With our new 2t oils I believe a 3% mix will be just fine.

No. Most hydraulic fluids are designed to NOT mix with water.

One that is short, has thick copper wires inside and good quality connectors. Look for low AWG rating... Try to avoid the cheapest brands - I suspect that they sometimes lie about AWG rating and use crap connectors

Here's some other calcium sulfonate greases that is worth considering. TOTAL ceran series BP energrease MP-MG 2 Cat desert gold with moly , maybe cat have more CS grease products.? Amsoil (I can't remember the product name) An alternative to calcium sulfonate could be regular calcium soap...

If it was my car I would go with what well known and reputable brands (Mobil, shell, total, castrol, ect) recommends for that engine and at the same time comply with Hondas recommendations regarding acea / API. I would probably lean towards castrol 0w30 or 5w30 and then 12-15K depending on how...

Hi there. I am doing a minor overhaul of a 300k km VW engine due to high oil consumption and oil leaks at the cyl. head. I wanted to replace the valve stem seals, cam shaft seals and the head gasket. Since the cyl head had to come off anyway, I decided to replace the piston rings also. After...

Great. Now I have to force desktop version to get the latest posts! :-( And the new desktop version looks worse than the old one..

How fast does the car loose its coolant? My car also had a leak - turned out it was an old stiff o-ring at thermostat housing. I lost about one liter evey month in the wintertime. Look for pink residue at all cooling system connections. If your coolant drips onto the engine block or...

Er det ikke for dyrt at sende olieprøver til USA?? Ikke ret meget jern.. Det er måske alusil cylindre?

Stop blaming the winter blend. The winter blend only contains 2-3 percent less energy! Blame the cold starts and the increased air drag!

Oh yeah.. Then all engines with multiple sparkplugs per cylinder would grenade. Nearly all petrol aircraft engines have two sparkplugs per cylinder....

How hot does the oil get..? It might help to install a really fine offline/bypass filter that can deal with particles down to 2-3 μ and acid as well. In northern europe filters from CC Jensen are very popular in the offshore and wind power industry...

Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol doesent matter. What matters is the additives. Some addpacs react with some others.. That's why sludge can occur when mixing two different coolants - they might both be ethylene glycol but still develop sludge because of incompatible additive packs. I once...

Do the new VAG engines have larger bearing surfaces compared to older engines?

I think XHP222 is a good multi-purpose grease, but on the other hand nothing special. I have used it a lot for cranes - slew bearings, wire rope sheaves, pins. Personally I think the smell of this product is very annoying, a really strong crude-oil-like smell. Don't pay too much if you have not...

Most PS systems will not go past 40deg.C above ambient. under normal operating conditions. But if you torture the system(no airflow + turning the wheel from side to side for several minutes, or letting the pump work up against the relief valve) the temp will rise significantly. My personal...

just put in a 8.8 bolt!

Two days ago I had to put on a new CV boot, cleaning and inspecting the joint like always. everything looked all right. The only grease I had in stock was TOTAL Multis MS2. I notisted that it had funny odor, like coconut - I did not taste it even though it was tempting . Have you guys...
