So I put some Seafoam into the crankcase of my 1.8T, and let it idled for 20min. I then drain out the old brew (4L Maxlife Syn 10w30 + 1.5L Delvec 5w30, 3000mi on it) and put in 3.5L of Delvec 5w30 and 2 bottles of "Platinum HP 5w30" from Long's Drug ($1.40 each!) without changing the filter. I...

I dumped 8 quarts of Pennzoil Platium non-euro 5W-30 into my parent's 1997 MB E320 (older I6 engine, not V6) this afternoon. IIRC the car calls for 5W40 dino. Think I'll be fine?

97' E320, 50 mi in one day once every week. 1 year OCI. I was ganna put in some M1 T&SUV from Walmart and call it good, but now the T&SUV is gone. What would be the next best M1 flavor to use? 0w-40? M1 EP? How about GC?

I am ganna change the coolant in my Audi tomorrow as its the my only time off. I am trying to source some G05 locally beccause I refuse to pay $26 for a gallon of G12 at the dealer. Do you think it's a good idea to run tap water for maybe like a week before I find the 'right' coolant?

It's for an Audi 1.8T so I dont want to chance it with regular dino. Shold I go with Rotella or Syntec? vote now please.

I am about to go visit my folks and some other relatives and it's not worth my time or their time on explaing how they shold run the cleaning/rinse phase and change out the filters and stuff like that. I am thinking about dumping 3 oz of autorx in all their cars and call it good. So the question...

I have this bottle of autorx that was emptied out about a month ago, and it's been sitting in my shade since. For no reason at all I peeked into the bottle today and saw this stuff inside. It feels like fine coffee grind. Is this normal?

Car: Audi 1.8T with big filter. Total oil capacity should be around 5L. 3200 miles ago the oil was changed with M1 0W-40. Only 3L came out. I thought it was weird, because even with oil lvl on the lowest mark, it should still holds about 4L. Then 1 or 2 top offs between the next oil change...

The car has been on M1 diet all it's life(99 A4 1.8T with M1-0w40 right now). I am going to use dino oil for a good rinse. Any suggesetion on what brand/weight of dino oil I should choose for this engine? What's the best dino that's "tough" enough in a hot turbo for at least 2,000 miles? [ May...

the car only gets occasional warm-up during winter months(2 start ups everyday day, move off drive way and back. plus a short drive ~20km round trip every week), then it's put in everyday use for 3 months in the summer time(everyday drive about 100km daily). Car's in sunny so-cal. What's a good...
