Adding in my first oil change report.

Alright, I am just going to end this here. We arent getting anywhere... I get what you are saying and agree but we are still talking 2 different languages. Honestly, I am horrible at explaining things haha. I will put it like this. You are comparing how fast 2 different oils pour out of a cup. I...

Do you agree that the numbers on oil bottles are viscosity ratings? If so, then the viscosity goes up when the oil gets warm. The article you posted shows kinematic viscosity. I am talking about dynamic viscosity since we are talking about an engine that makes oil psi, not static flow under no...

I think we all have our own meanings for "thick" and "thin" haha. I say it like Polaris described. I say it based off how well it flows. Eggroll - the way you describe it is how I would say it pours. You take a bottle of Lucas engine stabilizer oil and you cant even pour it when cold. Its like...

You do know how they come up with viscosity numbers right? The numbers are based on flow resistance. The less the resistance (thinner oil) the smaller the number. That meaning if the 100°c # is bigger, it doesnt flow as well, meaning more resistance which equates to a thicker oil. I can bring...

I am honestly still baffled that most people think the number in front of the W means "warm".... and that oil "thins" out when it gets warm. :doh:

This is a funny thread, like most oil threads. Cant even imagine what some of you would say if I dropped 20w-50 in my car!

Going to say at least another week, probably 2. Boat isnt in the harbor yet. Once its in the harbor, it should be 2-3 days before it docks.

Looks like the 18s are getting close to shipping! The boat is in the port and docked.

Yep so one point is on the hood above the wheel. Good to know others have had it happen. Its been pretty freakin hot out here lately. The thing is, even if I wipe it off and let the car sit in the garage for a few days, it still comes back. I think my door was open but I dont think I closed it...

I dont think this is new thread worthy but I wanted to get your guys opinion. My Supra is leaking oil, from the door and hood.... Anyone else have this same thing happening? Second weird thing. I parked my car with just the nose in the garage, went to pull it all the way in a couple...

I couldnt do it. People annoy me. I like my piece and quiet out in the mountains. Plus all the nice windy mountain road, cant beat it.

Cool to see people going from Evos to Supras! We all must be getting old haha. With the prices these things are bringing, I am pretty sure mine is going up for sale soon.

Yes, code it in with bimmer code. I honestly cant tell you what it changes cause it seems nearly identical to normal sport mode.

This is exactly why I live as far out of the main city as I can....

Awesome! Thanks for the info. This may be something I attempt myself, well with the help of my brother who specializes in stuff like that but on a smaller scale.

Bone stock.

Nope, never. It always instant shifts in auto mode.

There is definitely a delay in shifting from 1st in manual mode. If I hit the flapper at 6k, it normally shifts by 6.5k. If you watch the gear indicator, you will see it instantly turns to 2, then shifts. This is why I leave my car in auto mode at the track. It can think faster than me and...

I like it. If you dont mind me asking, what does something like that cost? I want to do a digi-camo wrap on mine.
