I did a quick check to see if this has been posted before and it doesn't appear to have been. The new M1 FS 0W-40 doesn't have BMW approval so I checked the Mobil product guide below and I couldn't find any recommended oil for any BMW, new or oil...

=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/Boxgrover/media/PetersUOA_zpsj1blolbc.png.html][/URL] This is my track car and fast road use toy. There are more track days on this oil sample than I can remember. Time on this oil is just over three years at 38 months. The recommended oil grade is 5W-50 and I...

Hi guys, Just changed a leaking noisy water pump in my Vauxhall C20XE engined Caterham and need to refill with coolant. Caterham actual suggests only 30% antifreeze vs the standard 50% (presumably to aid in cooling) but I'm wondering what effect that has on inhibiting corrosion? I've read...

This is an all new engine from Toyota and the first turbo in a Lexus. It's a 2L four rated at 235 hp and 258 lb.-ft. Sound similar to the BMW N20 turbo four. The new small SUV it's coming in should be in dealers showroom this fall. I asked my local Lexus dealer what oil was specified for the...

Any members also a member of this "by invitation only" racing website?

I'm sure all members who got to know Tom, one of the most knowledgeable and finest gentlemen on BITOG, will join me in expressing our most hart felt condolences to him at this very trying time. She suffered a heart attack back on May 11th.

The German made Fuchs Titan GT1 EVO 0W-20 has the BMW LL-01 FE+ approval for use in the 245 hp turbo four N20 engine: http://www.generaloils.net/2014-02-12_AIS-InfoFuchs_TITAN-GT1-EVO-0W-20_EN.PDF Problem is it's not available in the US but should be in Canada. I haven't found PDS info on this...

I couldn't believe I saw it, but there it was in it's own liter bottles on the shelves of my local CDN Tire. Price $12.49/L. It's never made sense why they chose not to market it in the Great White North with it's class leading MRV spec'.

Hi all. I'm back from what I think was a well deserved road trip vacation to Arizona. I'm pleased to say I only got stopped for speeding 4 times! I've been once again invited to participate as a driver (with my Caterham) at the CMHF "Celebration of Speed" event at Canadian Tire Motorsports...

The October issue of LUBES'N'GREASES had an excellent article by Dr. Jack Zakarian, titled "V.I. Too Resistant to Change" that was captioned and discussed in the following post: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3148253/1 The gist of the piece was that Jack Zakarian...

My laptop has once again slowed to the point that even typing this is delayed. At this point, happens every 6 to 9 months, I just take it to a local computer shop to be wiped clean and start over. Costs me about $90 bucks every time. Is there another very simple option that a computer dunze...

I have an inexpensive HP Deskjet 3522 printer that only can scan one page at a time. But I want to be able to scan a few pages so that I can email as one document. I've been told there is a way to do this on my computer but I just can't figure it out. If some one can explain how to do it, in...

I picked up a couple of quarts of M1 SN 5W-50 at a Walmart near me. I was surprised to see them since Mobil stopped selling the 5W-50 grade years ago in Canada and even Walmart in the use doesn't carry the grade. The bottles had a "not for commercial sale" sticker on the back. Anyway I checked...

I've had two AGM batteries and they were good, always held a charge and then just suddenly failed. Even with a jump start the engine wouldn't run properly, they would idle but not take much load when you drove off without dying. Never had that problem with a traditional lead acid battery. Have...

Car was delivered to his Beverly Hills, Ca home on a flat bed truck: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/art...t-car-spin.html If interested the car is already for sale.

I've used various oil filters in my Vauxhall/Cosworth engined Caterham in the past including Quaker State (Purolator) QS31614, Fram PH3614 and NAPA 51348 and the maximum cold oil pressure was consistently 90 psi at elevated rev's. When I switched to the Mobil 102 filter my maximum OP topped out...

This was brought to my attention by a new Cdn member. Now that TGMO is supplied in bulk to all Toyota/Lexus dealers, you can still by it in one litre bottles for $5.65 or 5 L jugs but a better deal can be negotiated if you simply have them fill some empty oil jugs of your own. I got my local...

Most of us get M1 0W-40 at Cdn Tire when it's on sale for about $8.39/L. But it can be had cheaper if you buy a 6L case from an Imperial Oil depot. For example, NOCO Lubricants which has locations in Toronto, Ottawa, Belleville and Renfrew will sell it for $44.58/6L case which works out to...
