    No 0w- in high performance engines?

    I'm going to try the Amsoil 0w30 for next my oil change and see how the UOA comes back. I have been using Joe Gibbs LS30 and the TBN is at 1.7 after 4600 miles which concerned me. Nothing else was out of spec on the 2 UOA's I have ran on this new engine.

    gmt800 to gmt900 brake swap

    Night and day difference. The stock brakes always felt marginal since the truck was new. The cost ? I did all the work myself and purchased a used Hydroboost unit and brake pedal. I'm going going to say yes it was worth it. I now have confidence in my stopping power. Never had that before. No...

    Volvo XC 60 Oil Recomendation

    I am a new poster here and I recently purchased a 2010 Volvo XC 60 with the 3.0 turbo motor. The owners manual calls for an A3/B4 oil spec. My question is, would a 0W40 with the later A5/B5 spec be acceptable or should I run a 0W30 with the A3/B4 spec? The manual shows a 0w40 is ok to run but I...

    2013 Vw CC

    Be sure to rotate the tires every 5k. The CC's are prone to rear tire wear (cupping). Your Carefree maintenance plan will only pay to rotate the tires every 10k.That is too long to go on this car.
