I have three cars. One of them is a track car. I have bled the brakes multiple times on all of them. On the track car when I slam the brakes on the circuit I need to push the pedal sooooo far. I noticed its the same way on the van and the RSX. To my understanding I thought a brake pedal should...

What is this oil I have never seen before? Is there any difference between this and the Mobil 1 0w-40 I have been running. Was going to buy the Mobil 1 0W-40 FS for its higher HTFS specs since this car sees 5-8 track days a year and its a VQ35HR so its super hard on oil (yes I do have a bit dual...

In the spring I made a decision to change out all my cars oils to Amsoil, oil and filters, and just change them once a year. Well, I got cold feet with the car I take to the race track and changed it after 5 events (07 350Z and yes it has a dual pass oil cooler so temps are around 250F on track...
