    VOLKSWAGEN 502 00 / 504 00 / 508 00 / 511 00 APPROVAL LISTS

    My 2019 Arteon has an under hood sticker specifying both 504 and 0w-30. I use the VW branded oil from FCP Euro which is the same as Mobil 1 ESP, so lifetime oil changes.

    RockAuto oil filters

    Getting parts from the same warehouse is much cheaper than having multiple warehouses, but adding more items from the same one still can increase the shipping cost.

    Car gets driven seldom enough that I only change it once a year. $10 per quart isn't all that bad

    Oil for 73 Nova 350sbc est.3k mile a year

    I just rebuilt the engine on my Capri and am going to use one of the Gibbs Driven oils for street cars. They have a mineral based 10w-40 with zinc that looks good.

    Free lifetime oil change. FCP Euro.

    The other factor is that FCP Euro has free shipping on orders over $49 and Rock Auto seems to charge top price for shipping some items. I agree for some items it wouldn't make sense, but for things like brakes, wipers, spark plugs, oil, air and cabin filters it does.

    Free lifetime oil change. FCP Euro.

    That can happen. While prices generally go up and not down, the converse is also true. If a price goes down, you get credit for the original (higher) price. I had that happen before. I just sent back a pair of front brake rotors. Paid $56 each a few years ago and they are now $63 ea. Cost me...

    Free lifetime oil change. FCP Euro.

    I keep my Volkswagens 12 plus years, so it's a no brainer for me to buy from them. I return everything I can including oil, filters, brakes, spark plugs etc. Just shipped back a pair of brake rotors this week. Got a $110 credit and cost me $26 to ship back.

    Updated List of MTF's (both GL-4 and GL-5)

    You posted a list of GL4 oils and I just reminded you of one readily available that you did not have on there. I specifically wanted a mineral based GL-4 oil and thought others with older vehicles may need that as well. I doubt a 50 year Ford, that sold over a million, uses a unique oil that is...

    I use this one on my 50 year old Capri CRC Sta-Lube API/GL-4 Multi-Purpose Gear Oil 85W90 https://www.amazon.com/CRC-Sta-Lube-SL24239-Multi-Purpose-Hypoid/dp/B000M8RYMC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OZE6C3C5U7JR&keywords=sta+lube+gl-4+85w90+gear+oil+-+1+qt&qid=1689368813&sprefix=sta+luble%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-1

    Wheel center cap removal tool

    Jegs has one flat fee for shipping and handling regardless of what is ordered, if you are under the free shipping threshold. Same as Summit. If you only need one smaller item it does kind of suck.

    How do people get away with tinting a windshield?

    I worked for a major OE glass manufacturer for nearly 20 years and no one in the industry ever referred to it that way. The correct term is Backlite. The company I worked for has been supplying glass for cars for over 100 years. Safelite is one of the very few glass suppliers that does not...

    Anti-Roll Bar P Clamp broken cant get replacement.

    I tried the overseas sources I am familiar with and didn't find it. Sounds like your fabrication project is working.

    Anti-Roll Bar P Clamp broken cant get replacement.

    Fiesta Mk 3 were quite popular in the UK. Lots of aftermarket support there. A couple other good UK sources are Tickover and Burton Power. I have used both for my 70s Capri

    Anti-Roll Bar P Clamp broken cant get replacement.

    I assume this is for a Fiesta. Have you tried Motomobil in Germany? Very reputable vendor for old and obsolete Ford parts. I have bought from them multiple times. If the page comes up in German, you can change to English as well as changing the currency on the upper right. www.motomobil.de
