Hello, After being inspired by HTSS_TR's post about brake bleeding using Mityvac MV7201 and vacuum bleeding I've decided to give a try and post my feedback. Before starting to talk about Mityvac MV7201 and vacuum bleeding I would like to talk about Mityvac MV6840 and pressure bleeding. In 2015...

Hello zveroboy, Originally Posted By: zveroboy Have you seen Motorex in Switzerland? Yep, there is plenty of Motorex oil in Switzerland In supermarkets, garages, etc. However, the price is expensive even here. P.S. I found it in local supermarket. The price is 25 USD per liter...

The oil looks interesting. It is the first time I see MB 229.51 and Porsche A40 combined.

Regarding the direct injection petrol engines. In fact, in Europe Nissan recommends to use A3/B4 for it's 1.2 DIG-T engine which is used in Qashqai and Pulsar.

chrisri, Originally Posted By: chrisri Mind that in EU Cx oils get most of the "love", and oils have to pass the same or even more stricter tests. If you haven't depleted TBN then there is zero benefits with using A3. A year ago I asked Liqui Moly tech support if I should switch to C3 or...

merconvvv, In theory yes. In practice the A3/B3 and A3/B4 oils will also carry some other specs (for example, A40, MB 229.5) which are hard to beat in terms of wear protection. You need to remember that ACEA specs are not enforced, meaning that ACEA does not issue control checks on sold...

Hello merconvvv, Originally Posted By: merconvvv What would be the wear protection out of 10 be for A40. Can we compare it directly to ht06, dexos, gm 4718m a3b3 numbers ? You can compare most of these specs at https://online.lubrizol.com/relperftool/pc.html

Why do you want to run full saps when mid saps is required? I presume you want to get better engine wear protection, right? In this case, if your car does not consume oil much I would run full saps (229.5, A40). The moment it starts to consume any significant oil I would switch to 229.51, C30...

Finn, Here is a thread which may be helpful for Nissan MRDE engine: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthr...20D#Post3791819

Hello dexos, Unfortunately, I was not able to order SynPower from my local supplier because they had none in stock. Instead, I had to order Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 and I am waiting for the oil to arrive. It has the following specs: (taken from...

I've decided to go with the option #1.

bobbydavro, Originally Posted By: bobbydavro BMW LL04 and LL01 are cuurently the most demanding specs in the industry. Is this is the latest revision of the specs? Or it does not have any revision? On this forum there is a mantra about MB 229.5, so I am surprised that LL01 (which is quite old)...
