The officially suggested oil for the Fiat 1.4L T-Jet 120PS LPG engine is the Selenia MULTIPOWER GAS 5W-40. Is PETRONAS Syntium 3000 AV 5W-40, which is much cheaper, a suitable replacement?

Here is a question about a Fiat Tipo with the 1.4L T-Jet engine. Using Motul's lube advisor which usually lists separately the sump capacity and the oil filter's capacity, I got it filled with 4.23 quarts of engine oil instead of the 3.6 quarts which is the correct quantity. The car drove...

After changing front pads and compressing the pistons a small amount of brake fluid overflowed and spilled out of the reservoir. Having changed the pads a couple of times (I change them often due to aggressive driving, often on mountain and downhill roads) and remembering that compressing the...

I have recently installed a front strut bar on my Lancer and the positive experience of the difference it made (it increased the level of comfort and the stability of the car), it makes me wonder if any of the other available UltraRacing bars for my car would make any substantial difference, if...

Ravenol VMP SAE 5W-30 Ravenol FDS SAE 5W-30 Ravenol DXG SAE 5W-30 Ravenol RSP Racing Super Performance SAE 5W-30 The car is a last gen Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L. It has a gasoline engine, but I have converted it to LPG. It is often driven at high revs for long distances. When driving at high revs...

I'm looking for a front strut bar for my Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L (last gen). So far the only unhinged one I have found has 2 mounting holes instead of 3 per strut tower, so it does not encircle the whole tower, but covers the half of it. Does it do its job adequately? By the way, I have found...

First time I used a battery powered impact wrench to remove a wheel during a brake job. I just hold my finger on the ON / OFF switch a very short time for each nut, but I didn't realize that the nuts became too lose and when I loosened the last one the wheel sat on a small angle on the hub. I...

Should I use Liqui Moly Brake Anti-Squeal for greasing caliper guiding pins? Clearly its description mentions: On the other hand Liqui Moly has a dedicated Brake Pin grease. If you watch this video by Liqui Moly: you can see that they use the first one on the pads and the second one for...

Do you know any manufacturers (preferably from Europe / EU) that offer adjustable end links with a range of 50 mm - 80 mm, or something close to that? I can find two different ones from Australia: https://avoturbo.com/55-65mm-front-adjustable-sway-bar-end-links/...

If we have an adjustable sway bar, lets say with two different holes at each side, connecting the inner hole at one side and the outer hole at the other side, would have as a result: an intermediate stiffness setting with equal forces at both sides of the car or an uneven force at each side of...

I have bought adjustable end links with an M10 thread. Is the part I have encircled in a red circle on the right in the photo, an adapter for cars that have a thread size different than M10? Is it OK to omit installing it if the OE end links have an M10 thread?

I have upgraded my car's sway bars and the bushings of the rear one, that came along with the bar as a kit, have started to wear prematurely. I have the chance to get custom ones from a machine shop. The shop suggested polyamide as a suitable material. Here are my questions: Is polyamide a...

I have bought adjustable end links and I'm thinking at which position I should rotate the sway bar in its pivot points before connecting it with the end links. Which part of the curved sway bar of the picture above is considered to act as a cantilever and should be placed parallel to the...

For a couple of years now I use RAVENOL Eco Synth ECS SAE 0W-20 for my Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L 2010. Till recently in the description of the product there was a mention to tungsten. Now the word "tungsten" is missing from the oil's description in the German version of Ravenol's website. It is...

What the title says. Is it safe for it to make contact with unpainted plastic parts of the car or rubber parts as the doors' weather stripping or should one take extra care to avoid applying it to these parts?

Are the installation instruction leaflets that come in the box along Koni struts available online? I am specifically interested for the ones that come with: 8741-1593LSport /8741-1593RSport and 8040-1432Sport One of the reasons I want them is to see the tables with the torque specifications...

LTFT is an average of STFT values, right? But how many of the STFT values does it take into account? Is the LTFT calculated by using the last driving cycle's STFTs only? Is it an average of more than one driving cycles or is it an average of all STFT values since the last (for whatever reason)...

Any opinions about these 2 spark plugs: NGK Laser Iridium ILZFR6C-11K Bosch Double-Iridium 0 242 240 715 They are going to get installed in a Mitsubishi Lancer 4A91 engine that has been converted to LPG. The price of the Bosch ones is about $9.30 per plug and NGKs are priced at $15 per plug...

When installing spacers the change of length of an axle is of course more than obvious. I was wondering if there is a formula for calculating the change of the axle length when changing tire size and/or rims that takes into account: the tires width the rims width the rims offset

I have a question about the Lancer's rear strut mounts' top bushing which is shown in the following diagram labeled with the code 41406B (near the top of the assembly). Some brands like KYB offer 2 top bushings of different thickness in their kit (the two bushings at the top of the following...
