    Why not use watered down wheel acid to clean: water spots,brake dust and track slag off car?

    When a person does a weekend at Summit Point Virginia International Raceway, I assume there’s a lot of brake dust all over the car. There’s also always a lot of track slag. It seems like it would possibly be more cost-effective to just water down wheel cleaner, and use that to clean the car. Is...

    FORD Gen 3 Coyote engine tolerances good for 15W-50 engine oil in the summer?

    It seems to me that 15W-50 would be a great engine oil to run in this engine for both road courses and daily driving in the summer since the temperature stays warm. The only question I have is the tolerances are the too tight for the bearings and such? Does it need a more watery engine oil...

    brake dust sticking to wheels

    Is there anything that can stand up to break dust etching/sticking to your wheels? Do any of the ceramic coatings stand up to the brake heat? I am assuming the brake heat, then heating up the wheels causes the ceramic coatings to soften, and also the adhesive on the wheel weights to let loose...

    How can one coolant or anti freeze work in all vehicles?

    I went to a Valvoline quick change place a few months ago and I noticed they use one coolant for all vehicles. I’m also pretty sure when I was at the auto parts stores that they have a model of coolant that supposedly works in all vehicles. I daily drive and use my car on road courses, so I’m...

    202x Ford MACH 1 with handling package, 9k miles, 10R80 transmission failed. Any real fixes yet to get 200k miles or more?

    It is stock engine and transmission, and no tune! My car is at the dealership now for the fourth time and I’ve also had an independent shop. The dealer it is at now is the only one that would replace any parts. They tried replacing the valve body, but they’re saying that there is internal...

    Is Mobil 1 SUPERCAR developed by Corvette and Mobil the best now for a 4 stroke engine?

    Is Mobil 1 SUPERCAR 5W-50 the best engine oil for all four stroke engine engines? The way I understand it since it is a 5W rating it should be great in cold weather or anything south of maybe New York? The 50 rating should mean it is great in hot weather and usages where you’re creating a lot of...

    HPDE 80 min. on Summit Point W/Mobil 1 SUPERCAR 5w50 in 2022 MACH 1

    When I talked to Mobil 1 yesterday, they told me that MOBIL 1 SUPERCAR 5W-50 and their euro 5W-50 were different. A couple of things that they told me were different was 1200 ppm zinc in the Supercar oil and only 1000 in the Euro. If I remember correctly, there was more phosphorus in the...

    Group 4 vs 5 base stock, is 5 always worth it?

    Is group 5 stock always better than group 4 base stock? Is it worth it to always buy ester vs PAO or any other base stock, if oil changes are done every 5,000 or even 10,000. miles with a new filter? As far as I have read so far REDLINE seems to be the only group 5/ester base stock. Also drive...
