Just out of curiosity - why would the kind of fuel delivery even mater for engine oil choice?

Best way to find a vacuum leak is with a propane torch.

Couldn't care less about brands. When I get a car, it's because I like that particular model for some reason. Renault Espace, Pontiac Transport, Chrysler Voyager, Ford Explorer are my cars oft the last 25ish years.

I would even say Waze is better for everyone - I changed from Google Maps to Waze several years ago, and never looked back.

As a DP, I shot a feature film with Judd Nelson, Michael Madsen, William Baldwin and Gianni Loffler a while ago. Most actors are getting better with the years, especially when it comes to difficult scenes. I love to shoot with older talents.

I only have my phone with me in the bed, cause I use podcasts to talk me into sleep, but it's in flight mode. Usually I wake up around 5:30. Sometimes I try to sleep an other 30 minutes, but I can't, get bored and want coffee - so 5:32 that's when I get up.

Every single day a new EU-insanity over here. Well, the chroming of bumpers and trim for vintage vehicles is mostly done in eastern Europe and Turkey since years anyway, because it got super expensive here. So yeah, those guys will have a field day, when they got all the jobs now. It's called...

Flame polishing :cool:

Seriously? What part of "he did a ton of tests and extensive research to figure out how K&N does the filtering," didn't you understand? The only one with zero testing theories here is you.

You don't get it. The flow bench tests was just for flow new vs. dirty and have nothing to do with the filtering performance - just sheer flow. Regarding the pulsing vs steady flow - since you don't have a test ether, I consider your theory also in the flat earth territory. David - on the other...

Well you don't have to be an engineer or scientist, to do such a test, but actually he is an engineer. No "theory" ether, he had several of them (new and dirty) on the flow bench. And yeah, if you want to see those tests, why don't you do them?

Not that I know, but here is an explanation from one of the most respected living engine builders.

Engines don't have a constant suction like test benches, engines pulse. Wet "gauze" filters like K&N are depended on those pulses - no pulsing = no filtering.

Lightyear and Sono tried it - with a lot "this is the future" marketing ******** bingo - and went belly up with that concept. The additional miles they claimed are pretty much under lab conditions where the sun shines every day for 12 hours from the perfect angle. Real world additional miles was...

Testing wet filters on something that resembles a flow bench is completely useless and will get you false results - you need to test them on an actual engine.

You nailed it :D

On German Autobahn when you floor it maybe ;-) But at normal cruising speeds, you barely filling the cylinders, making maybe 35 HP at 1500 rpm as you go. No way that octane is making a difference there, unless your advance curves are all over the place.

As always - it depends. My 2002 Explorer has over 300.000 km on the clock, and though I had to to some rust repair and there is some annoying electrical stuff going on (like it always thinks my rear door is open at a certain temperature and humidity) the rest is still okay (considering age and...

No manufacturer backdoor necessary, they just buy that data from some app, that you gave access to your camera and mic to make it work. A lot of folks for example give Instagram, TikTok or Facebook access to location, mic and camera. Could be also some navigation, or your camera app andwhatnot.
