Similar sentiment here. I'd not trust Blackstone's fuel dilution measurements to start with; not the best track record. I will be starting a UOA trend on a GTDI N22 engine and need a new UOA source for this very reason. If mine, I'd run a Mobil 0/5-40 or Pennz 40wt and 5k OCI's.

I'm with you!! Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Plat w some Valvoline in there, I am confident if I have an issue, it isn't the oil choice!

Love this response!! Made my day! THank you.

I have used HPL but largely stick with Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Plat with some Valvoline when sales make it a no-brainer. HPL is as good as it gets but above my needs. Reading the oils you are using and seeking cleaning, I would run a few OCI's of HPL and check my filters. Then go from there.

NY has gotten really bad, even for NY. Glass counts against you as a claim and an animal hit with comprehensive counts as a premium increase as well. I have a 17 Outback with a large crack I won't fix due to it. I wish it didn't have EyeSite. I've been friendly with my Ins broker for 20+...

It's a quality food. $55-$60 for a 45lb bag.

4 Health (Tractor Supply) was recommended to me from out vet who stated it was as good as the lux dog foods but for less cost. I noticed a shinier coat for our dogs within a month. Have been using it for about 6ish years now.

On its way to becoming MA and NY.

I still use tubes on my road bike and they last a few thousand miles and road bike tires are really dependent on how you ride and where you ride. All mountain and Fat bikes are tubeless.

Way to be for your brother! I than an 04 in a F150. Mine ended up in the 220k area (I sold to friend) last I knew with no engine issues. 3 Owners and all of us knew each other as religious with maintenance.

+2!!!!!!! Kauai is my favorite HI island by far! Drive the entire island and see everything you can! IMO a perfect rental for Kauai is a convertible 5.0!!!!!

Don't sweat it. I'm a backyard wanna be mechanic, and this is one of the easiest things to do on an F150. I did simple radiator drain/fills 3x over a year. Absolutely, use distilled water. The only negative I encountered was a bit finicky burping to get the air out. Caveat: Go slow and...

I was way off on that one!! Thanks for correcting it. I started a thread on my last diff drain/fill. Here was the explanation @SubieRubyRoo Eh, this is somewhat true, but certainly not anywhere near “99%” (max is 90% FWD unless the fuse is pulled to disable the center diff) until the car...

Front diff shared with CVT and it shows.

I went Amsoil Severe recently in BMW X3 but have used Valvoline 75-90 Synthetic with good results many times. I've never used the RP version.

I've found the front diff on my 17 Outback appears to have a much harder life than the rear diff. I did drain/fill the front and rear about 25k and again at 125k. The rear was similar to new, while the front was a lot worse for the wear. Visual only but the differences were stark. I'll be...

There are no standards for tattoo inks. They also do not originate from the same source(s). I have tattoos on my left arm. I worry more about the buildup of microplastics in my body and my past exposure to the sun when I worked landscaping for coin during my college years. I'm also...

If I notice AC not what it should be the cabin filter is the first thing I check. Some are nice and easy while others are simply, puzzling. I recently checked the cabin filter on the 14 X3 and it was in need of replacement. We all know many German vehicles have some designed that make you ⁉️...
