But wait, I made some more up myself. (No copy and paste here) Nobody can survive the Chuck Norris’s round house kick, not even Chuck Norris himself, that’s why he never kick himself. No 6 Cause of death is Murder. No 5 Cause of death is Illegal Drug No 4 Cause of death is Motor Vehicle Accident...

As I recall the dumb idiot tried to take on MM when he was overtaking and nearly wrote his car off. Never invite Paul on a car cruise - you've been warned! Would've been better to leave him in the ditch, safer for everyone... I don't go to car cruise anymore, I am married, haven’t got a single de...

Yeah, this copy and paste of random info or ill advice will lead to trouble if not fully understood or not intended for the Zeds. Do you even own a 300zx Paul? If so do you run it on an Ethanol mix and the wrong weight oil? I imported my own 300ZX TT 9 year ago, Rubber used laugh at my comment abou...

Buster wrote: The polymers can shear and burn forming deposits that can cause ring sticking and other problems. 10W-40 and 5W-30 require a lot of polymers (synthetics excluded) to achieve that range.
That's why I always said:
"Make sure it's 100% synthetic oil, not blend."

W in the 10W-30 label mean winter, it is not as important as the 30 part after the engine warmed up, so a 10W-30 oil will has the same Viscosity as a 10 weighted oil when cold, has the same Viscosity as a 30 weighted oil when hot, that’s why it is called Multi-grade, after sometime in use the oil ...

I run Mobil 1 (5W-50), what's your thoughts on that? Ok, yes it's more likely your oil will leak through the oil seal if you use lower Viscosity if your engine is already worn, (NA 150,000 km+, TT 120,00 km+?) But it would provide you a faster start-up at low temperature, more than 80% of the engin...

That's the old SAE study from more than 20 year ago, those day the oil break up too easy. Today's top oil have much better property. A series of bench engine tests and field trials have been carried out using Japanese domestic engines and vehicles. Various motor oil viscosity grades were evaluated i...

BS 5W oil is to thin for New Zealand temperatures, run that in a VG30 and you will shorten its life. 5W30 versus 10W30 Virtually all new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. use either 5W30 or 10W30 oil. The difference between the two is that the 5W30 flows better when cold, so if you live in a cold...

If you use 100% Syn 5W Oils, give you enough protection on cold morning, engine will last 50% longer.

Carerra2S is fast as Cayman S, yet not that much difference between 370Z and Cayman S.

Well, the porsche carrera cost more than twice as 370Z, but it isn't twice as good. You can spen the money you saved to bolt on a big mama turbo that will eat the Carerra for breakfast. And GTR is faster than any production Porche, V10 powered Carrera GT included. Car used Time (mins) Nissan GT-R 1....
