area. I’m not denying it’s an impressive machine, but for $250k it shouldn’t mimic a now-defunct, ~$25k Chrysler IMO. Make it like a Taycan, or angular and creased like a Ferrari/Lambo. Something that stirs the soul enough to match the car’s performance...

Water in the fuel? Ethanol absorbs water and it’s been pretty humid lately.

Replacing 0w20 with 0w30 you’d probably drop all the way from 47mpg to 46.9mpg. It’s literally tenths of an MPG at operating temps at worst. Environmental factors will far exceed any noticeable attribute of going to a heavier grade. Heck, pump gas can vary 3-4% in energy; just that would be a...

Looks like kissing cousins to a Chrysler 200 TBH…

Haven’t you watched the mostly peaceful protests? Somebody’s gotta pay for all that damage.

Always decline PIN # entry due to hacking. Run as credit 100%.

MoS2 is not the same form of moly that is found in good engine oils. MoS2 can fall out of suspension and accumulate at the bottom of the pan; trinuclear moly is the better moly and will not separate. MoS2 is for older engines and differentials, not engines.

I’d ditch the WIX XP faster than trying to mule some coke past a TSA dog. They’re built well but are rock catchers at best. Even the NAPA 7712, teacup that it is, would be preferable IMO, but the 7055 and 3593A filters fit as well and are perfect for 5k OCI. I’d personally never use Kirkland in...

There is no operational difference between 0w20 and 5w20 above -30*C. As a matter of fact, the 0w20 may actually be thicker than a 5w20 at any temp above -30*C.

9.9cSt@100*C is clearly a 30-grade… and you can’t ever guess the winter rating from a V/UOA with any accuracy.

This nostalgia thing is a dark path, friend. This is like pining for an ex-girlfriend/wife to come back. “Oh, this oil would have fixed why I got rid of her and everything would have been peachy….” If it wasn’t the engine that was the downfall of that vehicular relationship, it would have been...

C3>A3 for compatibility

>3.5 and never worry about it for any stock vehicle sold today in the US.

The Escalade V starts at $150k IIRC…

I can’t wait until AI starts replacing some of these CEO’s… if it can happen for one, it can happen for all…

Amsoil SVG is a great gear oil and choice for Subaru (or any, really!) diffs. Just ask @Pablo! 🤣 Can’t go wrong with either choice.👍🏻

FIFY.

I’d tell you about my favorite brand of ATF vacuum pump, but they all suck! 🤷 I have an older EWK, but I got a steel 4gal HF one on wheels that hooks to compressed air so no manual pumping required. Has a sight glass and drain plug too. Got it on clearance for $49 with a variety of tubes &...

Nothing regarding firearms should be illegal unless you use that item during the commission of a violent crime. Otherwise, the laws will always potentially be able to be twisted against otherwise law-abiding citizens. Just think if there was as a registry, transfer fee and background check for...
