    Castrol Magnatec SUV 5W30 C3

    Yes I saw that one in Repco today, I had to pass on the Nulon 5w30 that's on special.. I've got 100L mixed others stashed that I have to get through first... What's your opinion on it? Seems like just another marketing point of difference to bring more "on board" to "move forward" with the...

    Acetone in fuel research paper

    Stumbled over this:Acetone in fuel while musing on a detonation issue with the Swift in my sig.. FWIW it only detonates on #2 & #4 by the plugs anyway... Big pluses for the emissions and power up to a point...

    Utah legalizes lane Filtering

    Agree. The safest place for a rider is away from the "mind bubble" tanks on the road. Keeping away from cars = life. As the old adage goes: Motorcyclists don't get old by accident.... Filtering/splitting is legal here up 25 kph.

    Air-Cooled VW: Oils and heat transfer

    Don't really know, but a large built German family I know had a Kombi van 1.8L?, used to tow a small Ski boat up a range after a week end skiing on the river. They would pull up at the top of the hill and "let things cool down a bit". With a shrug of the shoulders I asked why? He said they...

    About an hour from now, Australia to hit 25M population

    Quote: Forgive my ignorance but from where are these immigrants you speak of coming from? That particular fellow is a Sudanese. A really likeable guy actually, with a great honest work ethic, we/I have a lot of time for him at work. It is just the cultural and ergo his expectations of what is...

    About an hour from now, Australia to hit 25M population

    I see reports that the population of 25M was expected in 33 yrs just a few years ago!!! We have been right royally "Helically torqued hard", mostly by those who make the most noise about "being the party for the worker". One of our new "Aussies" at work was talking about the value of his...

    Shell Rimula R4 X

    Specific information, other than the Spec sheet no... Opinion yes: I use it in my Pajero as below and it was better than the Diesel Magnatec the dealership put in, fleet/owner drivers (truck) swore by it. Better in my case as far as it kept it's colour longer and did't vary as much on the...

    Nulon Oils - 10w-40 Group 3 Full Syn

    Yeah mate, I have and still do use their products. Good gear! I have used that oil in a 6 cyl. BA Ford Falcon, made the motor quiet and it "spun up" quicker on acceleration than the semi syn. In the summer months it will go in the Suzuki Swift, I have a stash already Good price too, I think...

    Motorcraft, 5W-30, 2425 miles, 2018 3.5 F EcoBoost

    Yep it's a Diesel, and the DPF regen will decrease with use (it makes the particulate matter less & smaller). Other adds I have success with is Lucas upper cyl. lube and oil additive (when used as a top up before oil change) and PTFE adds in a manual G/box/diff oil, although grapeseed oil @...

    Motorcraft, 5W-30, 2425 miles, 2018 3.5 F EcoBoost

    Just out of interest pull the oil filler cap off with the motor running. I suspect the rings have not bedded in yet, you may have a fair bit of blow by. This has helped me seal up rings : http://www.fpc1.com/ also improved the economy and power slightly needless to say. I run it in the Pajero...

    Noise on cold start

    10w40 Nulon semi-syn or fullsyn should quieten it down. The Nulon 15w40 premium mineral is good value ATM. The Nulon gear seems to help things run quiet. The Anti drain back valve on the filter seems dodgy change that as well.

    Which oils do you want, but they don't make ?

    Free ones! But seriously I think there is enough not free ones out there already. I guess to play the game though I reckon they need an oil which is a game changer. Tough enough that a hammer blow would not get through it onto steel plate and last long enough for a long OCI, with change to...
