    "Effects of OEM vs K&N air filters on various engine parameters"

    VW GTI Top Mount Oil Filter

    [ Originally Posted by Chuckh From videos I have seen, they open the housing slowly to allow the oil to drain down into the transmission. It would seem that you have a DSG. If I had one of those I would not use a Fram filter on that of all things!! Just stick with a good Mann filter. Change the...

    2010 Toyota FJ

    Wheel locks really work?

    I am a LEO officer with 23 years in a low income town where thefts of all types are prevalent, I have seen perhaps 2 cases of legit stolen rims on vehicles as compared to perhaps 1 stolen vehicle per week. Meanwhile I have dealt with wheel locks that were damaged when mechanics did not realize...

    Should I change the ATF fluid?

    Originally Posted by hallstevenson Originally Posted by RGC I have often read/heard people say that you should not do an ATF fluid change on a vehicle if the fluid has gone a long period without being changed.

    Troque Pro App

    Originally Posted by ls1mike Probably has been discussed here before, but I loaded it and picked up an OBD II Bluetooth adapter for the Caprice as it only has coolant temp and volts in the DIC. Couple of things surprised me. It has really good oil pressure, more than I expected and the trans...

    RTG by far best oil I have ever used.

    I put in our 2019 truck that previously had the factory fill oil from GM, noticed ZERO difference after almost 5k miles now, same noises, same MPG which i was hoping would go up anyway since it was the factory fill and I will be replacing it with the same since I got a 5 gallon almost free...

    2019 F-150 when to change gear oil

    Originally Posted by 64bawagon The old school method of fill until it runs out is no longer accurate. The GM manuals all show a fill about an inch below the plug level, I suspect Ford is similar these days. Over filling the diff accomplishes nothing How can it not at least let things run...

    '19 WRX Transaxle and Rear Diff Oil Options

    My 15 wrx called for those to be changed at 30k miles which is what I did and it was pretty easy, good youtube videos out there show a few tricks.

    LC20 for VW 1.8tsi

    I think the GSW or alltrack should be the BITOG official vehicle also!! I have a summer set of 235/45/17 as pictured, rides great and the stock size on 16" will work for the hopefully mild winter here... I think you are gonna be fine with what you have although you are giving away some traction...
