    PP 0W20 vs M1 AFE 0W20

    Happily use either but if I had to choose I would use M1.

    Confused about New Subaru Outback oil filters..part number / numbers

    They will all work. There are two Subaru sizes, tall and short. They're about 1/2" difference in length, but they all screw on the same. The 12A (short) or 15A (tall) was what Subaru of USA was using for several years. For some reason about 1.5 years ago, they stopped selling them, stating...

    Confused about New Subaru Outback oil filters..part number / numbers

    The 20A is correct. The 160 is also correct but only available overseas, although they do put them on the vehicles from the factory, or at least the Japanese ones.

    I put a Spectra in my wife's JKU a few years back and I am 95% sure it was same as original. It looked identical.

    I sure do miss cheap oil.

    I worked at an auto parts store here in Canada for a while as a kid in the late 90’s and also remember a quart of brand name conventional was 99 cents. Jugs were $4.69.

    Amsterdam to Rome layover of 85 minutes, will I make it to the gate? (Delta)

    It doesn't make sense to change to a later flight. If you miss it, they'll just put you on the next one anyway, so why book the later flight. When I know there are more later flights, I book like this all the time. In 2016 I was flying an A380 on British Airways to London, with a transfer to...

    Amsterdam to Rome layover of 85 minutes, will I make it to the gate? (Delta)

    It is almost certainly KLM If OP booked on one ticket, if you miss, it's on them. There are probably several KLM AMS to FCO flights daily, they'll put you on the next one.

    Amsterdam to Rome layover of 85 minutes, will I make it to the gate? (Delta)

    Probably. AMS is basically one big horseshoe and also very unique in that the security check is done as you enter the plane... Unless that has changed.

    Switching to 5w30

    If it consistently runs at 230 and I was driving it "hard" like on twisty back roads I would probably just use regular 5w30 like vanilla M1. If it just putts around town or even mildly driven hard the 0w20 will be sufficient without a concern. I would only go all the way to Euro grade 30/40 if I...

    Is there a reason why the back rows of flights are always unavailable?

    My first overseas flight (YVR to LGW) was back in 2008. This was kind of before online check-in became popular and all that and my wife and I were one of the last people to check in and weren't able to sit together. I kind of made a little stink about it and they ended up moving us to the very...
