I feel for your very personal issues, but this discussion belong to the OP who lives in America. Not sure if he reads this commemorable conversation. I've never seen a Walmart in my entire life. T-REX, the guy who started this discussion. .

. 1971/72 1302 still with a flat windshield, but with retrofit 1303 (1974) tail lights. (and 5.5" wheels and Monza tips) no factory painting anyway .

Irrelevant for the OP since he lives in America. For your interest: M1 ESP 5W-30 is ~8€ per liter at German online vendors. Not as cheap as in US Walmart shops, but certainly not horrendously expensive. I use to win my bets and I'm fully aware of the differences between Murica and Europe with...

. Ford Tourneo Connect = VW Caddy Btw, the Mk1 Amarok remains for South American markets and it gets uprated ex- and interior and tech. .

. I'd go for BMW LL-04 (same HTHS of >3.5 mPas) such like M1 ESP 5W-30. Excellent, easy to obtain and fairly cheap. Most Europeans use to run LL-04. A quick search revealed two 5W-30 with BMW LL-01 and I bet there are many more blenders selling similar offerings...

If you actually suffer from weak sychronizers you'd better use some dedicated MTF that include appropriate friction modifiers (some to increase friction). And NO other 'additives' since it makes matters worse. Clearly and simply: yes, worn synchronizers, even more quickly. Synchronizers hate...

Exactly. 90 percent of alignments are garbage. Search for a good mechanic and pay him adequately. .

. I'd agree with others. No issue running the same oil. - M1 ESP 5W-30 - Valvoline Synpower XL-III C3 5W-30 If you prefer Valvoline keep using it. OTAH M1 ESP appears to have superior base oils and probably better ad pack too. Lower Noack loss and higher flashpoint for example. .

. Yeah, PTFE? Hilarious. I'd skip it and use some proper dedicated MTF instead. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/hpl-manual-transmission-life.383211/#post-6900407

. Both sub 1 µm and above 50 µm are non-issues. The first is too small to cause wear, since the oil film is thicker. The latter is too large to pass a decent oil filter. What's most probably causing some wear is particles in size of 10, 20 or 30 µm, as they might pass your oil filter, of...

. tawdry, tasteless, awful .

I'd wait for a couple of hundreds of miles, but if it won't get better, you got the wrong MTF to your needs (I agree, due to FMs not matching your transmission). Lightweight ShockProof won't help. You want a thin MTF with a perfectly matched mix of FMs, tailored to your MQ350/02Q. I don't...

This, or some Ford MTF and BMW MTF LT-4 75W-90 (GL-3/4, very most Mini R5X, they all use Getrag units). -

actually? I'd go for some reputable PCMO with Porsche C40, VW 511 00 along with MB 229.5 approvals, run it for at least 5000 km and call it a day. .

. That's what I asked myself. We'll see when Mobil accounces its Ultimate 0W-40. .

Yes, of course, but the same applies to M1 ESP X2 0W-20 (VW 508 00) and probably to Ravenol ECS 0W-20 (MB 229.71 and JLW STJLR.51.5122) as well. If Jaguar call for STJLR.51.5122 oil for use in Kuwait their fuel appears to be appropriate. That said I'd prefer a 5W-30 like M1 ESP (or Rav VMP or...

. AFAIK not available yet. .

two new additions: - Mobil 1 ESP X5 5W-30 (VW 504 00/507 00) - Mobil 1 Ultimate 0W-40 (VW 511 00) At least new to me. Both on May 27th issues. -

Wait me, you own two cars including a 2019 BMW 540i and you can't afford corresponding brakes and tires? Don't get me wrong, but I can't grasp it. :unsure: .
