Thred BRUMP. Time for a mid cycle OCI. I don't care if I'm using FE or not. - Loads of 0W40 Castrol on deck - Order TPT 0W30 or Motul Specific Option 2 is about $120 a OCI..... Option 1- I did pay for the jugs back then, but it's basically unused *free oil* the way I look at it

😬 Is this a sign of the times......had friend over. S68 engine.... Pan:Drain Plug is Plastic .

I have dedicated snows as such The post was for my *3rd* set of wheels for this car - second different Summer wheel set. There is 1 other AS available this size - Pirelli - OE spec for the Bentley

Subbed to this thread. I have ran DWS eon's ago. Sidewalls seemed on the softer side With climate change and milder winters, I am thinking if:when my other set of 315/30/22 PS4S needs new tires, I may convert this particular set to All Season ---In Which Conti DWS makes in this size and run...

All I run on all the cars is PS4S 9 months out of the year. Was mildly considering doing a set of AllSeasons-non seasons for the *snow shoes* but decided on dedicated snows for those occasional skiing runs

I'm pretty good when it comes down to rubber selection.... New Car - Knowing Winters Have been getting milder and milder each year. For 22" Winter Season, I put on 1400 miles on the new snows. Wifey put most of the mileage so I don't have any real data points. And in my mind, when I was...

:rolleyes: I thought I saw it all on the Costco return line with mattresses, kids car seats, winter jackets being returned in the summer and the usual abuse that comes with it but I guess every store will have that sorta customer... Just noticed there is a FCP LTG thread over here at Bitog. 14...

It's cheaper to design and build - across all platforms. Don't get me started on buttons. That is one the reasons why I we traded in early and scooped up one with real buttons....

I'm all in for a part from FCP failing and taking them up on their lifetime warranty should the need arise. Like an alternator, water pump. radiator, axle, etc. For something like oil......different POV on their lifetime

Still have another 3 yrs in warranty. Always have done mid cycle changes. This thing runs hot

Cafe aside..........N63T3 Engine, for mid-cycle engine oil changes between annual service changes, should I stick with OE LL-01FE O30, Motul Specific LL-01 FE . Costs is about the same on either. I do have *alot* of Castro 0W40 on hand in the garage as well

Sounds like ya'll have talked me out of thinking about -all seasons-.

For those who have run Pilot Sport AS4 compounds, how has you experience been in the literal sense of ~all seasons~ I am considering this for one car who's snow shoes are due and instead of summer/snow compounds, going the All Season route. With all this global warming and all, winters have...

I scrolled through this but I no one seems to have brought it up. Is the transition from summer rubber to dedicated snows or *all seasons* to dedicated snows... I run summers/snows so once the weather forecast dictates it, is when the snows go on. Yes, it's hard to predict when you have a...

Never a huge fan of AntiSieze on exposed applications - in this discussed, the wheel hub . Since I am removing the wheel, I am going to take the opportunity to remove on this *new car* the rotor retaining screw and put some anti-sieze on it Snow shoes going on, summer shoes come back on in...

I'd spring for a Dekka but on my current local, no dealer around. H8 AGM pricing is on par by a quick google search

Got a 4 year 2 month old AGM Autozone Battery on the charger right now. It's been quite some time since I've ever done this. How accurate or not is this Load Testers that Autozone uses - if I recall, those MidTronics were fairly accurate. Man, like everything, :rolleyes: Looks like the same...

I found a -stash- in my garage of Penzoil Euro 5-40 today. Did a quick eyeball. It is LL01 rated. It's probably been sitting in there for at -least- a decade +. I think I probably tried it once or twice, and just went back to GC. Anyhow, just posting here. Who here likes the Euro 5-40 over GC ...

Haven't paid for an oil change in like forever........however, I've got a service date @ the dealer for a paid change. The cost is for my break in change is literally what I would be for just the materials itself . It was a no brainer + documented oil change to boot

Indeed. The verbiage states as such The BMW Longlife-14 FE+ and BMW Longlife-17 FE+ oil specifications are not suitable for the 50i gasoline engine. And in a different part of the the same page When selecting an engine oil, make sure that the engine oil has a suitable viscosity grade. The...
