Friend of mine has got a 2011 Cayenne local stealer quoted $400 CDN for oil change. The sump and filter hold about 7 litres at such price he's debating doing his own changes at least between the prescribed (1year 20,000km)intervals but he's wonderning if there is any funky procedures involved...

Hello, This my have been asked before but to the best of my ability I could not find the answer here. So maybe some of our canadian Bitogers would know who makes the Can Tire brand Motomaster Formula 1 5W-50 synthetisc? I checked MSDS and it is SHELL but I know Shell does not offer 5W-50 oils...

Quick question (Idid use the search not much info on turbos) My boss drives 335IX and wants to do his own Oil changes once the car is out of warranty Would GC be good enough for 2007 335 IX or should he stick with dealer's BMW-Castrol??. Owners manual does not specify much beyond 5W-40 or 5W-30...

I just picked up a 5 Litre jug of Total Quartz INEO MC3 5W30 the specs are nice ACEA C3, A3/B3, VW 502.00/505.00/505.01 MB- 229.31/229.51 BMW LL -04 SM/CF. Since new GF-4 already have low levels of phosphorus/sulphur will this not be too thin in that department. I wanted to used it in my 2002...

I just wonder if Pennzoil's Multi-Vehicle ATF would be a good choice for Acura 5sp AT or Nissan auto tranny I can get it at a closeout for $3.50 a bottle. Never seen it mentioned here the search feature also returned almost nothing, So if someone here has used that ATF please share your opinion

Hey all, I just wonder how Texaco Ursa 15W-40 and 10W-30 available at Canadian Tire (due to some price hike omission maybe) stak up against oils like the Esso's XD-3 15W-40 or Rotella in a Nissan engine that allows 10W-40 oils. Bought 2 gal of Texaco Ursa 10W-30 HDEO (CI-4+/SL)and the specs are...

Hello, I do not want to brag but I got some MaxLife oils really cheap at a closeout sale here Synth. for $14.97 for 4.4Litre jug and SynthBlend for $9.97 for jug. Now looking at the Noack numbers I see that the SynBlend has a Noack of less than 15 but the Synthetic 10W-30 Noack is 8!! this is...

Yes I know I may be nuts but since the Lubriplate No.105 Motor Assembly grease is used for its anti-wear anti-seize properties during overhauls,builds etc. then a quarter size dab mixed into some motor oil would not hurt. Or would it? I heard that some people in hot rod community use RedLine or...

I just scored 3.78L of valvoline AllClimate 10W-30 'SL' for $0.01 yes one cent!! Went to get some cheap Valvoline MaxLife Full Syn for $14.97 and noticed a lonely jug; scanned it and $0.01 came out needless to say I grabbed it. Now I wonder if it is still OK or should I use it toflush the engine...

My 75,000mi Acura CL-S has sprung a small leak (couple of drops visible where trans meets the engine) I checked the PCV valve and it seems stuck, could it be that pressure building up inside crank case reaches a level where it pushes oil past the rear main? And if so would new PCV stop the...

Ok I know that Manual recommends 5W-30 but since in some places like Australia people are using thick oils in Honda products then why not try for hot summer in southern Canada, here we often encounter 30 C If not the 5W-50 then I will for sure try ELF 5W-40 visc 14.1 cSt @100C. What do you all...

Just scored 5Litres of Total Energy 9000 5W-40 according to the MSDS this is a group III oil but some european engine manufacturers recommend 20,000 or even longer oci's. I scored this elixir for $35 (yep 35 ) it complies with VW502.00/505.00 BMW-LL-98 MB 229.3 GM-LL-B025 ACEA: A3/B4 API: SL/CF...

Just want to share a few findings with regards to AmsOil Universal in Honda/Acura 5sp AT. First of all I had acquired the car with 96,000km on the clock (~60,000mi) right away I drained the ATF and refilled with Z-1 then few days after I had drained it again. After this I did not notice any...

I just bought a bottle of NuFinish having heard how long it lasts and was wondering whether it would be possible to apply say Maguiar's gold Class or NanoWax over it for better shine?. I also have Meguiar's No.2 and No.9 polishes I wanted to use those to get rid/minimize spyder webbing then...

Just scored 4 jugs of the said oil for yes $ 6 CDN @ Walmart (Winston Churchill & Argentia Mississauga) in 10W-30 flavour yesterday. I just wonder is this stuff any good? I know it likely is half decent but I never heard anything about it here- be it good, bad or ugly. In other places like CT...
