    Mann HU816 (28 month service)

    Just did an oil change on a moderately modified E92 N54 335i today. This was previously my car that I sold to a good friend back in July, 2016. He changed the Hengst filter with a Mann sometime in February, 2018 but for some reason kept the oil in. The oil that I drained out has been in the...

    Cartidge Hengst 11427521008HE Open

    OEM filter for 2007 BMW 550i with the 4.8L V8. Was in service for 8 months and 10k km (6k miles). One interval of Castrol Edge FTT 0W40 European formula. I think BMW recommended 15k mile OCI's. I've always changed it twice a year. No drama here, filter is working as intended.

    [Cut Open] Fram XG9688

    First C&P for me. Sorry for the blurry pics as I was in a hurry. Filter was on a 03 Mitsubishi Montero 3.8 V6. In service for 14 months but only logged 16k km (10k miles). Oil used was 2 equal intervals of MotoMaster 0W40 European formula and Mobil1 0W40 FS. Filter held up great without any issues.

    Coolant recommendation for 03 Mitsubishi Montero

    Vehicle is 2003 Mitsubishi Montero with the 6G75 3.8L V6. I recently replaced the timing belt along with water pump and tensioner with help from a friend. We were originally going to drain and flush the coolant but ran out of time. We ended adding Motomaster LL premixed coolant to replace the...

    Oil not fully drained after oil change

    Vehicle is a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero with the 6g75 3.8L V6. I bought this vehicle 2 months ago with 160k km (100k miles) on the odometer. For preventative maintenance I've changed every single fluid on this vehicle. There is a minor valve cover leak which I intend to address next spring. When I...

    MotoMaster European Formula 0W40

    During the last couple trips to the local Candian Tire to pick up PP and PU I've noticed MotoMaster recently released European formula (5L) in 5w30, 0w30, and 0w40. I've never had time to check out the back, until today. So 5w30 and 0w30 have the following approvals: -VW 502.00, 505.00 -MB...

    Advice: Odyssey or Sienna?

    I am in the market for a slightly used mini van. Looking for a 2013+ Odyssey or Sienna in 8 passenger configuration, middle of line trim. A few thoughts: - I did rent the T&C for a weekend and had it blown me away I would have seriously considered it despite the 7 passenger seating. Needless...

    I am out of date with Castrol synthetics. Earlier today I went to CT looking for GC 0w-30, while they had those in liter sizes they didn't have them in 5L jugs. So I ended up picking up 4 jugs of Castrol Syntec 0w-40 European formula, this is the made in Belgium stuff. LL01 approved...

    Synthetic vs HM oil in winter?
