Going to be a great weekend

That center tube is 🤌

The OCI on my Fiesta ST is 3-4k miles mostly due to fuel dilution. I’ve done a bunch of UOA’s to support my decision. This car is also highly modified. The Mazda does 10k intervals on HPL

Did three last weekend: 2010 Mazda 5 Out: HPL no VII 5w30 fram titanium 3600 filter In: HPL PP+ 5w30 fram endurance 3600 filter 2007 Camry 2.4 Out: HPL no VII 5w30 fram titanium 3600 filter In: Castrol edge extended 5w30 fram endurance 3600 filter 2015 Fiesta ST Out: Hpl no VII 5w30 STP...

I’ve posted UOA’s for both oils if you search my post history. The no VII will combat fuel dilution a little better

Yes. If you order it use the forum code bitog15 for a discount

Personal choice is Castrol because I’m a fanboy. But only the extended performance gold bottle stuff.

Many folks swear by PUP due to the low NOAK. Even then I wouldn’t worry about SAPS levels unless you are burning oil

With that engine you need to be worried about lspi. You need to use a sn+ or sp oil. And DO NOT under any circumstances go more than 4-5k on an oci I have a hybrid turbo Fiesta ST that’s approaching 179k miles now on the original engine and gearbox Of those two oils I’d choose the...

I am very interested in the euro version. I don’t see why I couldn’t use it unless it’s lspi prone (which I highly doubt even with its calcium level)

If I’m interpreting this correctly, what they are saying is the iron, aluminum, lead, and sodium levels are too high for new oil.

If my transmission ever grenades itself I’m definitely rebuilding it with a LSD

I have 2 sets of wheels. The daily’s have neogens. The others have r888r’s. I only bust out the Toyos if I know I’m going to the canyons or for a cruise with some friends.

My bean. I’ve added euros since this pic

Yes I use a Cobb AP. Tuneplus did the current tune I also have tunes from Dizzy and Tunewerks (Randy Robles)

I am aware not all e85 is created equal 100%. I don’t run straight e85, I blend it with 91 to make e30. I’ve wired in an ethanol content gauge so I’m always really close to 30%. There is enough leeway in the tune to accommodate for it.

I’m not familiar with modern veedubs, but if there is a removable elbow on the Intake side of the turbo make sure the bolts haven’t backed out. I’ve seen this before on other cars (mostly ST’s)

That Focus was probably a hoot! Really this was just more for my curiosity than anything. I really appreciate you’re reply as I know you are a long time respected member. Question for you as I’m still learning things everyday around here. Many folks with these cars that run bigger turbos...

If you are still blending ethanol with pump fuel that’s why. My recent report shows fuel dilution and viscosity dropping as well with HPL no v 5w30
