Anyone Driven Snow Compounds this time of the year :rolleyes: Gummi Bear compounds on hot blacktop.... I never have and am heavily contemplating it for this one stint.... Vehicle service warranty is right around the bend and scheduled brake flush on this is covered. I don't want to risk having...

For ///M applications, has there even been a thread on the Break in Oil/Diff to confirm whether it's thicker, thinner or just the same oil....but they just want to dump out what metal has come off at the break in oil change mile marker. I stated thicker, thinner and the same as I don't even...

Need to do a OCI on my pressure washer. It calls for Cat ISO 68 - available locally at Homer's. AMZ has it at well fro $3 more Would you guys recommend anything else over at AMZ,AutoZone, etc.

I've done mid cycle OCI on my current N63TU3. Was going to stretch the factory scheduled to October-November, but I just had it done.... All in all, my mid cycle OCI had like 3000 miles on it . Mainly as I got too annoyed as the -NAG- screen on the cluster was something that needed to be...

I check my tires out almost weekly.....before or after I wash the car, I aim to look a the treads wherever expose just short of where it faces inside the wheelweel or the part that is the ground. Removed all 4 wheels today and never noticed this slit with cord showing until it was literally off...

Hit a pothole.....only to realize I got 2 bubbles on the left side. Sigh.... Swapped to other Summer Set... 295/35/21 and 315/30/22 PS4S... May run them next season. May not. I'm on the fence. Could just order replacement just to get it over with on the -never ending punchlist- and be over...

One fleet in the chassis we may be keeping past 36 months so I've been doing mid cycle oil changes. I'm 2000 miles in. On the dipstick, it showed full and the -digital- reading it showed max mark upon OC Noticed on the digital recently , it seemed a 1/4 low even though dipstick did not seem to...

I've read the past threads and is there a consensus Is QS the same a PP E Just consider QS as a mid-cycle oil change on N62TU3 in between Manuf. Yearly OCI I've done one mid cycle sofar with Castrol 0W40...have alot in the garage. Not sure if worthwhile to just buy some QS for mid cycle while...

I'm looking to convert my dedicated snows to All Seasons for winter use......have summer PS4's as such summer shoes Currently Alpin 5 SUV in 295/35/21. I have to check but the inside sidewall of the tire is different than the front. The front does have a profile that protects the face if the...

On the right lane....had to cut a hard right to prevent the middle lane driver who insisted on breaking the right with no room to spare. I felt I touched the mini -curb-shoulder transition but when I pulled over mainly to see if I ### curbed rash the right side wheels. All was well so off I...

I'm pretty good when it comes down to rubber selection.... New Car - Knowing Winters Have been getting milder and milder each year. For 22" Winter Season, I put on 1400 miles on the new snows. Wifey put most of the mileage so I don't have any real data points. And in my mind, when I was...

Cafe aside..........N63T3 Engine, for mid-cycle engine oil changes between annual service changes, should I stick with OE LL-01FE O30, Motul Specific LL-01 FE . Costs is about the same on either. I do have *alot* of Castro 0W40 on hand in the garage as well

For those who have run Pilot Sport AS4 compounds, how has you experience been in the literal sense of ~all seasons~ I am considering this for one car who's snow shoes are due and instead of summer/snow compounds, going the All Season route. With all this global warming and all, winters have...

Never a huge fan of AntiSieze on exposed applications - in this discussed, the wheel hub . Since I am removing the wheel, I am going to take the opportunity to remove on this *new car* the rotor retaining screw and put some anti-sieze on it Snow shoes going on, summer shoes come back on in...

Got a 4 year 2 month old AGM Autozone Battery on the charger right now. It's been quite some time since I've ever done this. How accurate or not is this Load Testers that Autozone uses - if I recall, those MidTronics were fairly accurate. Man, like everything, :rolleyes: Looks like the same...

I found a -stash- in my garage of Penzoil Euro 5-40 today. Did a quick eyeball. It is LL01 rated. It's probably been sitting in there for at -least- a decade +. I think I probably tried it once or twice, and just went back to GC. Anyhow, just posting here. Who here likes the Euro 5-40 over GC ...

N63 - current *22* version - B44T3. While not necessary, I'm going to do a break in oil change on it . 300 miles away from hitting 1500 miles. WWYD. Stick with factory oil since I'm in warranty or the tried and true Castrol 0w40

Don't laugh but I swear.....in the last few months, my V8's have been sipping extra thirsty. It's like it's being used up at 33% more than it's normal rate.... I don't track mielage per tank but this is more seat of the pants observation in all 3 of the 'V8s.... Am I going crazy but has anyone...

My Food Chamber Sealer (bag vac) has a 1/2 rotary vane pump. Takes about 9 oz or so - this is the lube the manuf. includes with it. https://www.lubriplate.com/Products/Fluid/VACUUM-PUMP-OIL-Series/VACUUM-PUMP-OIL-LIGHT/VACUUM-PUMP-OIL-LIGHT/ For the regular BiToger's out there, just curious...
