Just spotted this on AutoBlog. The soon-to-be-released Pontiac G8 sedan, which is essentially an Aussie Holden Commodore SS-V. I would guess that this car is replacing the Pontiac GTO which was recently discussed in another thread. Anyway, looks like another nice Aussie-sourced import...

Title says it all, the GC FAQ needs to be "stuck" to the top of the "GC & Euro/Import Oils" forum. Here's a link to the GC FAQ: http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/s...ge=0#Post711450 Thanks mods/admins! -Andy

The title says it all, how do we edit our posts? With the old forum software you could edit your post for a specific period of time, handy for fixing typos, etc. Is this possible with the new forum software?

No need to do anything special when you switch over to GC. For an OCI, how many miles were you going on the M1? How many miles per year? What type of driving (city, highway, etc.)?

From a bit of Internet searching, it appears to me that both the Echo and the Yaris share the same 1.5L 4-cylinder engine (2NZ-FE). As far as oil recommendations, I'd suggest sticking to what the manufacturer recommends (likely to be either 5W-30 or 5W-20). Sticking to less than 5,000 mile...

Looks like quite a few certifications...

Probably not...why not use PP 5W-30 in the winter?

I use Blackstone Labs, a BITOG site sponsor: http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ You might also want to consider having Terry Dyson (also a site sponsor) analyze your oil, he really seems to know his stuff based on the many, many positive recommendations/comments from fellow BITOG members...
