Yeah, i could do that, it just doesn't burn or leak barely any oil since i did the valve stem seals so i barely ever have to top it up , i just recently took it on a road trip and did about 1200 miles , at times getting it up to 100-110mph and it didn't use a drop, and that oil already had...

It specs exactly 5 Liters so i pour in almost the whole jug in but leave in a little bit as it's to be assumed there will always be something left in the oil pan

Different countries get different looking jugs

Just bought some of the new API SP GTX for the Capri, let's see how it goes, the oil in it right now is a mix of Repsol synthetic blend 20w50 and Mobil 1 5w50 but it's been over a year and i want to change it. This is also a synthetic blend.

He did indeed

The old girl is finally ready, chuffed! But i am going to have to change the oil as it stinks of gas, they've moved it around the shop a lot so a lot of cold starts with the automatic choke on meaning a lot of fuel dilution.

And for example i am from Finland, there until recently you could not even buy beer in supermarkets, now you can but only beer. All other types of alcohol are sold through Alko which is a state run company and everything is heavily taxed to deter people from drinking as in the past there was a...

Oh yes, great idea. Here it's Id and paper ballots.

Right, makes sense.

I always think it's funny how in the USA they ask you for your id anywhere when buying alcohol even if you are obviously +21. Here in Spain you can even buy alcohol in the self check out area of supermarkets and nobody asks for Id's , the attendant at the self check out just looks at you and...

Slovakia i believe

GDi and CRdi Diesel, i believe there are still some port injection engines being offered in some of the smaller models like the Hyundai i10 and i20? i believe they still spec 5W-30 but i may be wrong.

I'm from Spain, but i follow many American so called Youtuber Mechanics on Youtube Facebook IG etc. Almost every day i see either a Instagram or Fb reel about Kia and Hyundqai gasoline GDi engines being crap and blowing up all the time. But i just don't see that here, i know several mechanics...

Once i was checking the valve clearances on my 1975 Ford Capri and upon removing the drivers side valve cover i found a piece of duct tape in there, small, about maybe an inch square, no idea how it got in there as it was not the first time i did a valve adjustment, i do it every other year.

Over here 10-15k kms or 6-9k miles is the norm and has been for years, many modern cars allow for 20k / 2 years, i would not go over 15k km in any car personally.

The Shell 5L bottles i've purchased here in Spain did not have any aluminium foil.

Have used many such oils and haven't had a problem, just buy a brand you can trust.

Yup, it was in an article on Popular Science in 1976

Run 15w40 HDEO in the warmer months and a high mileage synthetic in the winter.
