    Idemitsu 0W20 High Mileage (75kmi)

    I called and spoke with a technical representative at Idemitsu yesterday, and he told me that the IFG is the exact same formulation as the gold bottle oil. The only thing that changed was the name to IFG and the packaging.

    Very good info that I haven't been able to find anywhere on some oils listed. I was very curious about the Kirkland Signature oil, since we just got a Costco membership. After some digging, and a final decision to abandon 0w-20, I got my wife's '20 Mazda CX-5 on PUP 5W30. Glad to see it's on...

    Supertech HM FS 5W30 D1G3 VOA

    Well, sell their oil to us or someone who would care. The average end user's order of priorities are price first, color of the bottle second. VOA isn't even on their radar.

    I have my Garmin dash cam wired into the interior fuse box in my CR-V. It's way better and cleaner of an install this way, plus that's how the parking mode works. It can detect motion or impacts and begins recording when I'm not there. You can select either or both modes. When I used it with the...

    Idemitsu 0W20 High Mileage (75kmi)

    Does anybody know, or know of a VOA on Idemitsu 5W30? I'm not seeing it here or on the PQIA site. I'm interested to know if the Moly and Boron levels are anything like the 0W20 HM.

    Idemitsu 0W20 High Mileage (75kmi)

    Did I see an Idemitsu 5W30 HM? Because if the Moly and Boron areas high as the 0W20, I'm in.

    Schaeffer's 9000 5w30 Supreme

    You mentioned VVT and cam phaser issues. Have you ever seen Schaeffer's oil mitigate or eliminate the noise (rattle) associated with the cam phasers on start up, or just not develop the noise?

    Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 starting issue

    Everyone, I changed the oil in the tractor last night and when I started it up to get oil to the filter - it started right up, three times in a row. It had had the filter off for a week and must have drained so much oil out of the entire engine, that it took 2 whole quarts vs the 1.3 quarts...

    Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 starting issue

    It's EFI, there's no shut off necessary. Always use stabilizer, do not run out the fuel but usually it's almost empty. Probably a single digit of gallons of fuel.

    It’s been a while . 2009 honda accord 2.4l cold start rattle noise

    I know quite a bit about this. The rattle happens because oil is draining out of the VTC actuator (intake cam gear). And the rattle is the result of oil being absent until oil pressure fills the cam retard chamber. Thicker oil DOES help, but the spring that acts upon the locking pin is the key...

    Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 starting issue

    To avoid having to replace the pump, I'd like to explore adding a one way check valve in the fuel line as close to the pump as possible.

    home security camera question

    Many of the Chinese made cameras sold on Amazon, eBay, Wish, etc are ALL the exact same cameras but slightly changed in appearance. And there are 5000 different apps that run them. Hell, many of them will run on several different apps. The key is, if you buy these, buy ones that will work on...

    I read that in Russia you cannot get car insurance without installing a dash cam. I love my Garmin Drive Mini! My only complaint is that it takes too long to load the video files and takes a really long time to export them to my phone.

    Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 starting issue

    To answer all that responded so far, I have not tried turning the ignition on and waiting but I did order a tune up kit that consists of air filter, spark plug, and fuel filter. Going to install those items and see what happens. It is running on stabilized 87 octane that is 6 months or so old...
