    First turbo vehicle for me....oil thoughts?

    No oil I used could help when mine blew up. I don't care too much now that I have a new long block. Go with synthetic 40 wt and 3 to 5k oci.

    21 escape 211,000 miles

    Holy cow! Glad my commute is 1.3 miles. Even short tripping, lol! I used to drive 1 hr each way, 47 miles. Took a pay cut to be closer.

    Forgive me, BITOG, for I have sinned. N* owners/mechanics question.

    So , I have a thing for old Buicks. And a 2008 Lucerne CSX came up for sale locally cheap. And a guy needs a car, so I thought I could flip it fairly easy. But this northstar leaks so much oil, it is ridiculous. And its packed in there like a sardine. So if it's the block girdle or rear main...

    Where can I find Noack numbers for HPL car oils?

    I look at it like when described by Rolls-Royce as producing "sufficient" power. The Noack is undoubtedly very low.

    Brutal article about Hailie Deegan

    I think this is sarcasm. Ana Carrasco was a brief flash in the pan in world Supersport 300. In 2018 won the championship. One year in the slowest formula. They will never be competitive in the higher formulae.

    HPL 25w-60 is going into my EBR 1190rx

    Amsoil 20w50 is the recommendation from (now defunct) EBR. Mine has the race ecu and pipes. Yes, it has a temp gauge. Even with water wetter and 2 too cool it always runs warm in traffic. The bit heavier was decided because of a little hard to find neutral and proclivity to twist to the stop...

    HPL 25w-60 is going into my EBR 1190rx

    Had to call and email a bit to get the July 4th discount, but as usual they were exemplary in getting it to me and quick. Will add a review when I get a chance to ride a bit. Current fill is valvoline synthetic motorcycle 20w-50.

    George Russell gets his first win in Formula 1

    Max jinked, after Lando dived. I think the stewards got it right, as Max got the 10 second penalty for forcing a car off track. Car to car contact was cause.

    Oil consumption After Premium Blue Restore

    Lol, I've done the PBR thing on 3 vehicles, only one like OP having no issues. The 2 oil burners responded well to efforts to clean. The no issue one was my hyundai 2.0t which blew up 60 k miles later lol. YMMV.

    George Russell gets his first win in Formula 1

    The Ferrari drivers were relatively happy with how their Friday went, but the same couldn’t be said for their Saturday. Neither was impressed with the pace of the car in FP3, Leclerc calling it “extremely slow” over the radio. But they still expected to get both cars into Q3 in qualifying, even...
