225/55/16 Dunlop M3 Wintersport on the 528iT wagon, 196/65/15 WS-50 Blizzaks on the wifes 323, and 205/55/16 M3's on the daughters Jetta GLI. Gotton some use lately in CT. I think my old Michelin Artic Alpins were a little grippier in snow than the M3's but I do an awful lot of 75+ on dry...

Yep, I mentioned that a few months ago.

Don't quote him. Quote me.

You forgot V-10's. BTW an even firing order is only one aspect of balance. Lots of those balnced firing order arrangements have BIG mechanical imbalances - rocking couples, second order vibrations, etc.

Would've been kind of an anchor for large ships, with all that cast iron , donja think?

Sure they do, and no it's not a mystery. Check the Z-oil posts in the GC forum.

well, if he put 12 qts in it, that would explain where its going It has a 8 Qt sump: http://www.audi.ie/models/a8/a8_technical4_2.html Of course, HOW many OC has it had in its first 9k miles? New definition of OCD=Oil Changed Daily.

Yeah, but would you do the same if it said 'Brawny"? BTW I think I still have some Kodachrome 25 in the freezer.

Umm, have you been following any current racing rules and technology, BBY? You have managed to sandwich (club sandwich, actually) valid facts in between some pretty thin speculation and plain ole nonsense. F1 engines have to last 2 race weekends, at over 300 HP/liter and 18,000 RPM. Not contant...

I dunno, Gary. the reference dates from 1969. How much more antiquated to you want? I mean, like, Castrol GTX was a 10w-50 then, and probably sheared to,like, wow, a MMO-like viscosity in a 1000 miles or so. No wonder I was rebuilding the R-8 Gordini every 10,000 or so. You may want to check...
