Checked their page and it just seems like marketing, just like K&N. I guess Mann has cone filters, but I don’t see any built in velocity stack https://catalog.mann-filter.com/EU/eng/dimensions

Having a little bit of a dilemma here. I would run solely either K&N, AEM, or generic dry eBay air filters. But it really seems from recent research that cone filters don’t filter as well as stock air box panel filters. Info #1 Info #2 But the issue being, as I can usually notice a power...

The car is gl4 required, but the properties of gl5 seems appealing. Motul motylgear has both, but from what I’m reading it’s mainly in regards to pressure and speed, not so much safeness on certain metals. And if it’s yellow metal safe it typically has a certain label to let you know. Am I...

What do you think of the new 0w-40 mobil 1 European car formula variation. I got a 2zz too, was figuring out what oil to run been seeing a few of your posts.

01 V70 T5 5 speed manual. I’m having a issue where on a certain specific turn, seriously haven’t had this happen on any other turn. 25mph rev matching into 2nd gear, slow to 15mph right hand 90 degree turn, Turning from one street to the next, car pops out of gear when I turn to the right...

I went to take a picture but the cam moved it’s similarly dirty to the picture I posted but not as bad. So were the oil direct contacted at that specific location seemed to clean it a bit, but the other areas still needs circulation of that oil.

OCI HPL EC HDMO HPL PCMO What are these terms? I noticed sludge under valve cover. Upon adding new Mobil 1 0w-40 FS euro, it seems a decent bit of it got removed, picture below is prior old oil. But in case that 0w-40 fs doesn’t do the job good enough. What are the recommendations, going...

The car would only be driven in spring/summer, and then stored away for months in winter. Would’ve been better to change the oil right after it’s back up and running, but it seems that wasn’t done.

Well I guess I mixed up the two terms. But I’m just glad the oil is doing its job as I heard it’s good for cleaning an engine up. And just from pouring it on what the picture showed cleaned it up. Then next step was these guys (https://www.hploil.com/product-page/5w40-synthetic-motor-oil-quart)...

Those little black marks vanished when I poured the oil in.

What would you call it? The visual appearance seemed like what people he referred as varnish

Honestly from what I can tell all the major stuff has been taken care of. PCV, Timing, clutch, flywheel, rear main seal. There isn’t a spec of rust on the car it’s mint underneath. The only issue I have so far is a vvt solonoid that I believe was from the car sitting over the winter, and after...

Yeah I just filled it up and the varnish that was on top of the cams completely vanished when I poured the new oil. I’m gonna enjoy driving it and let it circulate, the new cap I’ll use that later in the week. And refill new oil again with new filter.

I got the correct oil filter tool coming in, but the universal stuff didn’t seem to get the oil filter out. I read that it’s okay to use the old oil filter for a little, but the question I have is it’s 10w-30 castrol semi that was in the car before. Now it’s going to be 0w-40 Mobil 1 fs...

He doesn’t drive the car in winter. Also found out it was 10w-30 not 40w.

The only issue I have is the VVT Solonoid pooped. Assuming from it sitting over the winter some oil thickened in there. He never really got on the car much but when I did that code came up. So I want to get better oil in there and then change it out.

200k miles, but pcv, timing, rear main seal, clutch, flywheel etc. has been done in recent time. I believe timing was done at 193k. It was my buddies car Volvo master mechanic.

Picked up A V70 T5, and I want to change out the oil for something else. Previous owner used Castrol High miles, semi synthetic 10w-30. Change every 5k miles. But I was reading, and I’ll paraphrase since I can’t seem to find the post again. That apparently in Volvos, high mileage oil additives...
