    Bugatti EB110 Transmission Oil

    Sample is from a Bugatti EB110. It was reported that there was damage to the center differential. The story as to why they thought it was is really vague. I believe this to be Swepco oil. Based on this report, I think whatever problem there is supposed to be is elsewhere. UOA image removed per...

    Need equivalency for ELF HTX766 power steering fl

    I am looking for a power steering fluid which will work in place of ELF HTX766. This is for a Bugatti EB110 and that ELF number came from a shop in Europe. I can't find any information about that number on the internet but I may not be looking in the right place. I would prefer to run Redline if...

    Using HIDs for high beams

    I do most of my 'fun' driving at nights in the mountains where I live. It is rural so I worry about deer and other critters running in the road. Although my highbeams are decent, I would like them as bright as possible. I want to keep the lowbeams stock as I don't want to be that annoying guy...

    Most annoying customer

    OK, for all you professional technicians out there and retired technicians do you have a story about the most annoying customer ever? I recently had a customer who brought in a Willy's Jeep who pointed out every scratch that I "wouldn't be responsible for". If he found any others he would sue...

    ZDDP vs. Detergents in engine oils.

    I just read an article written by Lake Speed Jr. of Joe Gibbs racing in the October-December issue of "Engine Professional" - the Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association magazine. It talks about the fact that both ZDDP and detergents are polar molecules and have an affinity for metal. It states...
