    Help Mobil 1 mixing ?

    What about mixing 3 quarts of M1 0w-20 with 2 quarts of M1 15w-50? Using the viscocity calculator yields: Viscocity @ 40c of 65.9 Viscocity @ 100c of 11.2 This would be a fairly heavy 30w.

    2003 Mazdaspeed Protege: German Castrol UOA

    I know I could have left the oil in longer, but I wanted to see what was going on with the engine and I couldn't wait anymore. It was hard enough to wait 3,000 miles. I will extend my next OCI and do another analysis.

    2003 Mazdaspeed Protege: German Castrol UOA

    Quattro Pete, the factory-recommended OCI for severe driving conditions is 3,000 miles. For normal driving conditions it is 5,000 miles. I don't want to go past 5,000 miles because of warranty issues. Maybe I will do a run of 4,500 to 5,000 miles.

    German Castrol -- Uh Oh, Word's Out...

    ekpolk, I noticed the same thing with the GC. That there are bottles of the "Made in USA" 0w-30 mixed in with the GC. I almost bought a quart of the "Made in USA" by mistake. In the Autozone closest to me all of the Castrol 0w-30 bottles have dust, which is good for me . As for your question...

    Nice Japanese Racing Video

    Here is a link to my favorite Best Motoring video. The video shows an R34 Skyline vs. RX-7 vs. S15 Silvia vs. Supra. Right Click then Save Target As Download is 32.8 MB and a little slow but worth it.

    High Output 4cyl Engines

    Buster, there are several high output 4 cylinder cars out right now. Don’t forget that the Subaru WRX and the Dodge Neon SRT-4 are both around the same price as the RSX Type-S. Both of these cars also get close to 30 mpg.
