So would you guys take the Pennzoil Plat 5-30W Euro or the QS Euro 5-40W with the price difference being only $5/jug?

:cautious: 4 weeks later, another AWD clutch…was the wheel bearing… Finally resolved and drove it to confirm. My lord they threw the parts cannon at it.

Sounds good - I'll split the difference and go for an 8k change interval next and retest and see if theres any notable difference.

So are you saying on the N55 the fuel dilution is “normal” and nothing any oil will resolve?

Would you think I run an 8k OCI next and send in another analysis, or continue at 5-6k intervals and just roll with it (plan is one oil analysis every 20-30k for safe measure)

N55 capacity is 6.9qts

I wouldnt call it a "lot". This mileage included 1000mi road trip, regular commute is 40 miles each way 3-4x a week, then weekend stuff is all 5-mi/way...some, but the cars definitely not living local. Put 16-20k miles a year on it.

2016 535i - N55 engine, 56,000 miles on odometer, oil has 5,500mi on it. Thoughts? The wears dont seem to really be showing anything concerning, but is the lower viscosity anything to think on or change the oil brand from current Quaker State Euro 5-40w? I was wondering if I can push OCI's to...

update of update of update... Dealer replaced the rear differential and subframe. They identified the noise at the rear differential and said it was traveling up to the front. I still dont really understand how a rear differential would cause vibration in the accelerator pedal especially when...

Update of update: shouldn’t have trusted dealer comment they test drove..cyclical vibration still there BUT it’s better. I wonder if it has been a bad tire but the driveshaft has misdirected me. Going to move tires front to rear again and see if it moves next week! What a weird issue. Does...

Just updating - ended up being the driveshaft assembly including center support bearing front to rear. Dealership figured it out, drove it high speed on the rack to see it. Baffled why it would change frequency when turning since it’s stationary, but it’s resolved. May have not even been...

Just did this right now- car up in the air and in drive going 10mph per the dash… When using a stethoscope, I believe I can hear some grinding noises on the passenger side and the driver side is pretty quiet. It’s not coming from the transfer case but in the knuckle, so I must assume that’s...

No shimmy in the wheel no. I have a quickjack - would you think it’s safe to put it up in the air and have a helper put it in drive and I watch and listen for anything?

Yes I was chasing the tire for a while because I was convinced it was the tire, but finally having the time to spend on it I had another drive the car while I moved around all the seats and determined it was FR. So then I rotated the wheels and the noise stayed at the FR so sort of killed my bad...

It does it in both directions unfortunately the frequency increases when going left or right

2019 Audi Q5 50k miles. Wife hit a road object on the right side. Rear wheel bent beyond repair, replaced it, but there is a vibration still. I’ve determined it’s front passenger (side that got hit). Rotated the tires and same place so I know it’s not a wheel now. When driving 70+ mph it has a...

thanks guys, sounds like in reality its either stick with Continental DWS06, or Pilot Sport AS 4. When I look at tirerack for the grand touring options, all of them have worse reviews, and a lower treadwear rating....so that essentially makes zero sense.

Currently have Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 on the car. They honestly perform well. Generally wear really well, currently have 22k on them and rear tires are showing 5/32" on the inside. I dont really need all season tires since this car will never see snow. Unfortunately when I look at all...

I have a small number of firearms - nothing with too long of a barrel. 1 rifle and a half dozen handguns. Looking for a small safe Currently have a cheap “cabinet” which doesn’t have a keypad and is key only. Any suggested brands or styles that keeps space in mind? This is primarily a...

when you say capped, take off the regulator and get a plug for it?
