Came back to NZ due to work, and took coworker to local Transport and Technology museum (MOTAT)today. Fortunately they had Military area open, that was closed during my last visit. So, we both got a chance to ride and old APC on a hilly dirt track (those APCs still used till today, starting from...

Oil that came in with car when we got it. Blackstone put the wrong engine on pdf. It's 4.8L V8. This car made a round-trip from Louisville,KY to Toronto Canada,and to Chicago. Oil filter that was installed was Hengst. It now has Mag 1 5w-40 Euro in it+2 cans of older stock LM MoS2,will keep it...

UOA from truck that was sitting most year in garage collecting dust, and used only for hauling things. I used kendall oil which I happened to have at remote location since I accidentally grabbed jug with used G-oil, not new. I think I've used 3qt of 10w-40 and 2qt 10w-30 + can of LM MoS2. Air...

Helped to change oil on my friends 07 BMW 335i Twin Turbo today. Finally talked him into using m1 0w-40 instead of m1 5w-30.(it came out thinner than I would like it and black, much more black than unknown oil that came out from 550i in my sig after more than 14k miles on it). He brought this...

Did and oil Change on 550i, here if Hengst filter that was in the car when we bought it. I did not keep track of exact miles, but per OLM it was there for 14200 miles same as oil. Pics:

Got it for my bimmer in sig. Pretty well made for it's price.($5.34 from amazon vs Mann for $16.90) Honestly I can't spot a seam. It has 60 pleats. Anyway here is the filter:

I'm not a snake expert and honestly it is my first encounter with a snake in a wild in KY. I just bought a house in the Louisville suburbs. It has Koi fish pond (neglected, I just started taking care of it, bought new pump, aerators, assembled big barrel filter, changed most water out). Can you...

Do you guys have any first hand experience? I just stopped by at some local dealer and checked those out. Never seen or used those. Some twin engines for $15k are just WOW! They look very well built, thick steel and stainless steal parts. Looks much better than any of the offers in Lowes or...

ATP turbo store has injectors for Abarth/500T(error) for under $400. They claim that it is 100% drop in without any changing to ECU. We all know e85 benefits turbo. I'm thinking about those, have couple gas stations that sell e85 near me for about $1 per gallon lower than 93,but price is not the...

I'm sitting at local Fiat dealer, and holding a broshure with green f1 car on it. It says Mach2 synthetic oil, bla bla bla million miles warranty. I will upload pic of it later. Google search let me to subaru forums, and none 100% what this oil really is. The rumor is that it is rebranded...

Hi guys. Hopefully soon I will receive keys from my first house. I will need to buy a lawn moving tractor. I was thinking of getting Huasqana with 22 hp engine with spin on filter. The problem is, there is about 1.3acres of land, most of which is very step hill. About 40 degrees by the look. Is...

After seeing 2 members reported that their fiats 500 caught fire (while driving they died, and caught electrical fire after sitting 5-10 min off), I thought that it would be a good idea to have one in my Fiat and keep big one at home in garage. I hope turbo models are less affected, so far 2 out...

Got 3 day off in a row, so had a chance to go to local museums. First one I went was Auckland Memorial museum, next day I went to Museum of Transport and Technology(MOTAT). If you will ever be in New Zealand those are absolutely must see for BITOGer. Lots of vintage machines, engines, pumps...

Couple day ago I ordered 9 cans of LM Ceratec, while looking in up on ebay, I saw someone selling 12 older looking(white) cans of LM MoS2, with $70 buy now, or make an offer. I made an offer=$40. Was not expecting that seller will accept it. Well, just paid, and already receved mail that order...

Hi guys, here is factory fill from my turbo Fiat. It supposed to be PU 5w40. Sample taken at 3150 miles. 90% on miles are hard city miles in delivery pattern. Car sees WOT almost every day. There are couple guys that have Fiats here and were wondering about long OCIs and Factory fill. So here is...

We all seen lots of Russian dashcam videos with horrible crashes and so on. Here is one for a change

Was messing with the car today. Stuff that is not pictured: red floor mats, short red antenna instead of longer black one. Third brake intelligent light flasher. Pictured: red rubberized rim guards. I'm afraid of curb rush when my fiance starts driving it, plus in looks nice. I added left overs...

I ordered 4 different filters for my little red. Today I received 3 from amazon and 1 more Wix is coming from rockauto. MAHLE was the most expensive. funny part was when I opened FRAM box--there was Mahle filter, as pictured on amazon. First I thought they put the wrong picture, but as you can...

Changed factory oil and filter today @3150 miles (90% city delivery runs(temp extra job to pay for extra toys for cars)). Older M1 0w-40 (maybe back in time when in was group 4) went in along with Mopar oil filter. Filter is kinda pita to get to, for that reason could not use my torque wrench...

they may put them in Jeeps and 500s of course. Would be nice to zip around in little tractor http://www.fiat500usa.com/2011/04/fiat-multijet-ii-coming-to-us.html I wonder why there are no diesel minivans in US, I've seen so many in Europe-those would make ultimate family trip car. P.S. just...
