It's not really about the idling in traffic thats the issue but the length of the commute and the number of cold starts/running time. A 30-40 minute commute in traffic every day, no issues but a 15 minute commute in traffic then that's an influence with regards to oil changes.

A lightened flywheel will make a difference to throttle response in neutral or with the clutch disengaged such as when rev matching on downshifts but nothing noticeable during driving in gear.

It may be because for mica or metallic finishes the direction the paint is laid down on the surface is critical. It's to do with how the metallics in the paint orientate on the surface. If the robot gun that lays the paint down has a gun pass thats a little off due to programming then you may...
When the engine is shutdown it traps HP fuel between the closed injector and the pump/hp regulator. If an injector leaks then it will allow fuel into one cylinder and cause an over rich mixture in that cylinder and possible short stutter on start up. Only happens after a decently long period of...
I'm just saying that bleeding is easy and costs nothing and MAY have an influence in the shift behaviour if it needs doing. Every gearbox is different even with gear selection. My gearbox shifts really nicely 1st to second for example where other complain but the 3rd to 4th can be a little...
Nice product. I think my idea of using an additional outlet on the drain fitting via a Banjo fitting is still good for retaining the factory sensor as well as having a dipstick. You might even be able to use this hardware and adapt it to my idea for those that want both options.

From past experience I've always thought that the Chinese stuff was a bit like this. Do you think they also get a contract to make a part and then produce extra for selling themselves? I always wondered about that.

Yea I tried grabbing an oil filter from Toyota at South Morang and was told they would have to order it in. I'm not surprised by anything to do with car manufacturers and dealers anymore. When they can't get a numberplate centred and level in in the plate recess and can't stock an oil filter for...
I have a level spot to jack. Set the jacks up and raise until they start to take some load on the suspension then select neutral and park brake off. Manual trans. Reverse the order coming down. Park brake back on before jacks fully release the car.
