Have several gallons of fuel I've stored about six months with some Stabil in it for my generator. Was thinking of using it up in the Mazda 2.5 turbo (which allows 87), is this a bad idea?

Please contact me at flypenfly aaaaat gmail. I am not getting notifications for some reason. I have six bottles of Lifeguard 8 fluid from ZF. Lots of fitment into their ZF8 transmissions and such. TE-ML 11 $80 shipped in the US. Check fitment: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/lif...r-s67109031201

Is it still the prevailing thought that intake carbon buildup comes a lot from NOACK properties of an oil? About to get my intake valves walnut blasted on my Macan S (128k mi, V6 twin turbo), I mostly use M1 0w40 FS. Will probably just stick with that and 5k intervals (filter 10k). But I'm...

Pretty good deal I think https://www.amazon.com/Pennzoil-550040856-6PK-Ultra-Platinum-Synthetic/dp/B00JMCCGDQ I've thought about using the 0w40 version for my Porsches but doesn't have A40.

https://mazdashopusa.com/products/mazda-full-synthetic-engine-oil-5w-30 Any idea who makes this oil? Just had some service done at the dealer for my CX-50 Meridian Turbo with a coupon and was curious about the oil, they filled with Mazda 5w30 Full Synthetic which I assume is this one.

Dealer maintained at OEM intervals. Car runs pretty smooth but there is a very subtle dribble at idle that is probably due to never having the intake valves cleaned. Did some spark plugs and I was curious so took a video with a boroscope on two of them. Curiously, I think you can kind of see a...

People over on the Macan forums have been using Motul DCTF in their very problematic transfer cases for a few years with success. I’m planning to do a fluid change on my TC as well and using the Motul fluid. Is there a reason to only use the regular DCTF and not the high torque DCTF? I believe...

Should I just not overthink it and use M1 0w40 FS Euro? There are some interesting oils on the A40 list so I was wondering if I should maybe try the Motul X-Cess Gen2 5W-40 but if it's only a dumb waste of money, I'd rather use the money for tires and brakes. I was going to do oil changes at...

Car is rated for 5w30. Which would be the most appropriate: Castrol Edge Euro 5W-30 A3/B4 European Advanced Castrol Edge Extended Performance 5W-30 Advanced Castrol Edge 5W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil I believe the official intervals are 10k, will be doing middle changes myself of just...

Rear wheel drive automatic, I plan to change the fluid out while I’m doing a ATF fluid change. It’s at 60k miles and sees track use. Little confused how much and what type of fluid. I read not to mix GL4 and GL5 fluid, not sure which the OEM fluid is but it sure costs a lot. I was thinking...

I have a N26/20 228i that I've tracked and will be tracking every 45 days or so. I have in stock Mobil 1 FS 0w40 Euro and some Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX 0w30 (I was going to use this in my 2020 Porsche Cayenne). Was thinking I was just going to use good old trusty M1 0w40 FS but it is an older...

Looks like this stuff is available on Amazon now. I recall from a few months ago this was considered the best of the best exceeding even RedLine in boutique oils. If I were to for some crazy reason not use Castrol 0w40 in my Audi, I wonder if I should go for the Low Ash or regular? This is a DI...

Any more information about this oil? Seems like we can order it special order on Walmart.com for free pickup and it's only a couple bucks more than the ubiquitous Castrol 0w40. Curious if there's a VOA of this specific oil, there's plenty for the Regular Platinum 0w40 but not for the PP 0w40...

From the B8 A4 Audi forums: Quote Blew RMS, upper timing cover gasket, VC gasket and catch can gasket on VC. Emptied my catch can yesterday, but seems like there was some water that froze in the line last night. Going back to the factory PCV setup. Happy Monday! These things have almost no...

This man is rebuilding his 2.0T EA888 out of his 2014 Audi A4. These engines starting from 2009 have had some severe issues with oil consumptions requiring a Stage 1 (PCV + software) or Stage 2 (replace cylinder rings with updated design) intervention from Audi depending on the rate of burn and...

Looking for a 40w range fully synthetic high mileage oil. Does anyone else make a full synthetic high mileage oil like M1 10w40? I can't seem to find any that are full synthetic. Nothing against it but just wondering if there are other oils I should look at as well. This is for the problematic...

Are they both the same thing? Different kinds of esters? I've read that AT-205 is a single treatment whereas Oil Saver needs to be run with every change?

Looking to buy two AGM batteries in group 49 sizes for my two Mercs. Comparing them, the specs seem identical. I believe Odyssey might use some kind of purer lead? Not sure it matters. Anyway the price difference is $100 per battery, between the brands. Of course reliability matters more to me.

I have a couple bottles of Redline 75w90 NS which is the type with no friction modifier. I have emailed Redline and they said it's totally fine to use in open differentials like in my Z4 and Grand Vitara RWD. They said if I so wish, I can add some Friction Modifier so I bought some Lubegard in...

Clearer Link Currently using Bosch Premium. Oil is Castrol Magnatec 5w30 on 3-4k intervals because the car is going to be autocross and tracked every other month. I'm thinking it's probably better to use a decent filter that's changed often than a great filter changed every other interval?
