Hey guys, Got a 2017 Mercedes C43, factory fill is M1 0w40 which is what I've been running in it. I feel based on the oil temps the oil is sheering down to a 30 weight with the insane heat this car produces. This car is stage 2 tuned (with down pipes). Factory numbers are 362 hp / 384 ftlb...

Hey guys, I haven't posted here in a while but I have been mostly a Honda/Acura family so very easy on the maintenance. Hoarding on Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra sales and using the same oil and grade for all my vehicles. This is the first German automobile in the family and its brand new so I...

I just wanted to post that I had purchased my new daily (the TL will be a weekend/summer vehicle). Dumped the ATF that was in there, it was turning brown (probably Z1). Changed the fluid to Maxlife ATF I had kicking around drove for a week and half. Shifts improved but not all that great. So...

So my 04 TSX which I bought as a winter beater, isn't being a nice winter beater especially with the nasty cold spell we've been having this year. Driver side vents (including the footwell) are blowing outside air in, passenger side vents are blowing nice hot air. I have done the following...

Hey guys So since I park my TL for the winter I decided to swap batteries between my winter beater and the TL throughout winter before I got my ctek charger. I have left the battery from the winter beater in the TL as it was newer however I am finding I have to clean the terminal multiple...

I saw this PDF posted on a Acura forum and it was a good read. Also shows the testing involved in certification for HTO-06. http://www.infineum.com/sitecollectiondocuments/notebooks/gf5/J%20Jetter%20Honda%20042109.pdf Enjoy

Buddy has a 2000 VW Beetle (1.8T). What type of coolant does this vehicle use? Can I top off with Honda type II?

So I know Zerex Asian is what most people recommend and Napa here in Canada has it for 16 bucks for the 50/50. I saw they also had the Valvoline Maxlife for 20 bucks but its concentrate (so I'm paying for coolant not 50% water :P). The Max as 200K (km's) on it I will be filling it with water...

Found this at our local Canadian Tire. Of course like all other FRAM products it is overpriced. I've never seen it before. Discuss....

Both my Acura's (see signatures) are hitting 5 yrs of service (still drive like it drove off the lot yesterday!) and they have Honda Type 2 filled. The TL has 72K (KM's) and the RDX has 95K (KM's). I have a power steering hose recall on the TL so I asked Acura how much a coolant change would...

Yes this oil is not available for you guys down south but in my research here it is similar to the 7500 you guys have? How is this oil? It's on sale here for 22 bucks down from 29 and some change, I want to use it in my Maxima and keep my PP stash for the Acura's. What do you think spec wise...

Hey Guys Wondering if any of you with VQ30DE motor (2001 Maxima and below) have used any over size filters. Reason why I am interested in over size filter is due to the small oil sump. It takes 4QT's (4.25 L) and I'd like to be able to use a full 4.73L jug of PP on an oci. For those that say...

I'm a PP user and have been looking at alternatives for it that meet the HTO-06 requirement I have for one of my vehicles. How does the PC Supreme Synthetic compare to PP? PP spec: http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GPCDOC_X_cbe_24855_key_140003633138_201008270049.pdf PC Spec...

Hey guys I have a small pin hole size leak at the brim of the rim. The rim is not damaged but I've been having a slow leak, I have to refill weekly. Then all of a sudden one day found it flat. Filled it up drove around for a day and at the end of the day park the car walk away and I can hear a...

Hey Guys I was thinking a coolant flush is in order but I'll see what you guys think. The car warms up fine the gauge goes the appropriate location and last time I checked with my obd2 dongle it was operating at the correct temps. BUT it takes forever to heat up the cabin, the air that comes...

Hey Guys So I picked up a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 20th Anniversary as my winter beater. Did the winter maintenance on it it yesterday (oil change...the thing has a small oil sump!) and transmission fluid. The tranny fluid was quite dark blackish red. It shifts perfectly fine thoe. So I drained it...

Anyone use this oil before? These guys became our customer here and was doing some research on the company and found out they make motor oil! Specs: http://www.puregreenoil.com/pdf/PureGreen%20Supreme%20Motor%20Oil%20(PDS).pdf

So what do people think of this filter in comparison to Fram Extra guard or Beck/Arnley? This is for my TL and RDX. The Hastings seems to be priced in between Fram andd Beck, Fram on the higher side, Beck on the lower side. Tried googling and searching the forum here could not find any results.

So basic question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer already but want to get peoples opinion. 2007 Acura TL Type S 6 spd MT (been looking for this car for a long time! soo [censored] rare here). I haven't taken posession of the vehicle yet so haven't read the manual but I did look at the motor...

Hey Guys, I picked up 2 4.73L jugs of PP 10w30 on sale couple months back, its time for an oil change on the Prelude. I was wondering if PP 10w30 will do fine for the remainder of the winter. I'm in Toronto, the car is garaged at night, it sees ~50KM RUN on the weekdays, weekend not as much...
