    Esso LT-71141

    The transmission in my Audi uses G 052 162 A2 which is Esso LT-71141. This oil is impossible to find except from the dealer. Are there any other ATF out there that I can use as replacement without harming the transmission?

    Looking for an oil recommendation

    10W-30 isn't thicker than 5W-30 at operating temperature. It's only thicker when you start your vehicle and you don't want that?! If you can find Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40, it's more or less equal to T&SUV.

    My car is going to sit 6 weeks.

    I thought I just drive the car good and warm and then put it in the garage. I'll clean it inside and out, fill the tank and put a little extra in the tires. More I need to do before shutting it down??

    Mixing G12(+) and BASF G30

    Had to refill antifreeze tonight but Audi/VW/Skoda/SEAT dealer had closed for the day. My car used G12+ fluid before but is now mixed with 50% BASF G30 (50/50 G30/water). No problem whatsoever and a bonus was that G30 costs 1/3 of the VW G12+.

    Changed oil in an old B & G 3.5 hp lawn mover engine.

    Oil had been in the engine 10 years. Never changed, only topped off (SAE 30). Machine is used 15 hours a year. Oil was like syrup even after a 10 minutes warm up period. Now the B & G enjoys new synthetic oil, a new spark plug and a clean air filter. Maybe it will last 10 more years
