    MOST current GC VOAs/specs/cSts/TBNs/HTHSes

    I apologize, but the FAQ hasn't been updated in two years. There's a few factors, but I kinda fell out of researching oil. If anyone wants to take over, shoot me a PM. I posted the same offer in the FAQ thread, but still no takers.

    FAQ - GC ( German Castrol )

    LubeOiler, If you're asking me, I don't use additives nor do I mix oils. I'm not against additives, but I'd rather spend money on professional consultation. And mixing just isn't my thing... You can call me a purist

    Castrol Syntec GC 0w-30 - 5000mi - 2005 Subaru WRX

    Originally Posted By: va3ux Copper isn't really "back up". It's perfectly consistent with the previous UOA. This UOA had 25% more miles than the previous one and the copper is up exactly 25%. That's true, I forgot about that factor. But does wear track linearly with miles? (At least within a...

    Castrol Syntec GC 0w-30 - 5000mi - 2005 Subaru WRX

    I'm not frightened by the "high" copper, just wish it was little lower. But I do feel better with everyone's feedback. I'll keep using up my GC stash till it's depleted. Steve S, I'm slowly breaking my short OCIs! edhackett, Thanks, I'll have to check my oil cooler. I never noticed that trend...

    Castrol Syntec GC 0w-30 - 5000mi - 2005 Subaru WRX

    Driving details: Nothing exciting in this interval. I'd estimate 70% city driving and 30% freeway. Easy on the throttle for the first 10 minutes - Personal Comments: Copper is back up, but there were no motorsports events or spirited drives. Any comments are welcome! Current UOA: Code: OIL...

    2002 Subaru WRX, 6600 miles on GC - Lead?

    I recall you were running a Cobb Stage 2 setup. Are you using the OTS Cobb map or did you get Protuned?

    Found this over on Nasioc... http://www.intellistick.com/product.php Initial observation: Doesn't tell you anything about metal wear, Si, etc. From what I read, it measures the additive. No idea if the method is accurate. Cool idea, but I want more data! Discuss.

    Those annoying things that curse you all day

    Yeah, it became an inside joke whenever someone said the word bizarre. (Or bazaar for all we cared). The speaker had the uh-oh expression and feared what they unleashed. Like clockwork, someone came through and sang the chorus. The same lovely lyrics you bestowed on your children. Of course...

    FAQ - GC ( German Castrol )

    AutoUnion, The FAQ definitely needs updating. Excuses for not updating: 1. I've been lazy and/or busy - take your pick. 2. The forum went through a UBBCode change a while ago which destroyed the formatting I had. Basically, old posts retained the old format and new posts conformed to the latest...

    What do you like about the new board format?

    +'s in my particular order 1. CODE format fixed for Firefox - great for formatting UOAs. 2. Nested LIST works - Good for organizing those FAQs. 3. Quotes with user name. 4. Edit button. -'s Not new, but I want search to return results by titles OR posts. eg. I search for "What do you like about...
