I think a guy just likes Wix filters. He also uses their fuel filtres. I can’t tell if he’s sponsored by some brands or not. He often uses Rotella oil, but also sometimes Valvoline VR1, and sometimes O’Reilly (they do sponsor him) oil. They all have the vitamins and dinosaurs the engine needs...

I’ve seen higher for sure, but man, the oil is well into the 16 grade range at those temps.

Which of the common OEM oil specs (from VW, Mercedes, BMW, etc) include some form of LSPI test, and how do the tests vary? We know it’s a focus of API and ILSAC, but LSPI testing is also part of some of the other major euro OEM approvals, and even some diesel specs. Although, you often have to...

Also measured 237f oil temp heading back home, now in the 70s ambient temp. Slightly uphill overall at highway speeds, into the wind.

Unfortunately it’s still at the slow end of its class, but I’m sure it will catch up with development and possibly BoP adjustment.

Went to the Detroit GP today with my son. Had practice sessions for IMSA, IndyNXT and INDYCAR, along with IMSA qualifying. The highlight of the day though was the sheer menacing sound of the Valkyrie. NA Cosworth V12, no hybrid. Being so close and with so much concrete and buildings adding to...

Not fully sure. But the factory service manual states that typical oil sump temps are 226-234.

Just drove the Carnival on the highway today for the first time in awhile. Ambient temps in the mid 60s. After a short amount of time the oil temp was at 231f, and some of the drive was actually downhill. Going about 73/74 mph. Really thinking a 30 grade is in order here. I believe this is the...

Yes completely obsolete. My wife had a first gen Air that she retired like 3 years ago because it was obsolete then.

I remember buying GC for my 1997 Grand Am 2.4. I don’t actually remember using it though, oddly enough.

I called the number on the card a few days ago, and he emailed me a document stating that the card can be used at gas stations and with EV charging apps. Didn't mention any other vendor types.

For iOS, I use Car Scanner Elm 327. It's a silly name, but it works awesome. It's free with minimal ads, and $8 buys you the full version forever. I use it on our Carnival for oil temps, atf temps, coolant, etc etc. PIDs are dependent on what your vehicle supports, of course. But it shows live...

This does not work for these gift cards.

Didn’t work for me. Also couldn’t add to Apple Pay balance.

My 2016 Explorer has two AC line connections in the rear of the vehicle that look like the one in the photo (for reference, not the actual part). They are located right above the driver’s side muffler and collect all the salt and dirt and, subsequently, are a failure point because of the...

Both of my gift cards are activated under my name and address.

Doesn’t work either. Gets denied every time.

Guys, I honestly would not worry with this rebate. The gift cards are impossible to use. I could not use them for anything online. Every transaction got declined. I called support and they sent me a document saying they can only be used to buy gas (in store, not at the pump), or for reloading in...

I’m a little late to the party (didn’t get my license til 2005), but my first car, a 1989 Camry 2.0L, got Kendall 10w40 conventional and a Fram orange can. My dad went with me and helped me buy it. We probably got it simply because it was cheap at Murray’s auto, $1.99/qt everyday price haha. My...

Let’s say I have a 0w20. Starts its life at 8.4 cst, and a UOA shows that it’s down to 7.8 cst by the end of the OCI. This is purely hypothetical of course. But say that oil starts at an HTHS of 2.6. How does its shear/viscosity loss correlate with the vis 100C value? Is it linear? Perhaps it...
