Ordered 4 for curbside pickup at my local store and it was fulfilled with no issues. I shared this deal with a friend who lives a few towns over from me and he ordered 5 for home delivery, he received 4 and the remaining 1 was cancelled. No worries, he was quite happy with receiving 4 at that...

My thought process was that the engine detected knock and dialed back timing and / or enriched the fuel trim, possibly causing a bit of oil to wash out with fuel and burn. Again, just a thought. I have fun with mine by winding it out on each drive, but nothing too aggressive. I don't downshift...

Curious what octane fuel you typically use. I have the same year / drivetrain combo and I use very little oil between my ~5k intervals, if any at all. Miles are split evenly between city and highway. I use 89 octane as standard (E0, but I doubt that matters much) as the compression on the K24W1...

I switched mine to Red Line MT-90 (75W90 GL-4) when I dumped all factory fluids in the drivetrain of my 2014 as specified with what the Red Line product finder specified. Runs great, no issues.

Looks great especially as a touchless wash, thanks for posting. Also, I was not aware Bilt Hamber was distributing in the US. Had tried some of their products many years ago but then they became difficult to source without international shipping.

Please excuse the delay in reply and thanks to everyone who has commented with positive feedback. I ended up sick right after I posted the last update with whatever is going around and that put me out of action for a few weeks but back to normal now. Starting a new job here shortly so progress...

I have an Odyssey PC925T I put into the MGA in my signature in the beginning of 2022. Battery health checks with the Topdon tester I use even recently show it as near perfect health (resistance) and it holds a charge like no other battery I've experienced, even compared to the OEM flooded Honda...

Great deal on a great product. Autozone lists a 6 pack of these for $18.99 so even at regular price Costco is well ahead. I pick up the 10 pack at Costco as well and am glad they continually carry them rather than temporary inventory.

Now that the priority items for safety were addressed I moved onto some detailing. For the interior, I used a combo of my steam cleaner and vacuum extractor on the carpets and lightly cleaned off the leather. I treated the leather with Leather Honey 2 step clear and conditioner which brought...

After putting a few trips on the car we noticed at highway speeds over bumps the behavior it would show would be like a bounce-house movement from the rear. It wasn’t bump steer from worn shocks (though they may be worn anyways) because when the cabin of the car would move it would not require...

Continuing on with bringing the car up to what I deem as safe and reliable I focused on the brakes next. The XC90s could be built with 16”, 16.5”, or 17” front discs so this needs to be determined before ordering. Simply measuring what was on the car was one option, but as the VIN will indicate...

First thing was the engine oil service, I have about 10 jugs of Castrol Edge 5w40 from a deal I got in the stash, so I used 6 quarts of that plus a quart of HPL 30w Engine Cleaner to meet the 7 quart capacity. The filter used was a Volvo OEM cartridge filter. I have it marked for next service in...

The missus has been wanting something a little more comfortable than the go-kart handling of her Civic coupe, and when this XC90 showed up on Craigslist a few months back from a private seller about 20 minutes up the road from me I had to take a look. I’ve got some decent experience with the...

Purchased 2 jugs of Edge 5W20 about 4 weeks ago which were on clearance at Lowe’s for $19.xx each and submitted for the rebate immediately. Just got notified the $30 hit my Venmo yesterday.

Have you looked at ATO24 in Germany? Seems like a few options there, for example AMSOIL 5W40 Signature Series is available in quarts and gallons for a price similar to what you'd pay in the US and has a pour point of -45 degrees...

Have used Trav’s services on a set of Bosch LH-Jet 1.0 injectors which are just about impossible to find so refurbishing existing units was my only option. The car had been sitting for some years in the garage with old gas in them so they were not in great shape in any case for being 40 years...

Great cars, even my circle of friends has a love affair with P2 S60s and I can count at least 5 of them that have passed through their hands with only regret at not having them any longer. They sound great and do everything I need well. Mine has been with me over 16 years, my first "serious"...

You seem to have most of the fluids queued for replacement, in which case I will say to consider changing the front bevel gear (separate from the DSG), as well as the rear differential (separate from the Haldex) if they have not been serviced recently. I would still inspect the pads and clean...

Older thread here talks a bit about it, hope this helps: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/redline-cv-grease-for-tripod-joints.339404

I used it in the MGA in my signature for a number of years and it always performed well for me. To provide some background the age of the motor is unknown, it has been in the family for 30+ years and never opened other than valve adjustments. I run the motor hard once warmed up, and similar to...
