FMSI fitments D1633 front; D1108 rear. This is for the "performance pack" brake system with 340/310mm rotors. I'm looking for a low dust formulation with at least OEM bite/feel. No track days or mountainous driving (I live in Florida and the only time our rotors glow red is when Floridaman is...

I've exported a 2008 US Honda Fit to Europe (it's sold as the "Jazz" here). Many of the usual Jazz maintenance items don't appear to be the same. I have the battery worked out (Varta has an EU part number for a BCI group 51R) and brake pads figured out (several European Honda products use the...

Hi all, I'm relocating to Europe and exporting a Honda Fit. Oil changes are expensive here and I doubt that I'll be able to do my own (no private garage). With this in mind, I'd like to get an oil with the longest possible drain interval into my Honda before I ship it over. This way I won't...

Hi all... I have a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with the Mercedes NSG370 six-speed. I drained the factory mystery fluid at around 10k miles and replaced it with Pennzoil's Synchromesh (MS-9224) fluid per the Chrysler TSB. It's been great for a year and the shift quality has been somewhat improved over the...

Seafoam is about 50% heavy naphthenic oil, 30% naphtha, and the rest is isopropanol (per the MSDS). Could I blend something similar at home? 99% isopropyl is available from the drugstore and naphtha can be found at a hardware store....

Maybe something that can do e-mail notifications on replies? phpBB, perhaps? Has this been considered? RM

Anyone seen this stuff on retail shelves?

What are the future plans for BITOG's board software? Will it stay on UBB.Classic forever? [ February 07, 2005, 11:09 PM: Message edited by: rugerman1 ]

The owner's manual specifies something non-specific like "Mopar manual transmission lubricant". What does this German gearbox actually need? Is there an MS____ or an ACEA designation for it? Also, the PS and NP241 xfer case both call for ATF+4 yet both parts predate ATF+4 by a wide margin. With...

OEM? Stant? Any preferences? RM

The climate is mild SoCal. How does 5W-40 Rotella Synth do at 60F? Is it still thinner than a 10W-30? I'm thinking that a high TBN oil with good flow on startup is what I need. RM

Lithium complex keeps drying out and gumming up. What should I be using for this application?

Only 2-3 weeks away from a UOA on this stuff. Very impressed with the reduced consumption when compared to Havoline 20W-50 dino! This engine is not an oil-eater but it does use some.

I'm running Dexron III as a fork-oil and I like it a lot. But I'm about to bump up the spring rates and I'll be wanting something a little thicker. Are there any readily-available hydraulic oils that will work well in this application and provide a little bit higher viscosity? Power steering...
