Ohhh, good catch, I missed that indeed! You can actually fit quite a lot in them, the hatch is big! I have a bit of a sweet spot for American cars, they offer a lot of bang for the buck. The recent Mustangs with a big supercharger bolted to them, is another itch I hope to scratch at some point.

Thanks all, I went for Total Quartz 9000 Energy 5w40. It was cheap and easy to find, with both the MB 229.5 and Porsche A40 specification. Another oil that seemed interesting, was the Aral High Tronic 5w40 (https://oeldepot24.de/Aral-High-Tronic-SAE-5W-40-20-Liter), which meets Porsche A40, BM...

Thanks for the explanation! They get/got sold as a bare block as well. If I remember correctly, I have the tall deck version. The original builder went bankrupt, but I also doubt they are well versed in all the specifics on oil. Luckily, everyone here seems to roughly agree on the same kind of...

Car was imported with a broken engine (relatively common on the ls7, they have a few known issues). The original owner wanted the piece of mind of an LSX and had vague plans to add boost in the future. It is not the way I would have gone if I was in his place, but the car was priced well, had...

I was just looking into the Mercedes standards, as I noticed that Mobil 1 oil didn't have 229.5, but it did have 229.51 and 229.52. I've been seeing 229.5 recommended here quite a few times. Upon looking a bit closer, I noticed that the Mobil 1 oil's price/liter was quoted wrong, I was already...

5W30, GM4718M, but as mentioned by ls1make, it's not the stock engine (iron vs alu block, higher capacity, more power, different internals/heads/valves, pretty much everything, although the architecture is still the same.) I actually haven't made any proper pictures of the car yet, but here's...

Based on some earlier research, they seem to recommend 15w50 for hard track use. I remember going to 50 (or even 60) for my old Subaru as well. I also vaguely remember that the bigger the difference between the cold and hot viscosity, the more "stuff" they have to do to make it work, which has...

Hi all, A while back, I bought a 2008 Corvette Z06. The car has an 7.2L LSX engine (iron block, instead of the original 7.0 aluminium LS7) and makes close to 600 hp (unsure if that is at the wheels or the engine, but I suspect at the engine). This is a dry sump (original GM system) engine as...
