Looks great. [censored], that filter media looks really small!

Most motor sports nowadays are pure [censored] and boring. Almost all of them. They are too regulated. Mandatory chassis, engine, transmission, fuel, design, electronics . . . What the heck is going on. I used to be a fan of F1 until they started with insane aero and engine regulations and then...

My kitchen strainer filters better than that thing!

Yes, you can use the old charger without any problems at all. As you said, it will only charge slower.

Cheap, same quality as original and to be honest, there arent that many options for Euro cars. Also, not a single european oil filter manufacturer that i know of states specs like filtration efficiency, flow etc so we cant differentiate the OEM filters from aftermarket filters. So why bother...

Mazda MX-5 Subraru WRX STI Civic SI Ford Focus RS Yeah, most options are japanese. German brands are quite a bit more expensive. EDIT: Oh, i thought you were talking about brand new cars only, hence my list.

Looks excellent. Without a doubt one of the best filters money can buy. Ill order a couple ones for my Toyota.

Oil changes every 3 weeks? No wonder it looks like that and on top of it, its a hybrid.

Yeah, that Ace oil surely looks tough. Seems like it has a good additive package and excellent NOACK.

There are some Toyota's filter that definitely do not look as good as this one. Like the 90915-YZZG1 that is commonly used in almost all their fleet.

Filter quality looks pretty good. Is this filter made in USA? BTW, you posted this in the wrong section! Theres a sub forum just for filter porn.

EDIT: False alarm, i thought i saw a tear in the ADBV. Hahahaha

I run Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 on all my euro cars. It is also the cheapest by far fully synthethic oil available here. (Theres one that is slightly cheaper, Castrol but i don't "trust" their claims as much as Shell)

I'd guess it all depends on how the TC module is programmed. Look at the Porsche one, same test and no diff locks or LSD AFAIK, all electronic and it got through everything. Seems more like the Japanese/Korean manufacturers got the TC programming wrong or are lazy to do it properly. (Or maybe...

I'd take the Hyundai over the Subaru. Gotta be honest, i've never driven either of the two BUT i've been in both for long hours during trips. (Friends and relatives cars) The Subaru isn't nearly as comfortable as the Hyundai, it's suspension feels hard and doesnt absorbs road imperfections very...
