Thanks for the warm Texan Welcome! Funny you mention Benbrook, I'm actually clerking at a clinic there right now for the next few weeks. $25 for 5 quarts of M1 0W40? They are giving it away!

Thanks to you three for your replies. I ask because on my previous car, a BMW 1999 e46, I had to go from the GC 0W30 in the winter to 5W40 Motul in the summer time, while the BMW 1995 e38 would alternate between the Castrol 5W50 in the winter to Motul's 15W50. Have a great day!

Hi, It's been a few years since I last visited the site and posted. I recently picked up a MB C350 4Matic 2013 in Quebec. Service was done at the time of purchase. I now moved to Fort Worth, TX to finish my medical studies. Question is this: do I have to adjust or replace engine, transmission...

Being a fellow BMW driver (e38 and e46), I find that it is my duty to point you in the direction of Motul oils. Doing the regular filter change every 5000km, and topping up the oil, let me tell you that the Motul stays perfectly clear up to 15,000km. I'm sure it'll go past 15,000 km, but given...

Hi, It's that time again where I have to flush out my coolant, and decided to go the Motul route. Now all I know about the OEM BMW fluid is that it is Phosphate free and it's blue-ish in colour. Here's my dilema: Motul Inugel Expert Ultra (Blue) is BMW N600 69.0 approved and is Phosphate...

I must be missing something because I still don't see why ATF needs to be mixed with Xylene when added to gasoline. Is Xylene so abbrasive that ATF is used as a cylinder lubricant?

I was reading on another forum about the use of Xylene as an octane booster. What I found peculiar was the mention of adding 1 ounce of Tranny fluid per Gallon of Xylene/Gas mixture because Xylene is 'too dry.' I asked why the use of Tranny fluid, and which compound in the fluid is the...

as pscholte would say: "It is the Green Elixir of Life, Fame, Health, etc.. " I tend to agree.

I'm glad that some of my sanity is returning. Firstly, I thought Motul's 0W20 was A3 rated. Montreal winters get very cold. -35C is not unheard of, it's actually quite comon. Most of my driving is either home to university where the car is parked outside, clubbing where the car is once again...

Guys, I think I've hit rock bottom, and need (as pscholte so eloquently said) "good counselling." Little bio on the car in question, it's a 1999 BMW 328i. So that makes it an I6. Manufacturer requires A3 rated oil. Thus far I've been using the elixir of life during the winter time (GC) and...

I don't get it because i've noticed an increase in gas mileage with GC. However, I am considering Motul's 0W20 for this winter. (hopefully it'll pass, and i'll stick with GC).

Titanium: Thank you for your feedback. I personally was leaning towards 5.1, but am not knowledgeable enough with respects to brake fluids to pick one over the other (with total confidence). And I agree, Motul products are very expensive. 5.1 is roughly $14/L (CDN), and their 5W40 (which I am...

Hey guys, I noticed that my current brake fluid (BMW DOT4) is pitch black after only one year of use. I was discussing with some friends about sticking to OEM or looking at other options and was recommended Motul. However it's a 50/50 split between RBF600 and 5.1 Do I track my car? No, but I...

Checked the SC oil bottle from Toyota. no info on it at all. Go figure. And yes the SC is roots.

Outrun: Those Organic I chair,boat,twistboat conformations are a PITA. Hopefully next semester when I take Quantum Theory i'll be able to answer this photon question.

Thanks for the reply guys. I did search for the specs of MR2 supercharger oil but without any success. That means that either the info isn't posted online or (more likely) I can't search the internet for my life. And the MR2 people (forums) don't seem to know what i'm talking about.

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while, so forgive my absenteeism due to school. I have a quick question with respects to a Toyota MR2 - MK1 - 4AGZE. My friend is up for an oil change, since from what I understood, the same oil has been in the SC for the past 15 years. Upon contacting toyota it...

cangreylegend. I am running a 65%-35% mix not 50%-50%. And no block heater The one benefit of this cold weather is that it forces me to maintain my cars in top shape.

Dr. T. I am on the water front, where on average our temperatures are 5-10C colder than at Dorval airport (the closest weather network station).

Patman, We are a little group in Mtl who are purchasing Red Line at $10/qt via the Red Line distributor in TO. Can't say more because I would only be misleading you as i have no info. I'll ask my guys, next time we GB I'll let you know if you want in on it.
